World's Gone Crazy
03:02
|
|||
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---

Lyrics

I Ain’t Been Living Life To The Fullest
And Honestly I Been A Bit Foolish, Blessed Family And Music
Figured I Got The Tools Lemme Use It
More Passion, Heart, Grind Than I Can Do With
Let Me Take That Back… But I Been Acting Lazy
I Got A Knack For Kick Raps But Lately, I Been Lackin’ On My Gifts
Wasn’t Sharpening My Craft, Call Me Moses With A Staff
Was Too Focused On The Math Instead Of Kickin Riffs
Out Of Shape And Undisciplined, Rebellious Young Dissident
A Journey To Be King Or Equivalent…
Sown Seeds In My Garden Grow
Tryna Spend Time For They Old And Wanna Split Like Particles
Spending Less Time Scrolling, Less Netflix And Hulu
Dropping Gems On The Homies Like A Guru
Time To Practice What I Preach, Staying Sharp Like A Crease
Bake A Piece Or My Words Mean Doodoo
- Hook -
Mediocrity’s A Fear I Won’t Fall To The Terror
I See Greatness When I Look Into The Mirror
First Step, Take A Breath ‘For I Dig Where I Thought There Was Nothing Left
To Show My Friends The Definition Of A Winner
Mediocrity’s A Fear I Won’t Fall To The Terror
I See Greatness When I Look Into The Mirror
First Step, Take A Breath ‘For I Dig Where I Thought There Was Nothing Left
To Show My Kids The Definition Of A Winner
- Hook -
Kicked The Sugar And The Carbs Dropped 30 In A Quarter
Been Chillin A Few Months Now It’s Time To Go Harder
Little Exercise Daily, More Talks With My Lady
And Even The Nine To Five’s All Gravy
These The Things Some Rappers Be Understating
Keep Rapping About Your Duffle, But Ain’t You Tired Of Living In A Bubble?
I’ma Focus On The Message And The Bars, If You Don’t Feel It, It’s Cool
Cause I Probably Ain’t Tryna Do What You Do
So It’s Apples To Orange Peels In An Old Fashioned
The Old Passion Back With A New Lease On A Mansion
In A Zone, And My Bucket List Grown Like It’s Written On A Scroll
Or A Cvs Receipt For A Bottle Of Patron
You Can Hear It In The Tone That It’s Real
The Homie Told Me He Can Feel It Through The Phone, The Pandemic Got Us Home
I’m Tired Of Time Wasted,I’m Pushing My Bankroll To The Center
I’m All In, And I’m Betting On My Soul
- Hook -
Mediocrity’s A Fear I Won’t Fall To The Terror
I See Greatness When I Look Into The Mirror
First Step, Take A Breath ‘For I Dig Where I Thought There Was Nothing Left
To Show My Friends The Definition Of A Winner
Mediocrity’s A Fear I Won’t Fall To The Terror
I See Greatness When I Look Into The Mirror
First Step, Take A Breath ‘For I Dig Where I Thought There Was Nothing Left
To Show My Kids The Definition Of A Winner

Lyrics
----
Always Wanted To Be A Ninja
Or Scorpion Or Sub Zero, We Love Heroes
But People Get It Twist Like A Spiral
They Doing Wack Shit Like A Biggot Going Viral
It’s Like Your Whole Life, What You Cry Foe?
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?
You Choose To Follow Stats When Convenient,
But Refuse To Trust Facts When You’re Seeing It, To Me That’s An Idiot
Complaining How You’re City Get’s Treated Cause You Need Your Nails Did,
Hair Cut And Baby Sitter For Your Kid
I Mean School..I Know It’s Hard To Be A Teacher Slash Parent,
With A Face Mask And Shag Pushing Cuticles Back
Zoom Meeting Kids Class, Working Busting Your Ass
But You Fighting With Cashiers, Over Wearing A Mask?
But You Ain’t Tripping Off The Little Pay She Get To Deal With You
Probably Only Talking Shit Cause You Don’t Think She Will Hit You
Reek Havoc When Newton’s Third Law Is Enacted,
It’s Your Fault You Received The Equal Opposite Reaction
- Hook -
Don’t Know If Satan’s Got A Forked Tongue
But I Know The Face Of War Does
They Split Us Down The Middle, And Play Us Like A Fiddle
Then Force Us To Abort Love
Just Laying On The Fore Front
Praying To The Lord Above
Are We So Full Of Pride, Thinking God Is On Our Side
Of The Thing We Think We’re Sure Of
- Hook -
I Hate Having To Stay Home, For Anything Inessential Not Vital
Understand We All Under The Same Law,
Course The Truth’s Some Of Yall More Fortunate Privileged And Entitled
Man Nobody Wanna Wear A Damn Mask But It’s Shit More Outrageous
Killer Cops Walkin Free And Unfree Kids In Cages
The Discrepancy In Wealth, We Sick And We Need Help
You Stand At Your Soap Box Preaching Do It Yourself
You Didn’t , Your Boot Straps Pristine
While Some Are 4Th Generation Processed Through A Racist Machine
It’s Too Much That Need Fixing To Focus On Who’s Victim
I Just Had To Shed Light On Your Blatant Contradictions
-Bridge-
When The Eyes Are Closed, And Lies Are Sold
Then The Mind's Controlled, We Defy Our Own And The Fire Grows
Through The Highs And Lows, It's A Trying Goal
I Just Mind My Own And Align My Zone With A Higher Throne
- Hook -
Don’t Know If Satan’s Got A Forked Tongue
But I Know The Face Of War Does
They Split Us Down The Middle, And Play Us Like A Fiddle
Then Force Us To Abort Love
Just Laying On The Fore Front
Praying To The Lord Above
Are We So Full Of Pride, Thinking God Is On Our Side
Of The Thing We Think We’re Sure Of

Charlatan Theory

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

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
