Was I born to die or was I born to live
Cuz growing up they should have warned the kids
We never asked for our purpose to be just workin'
I hate society I want to go berserk and
I see people trapped inside technology
They have no clue with few people acknowledging
I'm on an odyssey subconsciously and honestly to free all of the colonies
As the savior through this prophecy
I'm not a prodigy so I work harder
Taking baby steps trynna go farther
Looking down at my reflection straight through the water
It's either get rich or die as a pauper
I hate the visionaries that built the structure that we stand on
The same structure where people slipped, but we ran on
Some things fall through on whatever we planned on
We must obey when ever they put demand on
I mean it worries me I may not be able to hold currency
Go nowhere with an earned degree
The flaws of life have been burned in me
18 years held captive in the school system
Teaching you it's the only way to succeed that's fools wisdom
They don't accomdate to everybody's learning styles
But grade us in the same way and our marks are kept on file
It's been a while since I haven't worried about tomorrow
I never want to borrow or be livin' in sorrow
They told me the world is for the taking
But you're judged on how much that you're making
I wonder why I keep waking
Growing older my bodies aching
From responsibility I never asked for it
I want to travel the globe and gets stamps in my pa**port
Never take the school bus just for transport
I'm doing nothing starboard and I don't have much port
See I'm not sorry because this will be abrupt
f** any and everybody to those who are corrupt
You ran out of time? Then you ran out of luck
They cut your wings to fly then you're a sitting duck
I've had enough, why can't we be equal
If we had a past life what would be our prequel?
They say history repeats it's self then that's a sequel
The love we have is moving backwards and that's evil
I want to share the gift of giving
But in some places all they have is the gift of living
With this new world order ignoring the third world horrors
They say there's a limit to what they can do, but they haven't reached the borders
If they say it takes time can't we click fast forward
I want change not nickels
We can effect the world with a ripple
The gla** is half full, it can't spill a little
They told me to break a leg, if it causes change I'll stay crippled
