Race to Zero

Don't be evil is the motto but
The definition is shifting
Normalizing the wrong
So it don't seem so bad
The scales tipping
We're slipping
The politricks keep rippin and quippin
Grippin' our reality
Then you look away and their flippin the script
Making declarations like they're prophetic or prescient
Turns out it's just their own manifesto
Tryna circumvent
The process: that we're told to trust
Like Hinkie's 76ers
But the poor stay poor and the rich?
They're taking pictures
From their yachts, galas and mansions
Beautiful People Marilyn Manson
Luxembourg Swiss banks
Tax avoidance like DAMN son!
Changing priorities on some drunk and disorderly
Think they're being so slick but nah
It's a clear forgery
And we're not falling for it
Or looking the other way no more
You can drown out one voice
But together we can't be ignored
Settling scores
It's time to find a way to level the playing field
If you're talking but saying nothing just keep your lips sealed

If you're talking but saying nothing
Just keep your lips sealed
If you're talking but saying nothing
Just keep your lips sealed

I used to know everything
But I'm not so sure now
The truth will set you free
If you can find it in the crowd
It used to be that having the facts
On your side was a win
Now we spend our time fighting
Against an army of straw men
Shit it's a slippery slope
But we knew that already
Lies used to be so subtle
Now they're part of the vocabulary
Pretty scary there's ne'ery an option for what to do
Because they want you
To feel like everybody's out to get you
But it's not true and you know it
Egos ruining the show and
Equality's never meant winners and losers
It's just a joke friend
Anyone who tells you otherwise is just hiding
The fact they don't believe we're all the same
Tryna be dividing
And guess what?
You don't need that type shit in your life bruh
I'm reppin The Valley City
So I'm swinging like a Fight Club
No place for discrimination
On this track we're aeratin
With this dictation momentarily migrating frustrations
What

If you're talking but saying nothing
Just keep your lips sealed
If you're talking but saying nothing
Just keep your lips sealed

There's a lotta we gotta get rid of
Like how we all think about how we feel
The era of blind trust is over
They're not 'out to get you' but it's real
That they can if they want to
Whoever they might be
50 million users breached?
But they're the best in the industry
So Cash Rules Everything Around We
You know it's true
Everybody's gotta pay the bills
When it comes time to no matter who
Money makes the world go round
That's what they say
But without it the world
Keeps on spinning like any other day
Try to play me, get played
You squaring up? Catch a fade
I'm blowing up like sulfur, charcoal
And potassium nitrate
Gunpowder, rap louder
I'm speaking for y'all not about to flounder
Under the pressure, never been better
Cuz I've been through the bad weather
And really it's all the same
Sunshine or rain just gotta maintain
Fight the good fight
Question it all cuz they're coming for your brain
It's a Race to Zero, whoever's winning
Tryna make you lose
So I'm diffusing confusion
And I'm bout to re-write the rules

If you're talking but saying nothing
Just keep your lips sealed
If you're talking but saying nothing
Just keep your lips sealed
