To know

These times
Make or break you
What's right
For you to choose?
Your life
Flashes for you
But what's left in the end?

It's the 9-5
Keeping survive
One small hope to thrive
Every minute of my life
Every second I'm awake
I often wonder
What will it take?
The stakes have been raised
The moment is passing
And we're barely awake
So don't take a break
It ain't our turn to sleep
Keep your life from running in the deep

We be talkin' bout a change
Ain't no change in sight
Hate still runs the streets at night
But we're running out of time
Wake up, don't let them break up
Whatever we made up
This won't last
Don't forget about the past
When the curse was cast
Take a moment but think fast
It ain't about your caste
It's about where you're coming from
And where you're at

How do you know
You're gonna get out alive?
How do you know
that it's worth your time?
How do you know
Where you'll end up?
Life as we know it stops

They got me back on the grind
Don't nobody care bout my life
It is what it is they say without a flinch
So why do I even try?
Sometimes it feels like there's just
no way to fly
But can we make it?
Keep up the pace
In this endless race
Across time and space
Yeah, it's a minimum wage
That maintains a maximum rage

How do you know
You're gonna get out alive?
How do you know
that it's worth your time?
How do you know
Where you'll end up?
Life as we know it stops

How do you know
Know, know, know...
How do you know
You're gonna get out alive?
Life as we know it
Stops...
