Real recognize real And yall as unfamiliar as blue pills Raised in an upbringing where hustling paid bills Money clips for the the franks, koi fish for the tanks I seen the shady when I was a young baby By the time I was a teen, Operated the machine Wasn’t feelin the regime, resignated from the team Started early, meeting goals for my dreams A lot of potholes in the road, broke rims from the flats Slippin on them snakes scales they left shed in the grass Keep the lawn low for slithering and watch for reptilians They’ll rob you for a buck, what they'll do to make millions The same story stay skewed, to manipulate views of the glory Take heed to the allegory the bricks laid in lies, truth be the journey Lady Liberty with ivs in a ambulance gurney   I think the world’s going crazy Somebody bout to push the button for the bomb They want us to stay calm But the worlds going crazy They trying to keep us all blind to the truth Setting fire to the youth Man the worlds going crazy I know we heard all before When it’s time for us to go, gotta go But if the worlds going crazy Then I wanna know now, I’ma go out with a bang, boom, pow   The words grown and mature sposed to go hand and hand But hand to god, I don’t think yall understand Associated with the 85 ignorance is blissful Not a genius but I understand disparity it’s dismal Midnight feeding Gizmo, throwing water a grease flame With pride like a lion, fade clippers to the beast mane The power’s in the locks Now the combinations lost They rewrote the history, won’t sell it back to us at cost Made a killing off of pennies, while we drowning in a bottle They say numbers don’t lie, but what liars create the models The wood’s bowing in the middle class, we can’t bare the weight So we riot in the streets, case of displaced hate If perception is reality, then media is God And majority our country, fall in line with the mob The homie hit me for advice but I ain’t know what to say Told em flush it, same shit different day, ugh I think the world’s going crazy Somebody bout to push the button for the bomb They want us to stay calm But the worlds going crazy They trying to keep us all blind to the truth Setting fire to the youth Man the worlds going crazy I know we heard all before When it’s time for us to go, gotta go But if the worlds going crazy Then I wanna know now, I’ma go out with a bang, boom, pow Boom, Pow

[Lyrics] I never followed the political gander as facebook threads of old friends get sadder It’s an enchroma lens that exposes true color It’s fist of north star, rip apart few brothers and sisters too. Tight like blisters and shoes Let it scar or rip the band aid off. quick and smooth Some are trollin like poppy… regurgitate and copy Or fighting for their egos… so arrogant and cocky Get offended say shit they can’t take back then block me I had to take a break, a social media mistake I ain’t in it for the likes the way I guess a lot of others are it’s like a big game, and they wanna be the oligarch I’m in it for the music and the money but it’s soul in art They faking for follows, they words are all hollow Twist truth like the caps on a kool-aide bottle, I ain’t thirsty Tekashi snitch nine. Controversy ---hook--- I see the devil in reflections of my phone screen cause social media’s our vitamins and protein Addicted to the dopamine, rush from the scrolls Depression and anxiety from internet trolls I see addiction in reflections of my phone screen Choosing sides like a sports team... Got us fiending for that dopamine, rush from the scrolls Superficial satisfaction from internet trolls ---hook--- Too many straight fake or they manufactured When did real become hate cause you ego fractured? Variables and factors, get your emotions mastered, It’s Kris kross, overalls it’s all ass backwards They in the thread trenches, with duffle bags full of monkey wrenches and got an army ready to bomb your mentions Agree with 98 percent everything you stand for But let the other 2 be your example The same horde had your back and now you getting trampled Used to be the hero now you cancelled, Easy to be dismantled It’s shoot first and ask questions last that’s how most of these keyboard gangstas pass Trigger finger be the thumb, what’s your friendship become When a stranger cast stones for a hit and run Scarlett letter like a target, suddenly they bout the 2nd Then we find out she lied but homie ain’t survive the wreckage ---hook--- I see the devil in reflections of my phone screen cause social media’s our vitamins and protein Addicted to the dopamine, rush from the scrolls Depression and anxiety from internet trolls I see addiction in reflections of my phone screen Choosing sides like a sports team... Got us fiending for that dopamine, rush from the scrolls Superficial satisfaction from internet trolls ---hook---

Finally Find A Cause You Can Fight Foe, Just Seems Trivial And Spiteful Like Anything The Little Hand Man Say, You Wanna Ride Foe But Every Time He’s Wrong Now It’s My Fault?

