[Hook: Brandon Carter]
What you gon' do in your sleep?
What you gon' do if awake?
Are you aware of what's happenin'?
Have you touched basis with reality?
I hope and pray we stay safe
I hope we wake the next day
I know what's real and what's not
There is fate, there is faith
There's nothin' much I can say
[Hook continued: Malia Carter] (x4)
Oh, we're stuck in reality
[Verse 1]
What's this place?
What's this world that we've come to?
If we can't live by its guidelines
Then what's the point of rules
You need to know that the time you got's not long
You just wasted your time—it's gone
And I mean, you're not listening—you're gone
Indeed you ain't built for this—all 'long
I ain't gon' trip, with this—headstrong
What's it to a murderer who tries to change up
But had the audacity to take one?
They took part of us, and'll never make up everything they've costed 'em in a blink of an eye
Everybody's fighting for a piece of the pie
A gist of the prize, this world is a lie
Pent up by all the armory, that's draped wit' our irony
Spent up, can't win the lottery, some kids are starving see
It's all in stereo: trends brainwashing the
Radio, same scenario
Take the good and then laugh, push that to back
Put bad in, the mast majority's rap?
We work when we young, to relax when we're old?
This is a free country, yet everything's sold
Bills, fines, mortgages so what do we own?
People born with a silver-spoon in their throat
The rest scratch and claw to kick you off of your throne
I think that term "real" is extinct, why?
Look around and what ya see, huh?
You awake? Sink it in, ahh!
No I do not feel at home, who's those people next door?
Cannot find peace and quiet, to think or blink, nah
These are hittin' words, that'll knock out
You're playin' yourself when you're gamblin'
You better back out!
We ain't gettin' anywhere with violence
Put your guns down!
Don't buy into d**h
Put that cigar down!
Don't drink another bottle
Before you pa** out!
If you want to end it that way, then that's a fast route
If your life's worth the while, then you can cash out
Yeah, it's our finality, normality
Had to be this way, cause are stuck in reality!

Oh, we're stuck in reality
[Verse 2]
Can you look me in the face, and tell me what you did?
Wish you could take it all back, but this place is surreal
So real!
We're all cornered in the likes of a cell
Cannot escape from this prison
Cannot escape from the jail
You can't trust anybody, so seems we'll never make bail
I don't know why we think that life is a game
Guess you, want to reach the highest level of pain
The people that got a smile on their
Face
Are the same people wearing a mask, and pyschopathically feint
Catastrophically indulged with no sight of
Restraints
Gain the enjoyment when you blown out ya
Brains
I don't know what else could I rant
About
Without starting fires, with need to stomp it
Out
If you're a snitch, most would say to shut your
Mouth
But, it's freedom of speech, and I say this whole world's
Going down
By our self-destruction, and the actions we make
Now
Reality's what we live in right? But I bet some are
In doubt
I'm down to teach, but sounding like I'm bound to
Preach
I'm not gonna say much more, I'm really at the
Max
Truly everything is intact, this is exactly the place we live in
In fact
Perhaps, maybe if you would've stayed on
Track
Then maybe you wouldn't fall to these amount of
Laps
Don't let the fear of what could happen make nothing happen
Don't plan a future with someone with no future plans
Yeah, congratulations you're awake to reality
(Welcome to the edge of reality)
