Silence is what we all need for a minute Dyin' is what we want to avoid while we're livin' Life and tryin' to make some noise The screams sort of seem like we're cryin' Reaching towards our dreams, I offer an exhausted sigh And rhymin' keeps the posture of my back in fair condition But why in the world do I do this music when so few people listen? Climbin' a mountain that might eventually crumble It's a bumpy ride into that light side of life where no one goes Violence saturates our surroundings, my heart is pounding I am one of the strong that noticed the sirens sounding Strivin' to wake you up, so we can grow to maturity While we're all buyin' the government's repent from social security Wine and cigarettes promote good life, bad health and tax I am one of the strong, but also in the same trap Exercisin' my brain Realizin' that pain will be arrivin' If I dive into the cesspool of my mind So I'm rewindin' the recorded version of my conscience repeatedly Not easily blinded Nor do I find it hard to ignore you weakling's weep I shine with this terrific, twisted piece of metal Strangely changing climate as they increase the level I said I wouldn't sign sh**, cause I don't want to meet the devil But I lost my mind, and I'm tryin' to find it in the dimension of space Between ba** and treble Shattered is my existence, in so many pieces I can't count Chatter is the substance that comes from most people's mouth Matter is what you don't to me, he don't to she, we don't to we But hopefully we can gather together and figure out what life's about Patterns of emotion change shape from different situations Lanterns shed light on the dark side of imagination Scattered is good and evil, through various people and areas of the ego But we know we can be peaceful with the right participation Now batters, stay behind the base and get ready for the pitch Rappers mold their soul into plastic and get filthy rich The ladder to paradise is infested with parasites And if you don't ride in the carriage right, you would swear that life's a b**h [Refrain x6] Nothing gets you nowhere But everything gets you somewhere One pair of shoes is great compared to two feet tryin' to run bare
