What can I say, we had a good run Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah What I think awakening really involves Is a reexamination of our common sense Our common sense has been rigged Aye, aye What can I say? We had a good run Plenty fun along the way We just never saw the problems in our ways until we Looked Up It was too late Too busy runnin for change, really just runnin in place, unh Some of us did it for the right reasons Some let the money change us Everyone accepted the Deception of the funny paper It was like leading a flock; too easy to not No Spike Lee in the plot Doin the Right Thing was a concept, not a genuine conquest But we used it in the Constitution to constitute the American Conscience Savior (Save your) Complex We don't take signs serious as the fakest bomb threats Maybe I should save my breath and try to get comfortable As we lay in this hotbed of fatal progress But despite it all, still not fatalistic You ain't got hope you ain't got shit, and I know every day's a blessing Take it a step at a time My only weapon is my mind Brushes and pens is the only line of defense that corruption can never divide Product of my environment; feelin really shitty yet resilient Penning every written willin that the ripple effect is a positive influence I cannot make people change- their mind or their ways Realized all I can change is me Daily attempt to be better and hope I inspire the same It ain't the pride that I blame Though the devil wear Prada It's the collective surrender of power Til we all take individual responsibility We'll still be helpless to stop what we started That's why I'm startin a discussion I don't know what art is I do know it's not for nothin Not for nothin Finally at peace with the thought of death And if it all just ends, well at least I believe it was all a test So what's passin but the right answers to the questions that we're tasked with And this life damn sure is a bad bitch She ain't askin for respect, kid, she commands it And the average man can't manage That's why the whole planet treated as bottomless pot of gold By a sick prodigal family called humanity That manically pretends to be panacea for the cancer we are in reality It's amateur theatre, and this amphitheater is a damn no deeper Than the plan to keep up with the rising waters of the angry seas I seen a scary scene and I was barely dreamin Think a nightmare might merely mean You should be warier where you sleep Don't mean to panic people, but the clock's a notch from dodecahedron And when midnight strikes, the insight might finally sink in the end is nigh And by then the time is too spent for science to indemnify all the damage we done Most would say they won't stand for it But moreso display they can't stand to see it So we manufactured a fantasy, and sit on pampered asses, Bystander Effect Bidin (Biden) time we don't have for recess By the time we get Sanders elected, man'll be dead And everybody gonna Feel the Burn with no atmosphere left And even if we had a president fit to lead, we led on Believin in the White Saviorism, sayin, Yeah, what he said America need a vanity check No, I know it's not the people's fault that we fell so far It's the Elite that call all the evil shots But the people are all the people got So what we cannot do is nothing I don't have the answers or Sway to be frontin like I could solve it I'm just startin a discussion I can't speak for other individuals I can only really speak for myself, so I can just tell you I'm now a person that's resolved to get things done I'm moving forward Til we all take individual responsibility We'll still be helpless to stop what we started And then maybe if that happens We shall be in a position to handle our technology with more sense With love instead of with hate For our environment