Lyrics ----- Imagine If Emotional Connection To Our Politics Was All A Trick Taught In Marketing In Colleges The Psychology Of Charlatans, Manipulating Masses Like Pickle Tween Bases Stuck In 22 Catches Democracy Or Fascist, The Puppet Masters Pulling Strings And Controlling Natural Disasters Misinformation Leaked Quietly, Purposely Non-Facually So Naturally, Catastrophe Is What They After Money Rule The Politicians And The Media Who Scream Anything To Keep Your Eyes On The Screen, Cater To A Certain Team Face Painted Like A Hooligan In Sports, Play The Fool Ignorance Is Bliss, Others Get Cohorced Family And Coworkers Arguing Over A Headline They Probably Skip The Article Then Redline The Anger In They Head's Why, They Facebook Threads, Lies And Hatred Ending Friendships, Hazardous To What Was Once Sacred They Been Standing On They Soapbox... So Long They Legs Sleep The Pins And Needles Can Cut Deep Glass House Tryna Throw Rocks... Streaming On They Ig They Fiending For Likes And Retweets We Running Through The Roadblocks... And Steamrollin The Streets Like Fuck The World Dont Ask Me Keep Following Them Robots... Brainwashed And Dead Meat The Shepard Lead Slaughter To Sheep It's A Lot Of Finger Pointing And I Understand The Anger But It's Only So Much You Can Blame A Stranger Our Planet Is In Danger, Our People Parasitic To The Host Tryna Be King Of The Hill On It's Slippery Slopes The Trickery's Gross On All Sides, We Stuck In A Trance Like How Is Science A Political Stance... Force A Needle In Your Flesh, Freedom Is Stretched, Cash Rules, The Rules Bent And Everybody Thinks The Other Side Is The True Threat But I Ain't Hear The Truth Yet, I'm Still Analyzing Angles The Scarred Banner Tattered And Strangled Our Foolish Pride Shattered In Shambles, Milk, Honey And Rainbows That Used To Be The Carrots They Dangled And Watching News More Like A Gameshow, They Rather See You Lose Even If It Means They Lose Too Choppin Nose Spite Ya Face, Like We All Losing The Race, A Disgrace What A Lot Of The Planet's Reduced To They Been Standing On They Soapbox... So Long They Legs Sleep The Pins And Needles Can Cut Deep Glass House Tryna Throw Rocks... Streaming On They Ig They Fiending For Likes And Retweets We Running Through The Roadblocks... And Steamrollin The Streets Like Fuck The World Dont Ask Me Keep Following Them Robots... Brainwashed And Dead Meat The Shepard Lead Slaughter To Sheep

