D.Ford - Levels lyrics

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
