[Intro/Hook: Jesse Hughes & Monk]
I ask
That you would give me my peace of mind
I ask
That you would give me my peace of mind
I ask
That you would give me my peace of mind
Before
I go and give you a piece of mine
[Verse 1: Jesse Hughes]
Here this prophecy, remember all the words within
What I speak is truth, I'm trying to help who's born of sin
Rumors about war and famine, now the time's at hand
The seal is broken and it's time for the end to begin
False prophets who profit off the name of divine
The devil roams across the Earth, blind lead the blind
Seven trumpets sound releasing wrath upon deceitful
They never thought their selfish greed would lead to something lethal
The wicked's stricken the devil gaining the roots of all evil
They're trying to get into heaven, start stabbing camels with needles
We've all got crosses to bear, and I know that I'm bearing mine
Lord, forgive me for sinning. Just need some peace in my mind
I'm trying to conquer insanity
Propaganda has branded me
When the media slandered me
And they say that I'm damned to see
Penitentiary's clamps on me
I was given an amnesty
Cause I never did plan to see
Letting them live their fantasy
I knew you'd make a way for me not to be a statistic
But carrying on my mission
To be what I had envisioned
And using all of my blessings
To spread a positive message
And try to change the perceptions that they've been taught to believe
They think they know the way, but all of their thoughts been deceived
They think they're going to be saved, but they're too lost in the greed
Money and materials, they're taught to revere
You better change your ways, the end is near
Here this prophecy, remember all the words within
What I speak is truth, I'm trying to help who's born of sin
Rumors about war and famine, now the time's at hand
The seal is broken and it's time for the end to begin
False prophets who profit off the name of divine
The devil roams across the Earth, blind lead the blind
Seven trumpets sound releasing wrath upon deceitful
They never thought their selfish greed would lead to something lethal
[Verse 2: Monk]
I have a brother
I tattoo lyrics to papyrus reeds so he may read a blueprint to best use his lumber
I pray that hatred don't wake in my meditation
But if faced with an indignation, it raises exhumed from slumber
Asunder rips the other grips seized from your realities
Battle teasing the poor like they ate the chips when they're down
You're afforded being ruthless when profiting off of gibberish
Sounding off like you're toothless which leaves you lacking a crown
And to all of their daughters spawned drawn back when they see him walking
Their heads so high in the sky sometimes I wish they would drown
Call him a misfit cause they witnessed his epidermis is different
And now he's distant and go ballistic his true words can't come out
Cause if he's anything like me
He'll dig his front teeth into his bottom lip and tongue until his jawline's perforated
They would try to tear out all of the values that bind him
But McLean men and opinions are not as easily separated
Blood oath to seeing truth liquifying the gene pool
And with these rules we've designated speakers who have featured the message
"Do not cling to your anger, but let it go."
Well I've heeded, cause now that I'm angry I'll let it go
Blasting off to the confused putting pieces to the puzzled
And muzzling the malarky subconsciously been embezzled
They're treating knowledge like contraband
And what's worse is their hierarchy would fall if my people could learn to stand
I have a brother
I tattoo my wits to papyrus reeds so he can keep his iris on the future
I watch his progress like I'm Horus or God
I pray he frames no belief to spare his wisdom, his rod
To fight a system that a**ist him in turning his life over
Though we stay clutch in a game that plays rough
A victory that's sought with no violence seem low odds
But all we need is our mind, I promise you that's enough
[Outro/Hook: Monk & Jesse Hughes]