Lyrics ----- The Walls Closing In, And Sidewalks Thinnin The Streets Reek Of Piss And Bad Body Oder Clinging To My Nose Hairs, Smelling Like Suffering... For Some All The Damage Done-There Ain't No Recovering. IYou Work Your Whole Life, Scared Of Taking A Risk, Maxing Out You Credit Card To Level Up, Forced To Close Business. Rules Different For The People In Power, Who See The World Through Binoculars From Ivory Towers. They Budget A Couple Billies For The Houseless, But While The State Burn We Running Out Of Water Tryna Douse It. The Rent’s High And Homes On A Limit Supply. You Either Wanna Work And Can't Get A Good Job, Or Ain't Willing To Work A 9-5. I Got Vaxed And At First I Was Iffy But Something Bout Forcing Shots Don't Sit Right With Me. The Government's The Epicenter Of Recreational Outrage… Where Weak Hearts Do An About Face Everybody Thinks The Presidents A Hero Or Villain Personally I Don't Echo The Feeling... I Think They All Scumbags They All Scum Bags Maybe You Think Them Politicians Really Care Bout The People Truth Is That Most Grimy And Evil, Come On They All Scumbags They All Scum Bags Now I Done Seen Them Turncoats, Flip Flopping Like A Fish Outta Water Cause They Don't Care About A Thing Besides The Mightiest Dollar And Red And Blue As Far As I Knew Been Crips And Bloods The Governments The Same, Pimps And Thugs Most Figured Out The Game And Either Play Or They Won't With No Confidence In Our System To Vote I Guess Them Facebook Threads Spread A New Way To Think People Rather You Look Dumb Then Have A Honorable King You Been Riding For Your Team So Long You’ve Forgotten The Point False Idols Manipulate Through Fake Rotten Exploits Everybody Feel Entitled To A Backstage Pass But-Afraid To Peak Behind The Curtain, House Of Lies Might Collapse They Been Mad For So Long, When They Finally Realize They Wrong They'll Double Down Like An Automaton Pride, Ego And Insecurity Are Dangerous Traits For A Country They Say Used To Be Great, But What You Think? Everybody Thinks The Presidents A Hero Or Villain Personally I Don't Echo The Feeling... I Think They All Scumbags They All Scum Bags Maybe You Think Them Politicians Really Care Bout The People Truth Is That Most Grimy And Evil, Come On They All Scumbags They All Scum Bags

Lyrics ----- Chillin comfortable on the fence While the world get offended in defense Twelfth round and we in the clinch You crying, angry complaining from the bench Man, fuck the world with a broke broom stick and a middle finger Anybody in power, use an iron fist and a stinger I know I ain’t got the answer that’s the dif between us I mean it’s more to politricks than just being a genius See it’s some shit that better change but it’s gon take a while Probably not in our lifetime, we not in out right mind You think cause we disagree you gotta fake a smile Like he part of that right side, and follow that white lie I never fully aligned with a party, even a homie That’s not original thought, that’s a fuckin robot Aint got a shot at POTUS not playing 2 sides against the middle We voters for lesser evil, still stuck in a pickle I ain't saying shut up and dribble I’m telling you shit is not that simple Fighting each other over scraps and kibble While the puppeteers laugh and giggle We headed towards another war that's civil Throwing rocks and barely causing a ripple And so i burn sage for my crystals, blow trees like a whistle Try to read just to ease my mental I don’t like to be pessimistic but the truth is in the batter The rich are overconsuming getting fatter You either believe the data, or gossip over the chatter But fighting over opinions don’t matter It’s some shit that we changed through protests and fighting on front lines, And sharing on social media posts Still it’s some shit that’ll take us some generations, it ain’t about having patience What we gon do til they change or we revolt. So what’s your plan of approach? Cause fuck being a martyr I’ll learn the game and drop jewels on my sun and my daughter We on a ship in the ocean, but ain’t controlling the weather It’s sink or swim. Suit up in a life jacket or complain bout the water I’m tryna change my community directly for the people i’m affecting Though my passion, make the most out of my actions You're not an elephant or donkey... Your team is the people So if you're really bout solutions check your mother fuckin ego I ain't saying shut up and dribble I’m telling you shit is not that simple Fighting each other over scraps and kibble While the puppeteers laugh and giggle We headed towards another war that's civil Throwing rocks and barely causing a ripple And so i burn sage for my crystals, blow trees like a whistle Try to read just to ease my mental

about

Sociopolitical commentary... We might agree or disagree on who our favorite team is or what rules we should follow, but there's some major human behavioral issues that are too often ignored.. Maybe I'm getting into some of that... Maybe I'm just talking shit... You tell me what you think...
