Gripp - Just the Type lyrics

[Verse: Gripp] I'm a cross between a skeptic and a dreamer, eclectic demeanor To step and check a believer. Yes, I'm a leader My life makes excellent theater, doesn't it? Come and see the show Come hear the dialog my demons wrote. Hear me speak in rote About the fallacies, an*logies, maladies While the child in me floats, the adult is cutting down a tree Tryin'a grow into a man I could be proud to be But I concede: that feat often seems out of reach 'Cos we were sound asleep, bred to be credulous But we've long since found the key, so now we're sent to be messengers Yes, it's just a system of thought; we're breaking it down It just so happens to slaughter your most sacred of cows No gods, no monsters, no aliens. We're taking our vows Until they show us some evidence, we ain't gonna bow Ain't gonna break in half for them. No way. We'll just laugh at them On our way coming after them, every day just attacking them Wait! It's not that simple, man. We're fighting the same fights And writing the same plights of life under stage lights Like day and night; is it fiction or fact? Is it erudite diction or just kicking a track? 'Cos I feel like my psyche is ripping in half 'cos I'm Marshall in my daily life and Gripp when I rap And though they both share perspective they've been fighting to get Neither one has achieved any enlightenment yet So we'll take this first frightening step together, excited and tense Into whatever this writer invents Catch sight of the light at the end. The might of the pen guides They're kicking immense lies tryin'a defend crimes But f** that, man. We're tryin'a transcend time f** that, man, we're trying to invent minds Master the universe, get deeply involved And invested in the direction that our species evolves Before I die, I want robotic pieces installed I'd rather rely on that than belief in a god The interface between mind and machine, engineered cells And nanobots intertwined with our genes fighting disease I know it seems esoteric now, but you've gotta find the walls Before you tear 'em down. Got the plan to carry out We're on the edge of a cliff, standing tough So close your eyes, take my hand and jump Jump!
