The Man
Some days
I feel so empty inside
I want to hide
Looking at the angry world with eyes wide
I stare them down
Watching the world blaze
Fire wide open
Filling the maze
I'm not religious
Yet right now hands raised
I feel the need to praise
Watching the politics turn
What can I do
Just see it burn
Empty tears mixed with dreams
Hell or the highway
My surroundings pushed to extreme
You tore me at the seams
Dared me to scream
Snapping my fingers at brain dead teens
Wouldn't look up
Even being bombed to smithereens
By all means
Look on past
I see where we're headed
Vividly
I panic and squirm
Lividly
I stand up
Civily
I'm lifted I push the limits I listen I live through every lyric I hear
The bass pushing me forward the rhythm tapping my thumb
I'm dumb I'm scum
They throw me in this slum
Saying I better be picking up the pieces
I don't want an income of one million and one
I just want to push to achieve greatness
I say I'm being pushed down
I'm pulling myself back up
I'm done
Crammed into a hideout far away from the sun
Too late
It's only starting
Pick up a pencil cause I'm not done
I'm anxious and angry
Hate filled and frankly
Every time I say I'm done
I'm pulled back in
The revolution for all the people who already fought and thought they won
But it was spun
There back at it and there is work to be done
I stun
Not going to lie I'm a workaholic
Beating the clock my medicine
But at this time we need less drugs and speed
For time is not against us
More hands on mending
For those who pause and get shot
For some who don't think thoroughly
You shoot s*** outta your head
not taking it in heavily
I plead guiltyYet
I'm here to bandage, seam together and fight
For those who think the war goes on forever your right
Doesn't mean it's not worth it
We unearth it
Together we rebirth the earth
Stuck in tangent scheme
White black and inbetween
Different and united hear us scream
You have a voice use it
Use your mind before you lose it
I lied time is against us
But the situation is of the essence
Sometime you shouldn't focus on the specifics
just focus on the rhythm
Im one to talk
Use your voice not you hands
Use your mind
For it is much stronger than the man
