Brought Down Alley
I was in the process when it occurred to me
That never was I ever, ever, ever meant to see
What's to come in this life: it's a vague mystery
It's more fun with a vice, but it makes it all seem like it's fiction
Watching from behind my own eyes
What's been lasting inside could go blast in the skies
Let their brains digest everything the truth has proved to me
Insane?
I guess, but if you knew too then you would be just like I be
Things that incite me are
Violence, oppression, and wack rappers biting
Spits that I know that I flipped on my last shit
Most probably wouldn't think to question, but I'll ask it
It's all been a front since the dawn of the surplus
Constantly fucked and deprived of a purpose
Repress all my blessings that I could use to be
The one whose expressions ignite and set you free
This sentence burns like relentless hell-fire
Senses blur from this string of bullshit liars unleash on the masses
That's how it's always been
That's the way it's gonna be
Don't go out down on your knees
What you're prayin' for, it ain't ever gonna come
What you racing for?
There ain't nowhere left to run
They've been rulin' our life since before we could breath
And, it's senseless to fight, cause they know where we sleep
This isn't a life to me
I've gotta see if I can show you what's up
So we can try to take 'em down
This isn't a life to me
I've gotta see if I can show you what's up
So that we can try to break 'em down
Until I'm in a coffin, I'll continue to be
Enticed by a life that I'll never get to lead
I'm enchanted by fantasies
Can't sink to deep
Cause I always wake up screaming when I lie in bed asleep
Reminded by The Pharcyde we're riding a Bizarre Ride
Attached to the tracks, cause the fact is we can't fly
If I could, I would be the first to ascend
To the edge of outer space, to where gravity extends
Crash back down to the Earth with my full force
Cause an impact crater when I land due to g-force
Seismographs would register the blast, they'd detect me
Girls would probably see it; think I'm cool, think I'm sexy
Just a subtle glimpse of this life I'd like to live
But, physics is intrinsic to the universal grid
What good's a mind if you can't enhance it with trees?
It won't alter your perception any more than you need
I've processed this
I'm not impressed
Injustice with no consequence
I represent a consciousness of all this shit that I detest
An accretion disk once coalesced in to eight spheres
On one of which, a race was born obsessed with death
Who conquered those with altered flesh
I'll take my lid off
Ride out to the coast
Spent my time inside the script, but now I live in the post
Too fried to say, "Let's get off, let's make it the most!"
You're invited to this joint, me and my crew is the host
When we boast, we can back up the words with the beat
To replace all of that wack stuff you've littered in the street
I've arrived just to find them unprepared for my arrival
Sidled by reality, too weak for survival
Gotta reach up to the step above
Know what this is constructed of
A lust replusive, flowing trees
With screaming hate and panning schemes
If not by now then around again
A séance for the fallen men who came before us
Left behind, the formulas for us to find
I've taken stacks
I've toked and cheifed
I've eatin shrooms
I've fought with trees
I've taken class
I've got degrees
I've common sense and debt from fees
What you see is actually what I want you to think
What you don't see are the things that make me seem out of sync
With humanity, I can't see a thing to convince me
What is yet to come will be better than it is
Every orbit is the same
It's a shame, cause we could change
All we need to do is race trade to the same shade
Don't take my position as anything that's different
Then your savior would be saying if he wasn't hung by bitches
But, he was, and we're left with a bunk interpretation
Used to abuse and enslave the "weaker" races
That never was I ever, ever, ever meant to see
What's to come in this life: it's a vague mystery
It's more fun with a vice, but it makes it all seem like it's fiction
Watching from behind my own eyes
What's been lasting inside could go blast in the skies
Let their brains digest everything the truth has proved to me
