Synthetic

Ah
Ah

It's the oxygen we breathing
The food that we eating
The water that we drinking
It's all synthetic
The things that we seeing
The lies we believing
The lives that we leading
It's all synthetic

So how can we survive in this world that we never chose?
It's the only one we've ever known
So how can we survive in this world that we never chose?
It's the only one we've ever known

I'm tryna travel the globe, living like Al Capone
Soon as they turn the lights on
You see me shining bright with all my diamonds
The captain of the ship, this trip or journey you could ride on
The pressure built, it start to feel like the grip of a python
I plot like mobsters with accomplices and all my paizons

The book I write on is right on, they know that I'm righteous
I let the flow enlighten, I let the tone entice 'em
I ran my route, let's go for more like Minnesota Vikings
I think my persona's timeless, built it all I'm being honest
Coming from the lowest vantage, I don't think they understand it
Overworked and over planned it, master mind the man and manage

I'm obsessed, I might be manic
I'm invested in the standard
A million miles I ran it
Around this shallow planet
We in the simulation virtually communicating
What's real and what's fake, the distinction is obscure and tainted
I'm stealing shores, see the oar, of course it's complicated

It's the oxygen we breathing
The food that we eating
The water that we drinking
It's all synthetic
The things that we seeing
The lies we believing
The lives that we leading
It's all synthetic

So how can we survive in this world that we never chose?
It's the only one we've ever known
So how can we survive in this world that we never chose?
It's the only one we've ever known

Yo
Look a rebel in his eyes, devil in disguise
Deaf within the lies, well with in his guise
Selfish with his pie, give me a slice of that
The sanctuary these carry can bury us alive
Nefarious, live for whatever life you track

I used to sit in my sister's truck, absorbing the sort of culture
That corporate America wouldn't accept at first
Yet every other commercial spot is stocked with imagery
The remedy was unbalanced
Better obey your thirst
Chirping at the tip of your masters foot, your ass is shook

Stimulus packets that package money that they haven't took (what?)
Money don't trickle down, it trickles up
Fattened pigs for the slaughter, the farmer don't give a-
About the livestock, stop trying to survive
I'd live your life to flourish, malnourished you never can find Lock
Learn to read between the lines of the scripture
It's either you're all prophetic or synthetic

It's the oxygen we breathing
The food that we eating
The water that we drinking
It's all synthetic
The things that we seeing
The lies we believing
The lives that we leading
It's all synthetic

So how can we survive in this world that we never chose?
It's the only one we've ever known
So how can we survive in this world that we never chose?
It's the only one we've ever known
