[Intro]
I am the tree that stood by and witnessed it all
I stand by omerta and take my fall
I am the tree that stood by and witnessed it all
I stand by omerta and take my fall
[Verse 1]
Eh yo,Babylon crumbled made way for anarchy
Alexander went by and was reminded of his mortality
The mongols came through charging with their cavalry
He who has the power must rule the roost
Rest is reduced they say even Adam was seduced
The cardholder is the overseer since the dawn of time
And I ain't satisfied, its true, working no a**embly line
Gandhi labelled the father the truth couldn't be farther
Deceived by our own people reality couldn't be harder
I lived through it all my skin is my armor
Dancing with d**h like a snake charmer
I shunned the good life but retained my honor
Debating myself would I trade it for the right amount of dollars
In this age of isms screw capitalism its all about individualism
If your core don't match the status quo than its prison
But every time a great falls another has risen
[Chorus - auto tuned]
Every time a great falls another has arisen
[Chorus - Ghost Status]
Every time a great falls another has arisen
I stay conscious and say f** the system
I witnessed it all n ill take my fall
Still, f** the system
[Verse 2]
Back to the motherland, everythings changed and not for the better
Sittin in the bin I used wait for a letter
I couldn't enjoy breeze no uh no pleasant weather
Now am on road sharp as a sword
Wind in my hair the accelerator gets floored
That's life moving on as the wise get ignored
The irony of life you only live the life you can afford
They say I was misguided, but that's the only option life provided
2014 and we still f**ing divided
Open a box of shells n get excited
Take back the prisons mother f** the system
My homies I miss them and for them mother f** the system
3 and a half years I gave to the prison
I'm a victim of this life but nobody'll listen
Absolute power corrupts absolutely that's a given
In this life nobody's forgiven, n u die fast if u a chicken
Great ambition I ain't no magician but I play my position
More than a musician witness my transition
Witness my vision cuz another great has arisen
Suffering moulds greatness, I can't fake this
[Auto tuned]
Nope every time a great falls another has arisen
[Ghost Status]
Suffering moulds greatness, I can't fake this
[Chorus]
Every time a great falls another has arisen
I stay conscious and say f** the system
I witnessed it all n ill take my fall
Still, f** the system
