{Hook: "The Pretender" - Foo Fighters sample}
Keep you in the dark you know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark and so it all began
{Verse 1: Buay Dubz}
Sometimes I feel I was born in the wrong era
Surrounded by hysteria and news reporting terror
So peep my prose and let's talk about the cons
They say life's a marathon now we watching out for bombs
Is it music that I'm making or fame that I'm chasing
They say God sees all but all I see is Satan
At a fraction of the speed of light my mind is steady racing
f** patient gimme Heaven on Earth cause I ain't waiting
What's a God to a heathen who don't believe in nada
And I don't trust snakes cause the Devil wears Prada
Finding Truth is pretty easy Babylon just made it harder
Don't Believe me? Look at what they did to Assata
Animal Pharmaceutics, Orwell couldn't predict this
Dare to speak the Truth? You might end up on the hit list
Keep you in the dark when they're making all the rules
It's kinda hard to be wise when you're fighting rich fools

Keep you in the dark you know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark and so it all began
{Verse 2: Buay Dubz}
You choose between iPod and Zune and call it freedom
Politicians talkin sh** but we don't even believe em
So I corrupt the youth with the Truth until we even
If you question your religion, they label you a heathen
Conformity's the norm like cold the new warm
Identity's gettin cloudy it's the calm before the storm
Do they understand? Or should I break it down for em?
Turned on the radio and thought "damn, I miss Lauryn"
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm starting to get the feelin
Now a days, you make a fool of yourself and sell a million
Do the blind see the stars? Or follow intuition?
Even Stevie Wonder will you about his own inner visions
There's a voice in your soul, you just refuse to listen
Trapped in the Matrix, can't even see the system
Executed with precision, reinforcing indecision
Making modern slaves, cause your mind is in a prison

Keep you in the dark you know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark and so it all began
{Verse 3: Buay Dubz}
Fell asleep watching Malcolm X and swore I had a dream
Visions of Martin Luther gettin' hit with laser beams
Crossin' the River Styx but I'm flowin' up-stream
Drugs Rule Everything Around Me...D.R.E.A.M
Maybe I should write a song about poppin' Molly
Maybe my name just might get poppin' like an Ollie
Should I flow like Kweli? Need a pardon (No Dolly)
f** droppin' single bombs just hit em with a volly
I'm haunted by nightmares of the past status quo
The ghost of J. Hoover and COINTELPRO
Wire tappin' Fred Hampton just waitin' on the go
To kick in the door and leave his body leakin on the floor
Facin' fiscal cliffs and it's lookin' real steep
Waterfalls..TLC..I guess we gotta creep
A different breed..I'm bout to hit em real deep
To go to sleep, I count wolves you count sheep

Keep you in the dark you know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark and so it all began
