[Verse 1: Reks] Mine eyes seen the coming of seduction Discussing who to trust in the clutch and Nobody worthy in the world we know Burning them ashes past fingertips The final drips in a gla** I sip The inhibition of cla** is split The have and have not, the have not rot The haves benefit 'til we drop Picking crops of cotton and then forgotten On blocks with sounds of gun shots Alarm clocks, how does it stop? Limited option, liberty or d**h Branded the flesh like he was cattle We're equivalent, just imagination babble This generation lacks True knowledge of how the past has trapped you With psychological la**os over Adam's apples Soldiers blast through fitted caps To wear them glory flags do not democracy make Militant a**hole I rap so my mind's free And read to feed my seeds Believe the lesson was heard, the third eye sees [Hook x2: Reks] f** what you heard, forget what you knew Its time to unlearn, system reboot Telling you the truth, or is it lies Claiming its the truth, but are they lies?
