[Verse 1] Contemplating the breadth of the situation at hand The nature of life and the machinations of man All that precedes me, led to me being me And me I'm vehemently in fascination of all that I scan Of all that I see, of all that I'm feeling Before there was a me I immediately came into being My growth progressed, thoughts coalesce Taught to process the message of my own flesh My own mind, my own will They say that wills free I feel that often it's my feelings that'll will me The decisions that I make are a production of the visions I retain The visions in ma brain, the images ingrained By the explicit and implicit situations that came as a youth Came as I grew, changing the lens of perception that I view Perfection isn't true The core formation of your being, who you be you cannot choose This feeling of existing is the briefest interlude To live appeasing imposition or to lead another route Who, as a child aspires to be evil? The evil's in the wild The wild is the world, the world is the people The people are the parts of the world that they have observed. Word [Hook] I could be nobody but I From the dust to the sky From my dawn to my dusk when I die [Verse 2] Ruminating on the human nature I knew of hatred as I grew and saw the proof of danger History is written by the winners, and their victories are never given Viciously they're taken from the living Empires built on suffering Crushed under the heel of another government Ages come and they go but atrocities are still relevant Peace isn't possible, power produces arrogance Poverty's part of their plan Poverty keeps the authority in the palm of their hand Horrors are nothing if they happen in another land Or in some cases as long as its just another man Look at the motherland Draw lines in the sand, sell a lie to a man Divide and terrorise so they could utilise what he had Generations later you can see the legacy of discrimination These nations left in ruination So many are subconsciously humiliated A complex of inferiority born out of familiarity with the bottom while seeing people make it Chains in the mind undermining what people fought to break, its Troubling, and propagated by those that pose as a thug and then Sell their soul for a goal, your gold is irrelevant Sell their soul for a goal, your gold is irrelevant, gold is irrelevant [Hook]
