[Intro]
Y-U-N-G ... T-E-E-Z ... dash R ... Yung Teez-R
[1st Verse]
Right when I was picking up the pieces I fell apart again
Even got back to the point of wanting her to be a part again
But even then I knew she'd probably wanna part again;
Least I can be sure no one gon' ever break my heart again
k**ed all emotion, these flows deep - no ocean
Sick of all the fakeness, but I ain't got the potion
Debating these movements: they made me the motion
Vanity my sanity, gotta rub it in like lotion
Salt in the wounds, I ought to tune/auto-tune out the pain
It's like they knocked my teeth out, self-consciousness I must retain
Brace myself for a fight, I got respect I must regain
People playing mind tricks, trying to steal the magic in my brain
Man, Life always curses me when I'm counting my blessings
Rap game's like salad so I'm just addressing
For heaven's sake I just can't let hell erupt
So I guess I gotta make the system self-destruct!
Uh, system self-destruct!
Uh, system self-destruct!
Uhuh, system self-destruct!
Yeah, system self-destruct!
[2nd Verse]
Having seen some of my friends turn into enemies
Things that go on behind my back, I just pretend that I never see
So ironically, they blind to the fact that I know everything that's going on
'Bout to go in on, some real sh**, time running out, lemme spill quick
Damn! I look in the mirror, see like six different n***as
Don't even know myself too well, so even if you knew me you would have never figured
I was 'bout to drown myself in my flows, and those characters I ain't know
Had me losing sight of myself, couldn't even recognise the old, me
Didn't help that all around, only thing I saw - phonies
Disguised themselves as my homies, but this boy was next to alone, he
Knows that more that anybody else, got a few people he trust
Got a few people he love, but they were overshadowed by lusts
From those demons he's had to face, he was hard to deem in any state
Confusing Win City with Sin City, guess it's why he's lost in his pain
Dang! Tribulations made him corrupt
On a mission to make the system self-destruct!
[Bridge]
*STOP! Okay now bring it back.*
The protocol for System Overload is resistance
Or, resilience plus persistence
If you are in search of a**istance, which remains consistent
You can find it in these bars ...
Reach for the stars, and continue to be on the rise
And keep your eyes, ever-focused on the prize
You'll realise Life tries to break us down with real lies
And when you do, after that, the world is ours ...
After that, the world is ours ... (x4)
This world is ours for the taking! (x4)
For the taking, for the taking, this world is ours for the taking! (x2)
