Khalil The Goat - The Root lyrics

[Hook: Vision] It's all about spreading that knowledge Evolving the conscience Money come and money go We tied to this cycle, to be honest, sh** is getting old Trying to find heaven on earth But I'm shook, blinded by whatever I earn [Verse 1: Vision] Better yet what I don't, little check really won't Make no difference, sh** it feel like it do We don't wanna be senseless, but we cents-less Inner-peace what we need to pursue So lost it seems we in need of some prophets Leave it to me to stop the nonsense Make some change, progress pray it rains Can't stand for this weather, I got no option Gotta eat, sh** can't stay the same Panhandling, never blinded by objects Want a lot of cheese, it's a trap we stay enslaved Gotta change our ways, f** staying stagnant Day-to-day chasing pay leaves you with sadness We boxed and it's tragic, it's toxic, it's madness We locked in our minds, we don't find sh** True gold mine, you will never find it In your soul, hides the light man In your soul, hides the light man [Verse 2: Khalil The Goat] We're k**ing ourselves for individual wealth, guess In a sense, we're innocent to this subliminal d**h, stress In to the sinning because deliverance ain't giving us help In the ghetto, all we know is to focus solely on the dough Chase additional checks, we want to claim That we made it our self, when gaining our wealth It's such a shame how this pain and fame Is draining our health, we're hanging ourselves Over the things that we hang in our shelves No communication in this generation Nowadays, people anxious so they hang with themselves Stay in a shell, depressed as hell, moving at the pace of a snail Nowadays, we're all self-conscious, judging ourselves Based off of snapchats and double taps Rather than interact, we put on an inner-act On social media as if we're living that What am I getting at? [Khalil The Goat] Touch-screens making us lose touch, we need to get it back It's instrumental we look at our production and get on track Such an abysmal birth with minimal worth Nowadays we even sin in church Living like we won't soon be in a hearse, in the dirt, It's a curse [Vision] Prisoner, of our own mind Listen here, the real gold mine lie inside But time and time again, I try to find amends With no insight and sh** because this cycle is Endless, senseless [Khalil The Goat] Pretentious materialistic friendships, capitalistic oppression Of the weak some speak the meek shall inherit the streets I see the beast next to Jesus, extemporaneous exegesis Everyday examples of our extinction [Spoken Word: Khalil The Goat] Money is the root of all evil but also the pursuit of our people So who's really evil? The mind is feeble and leads people to believe that this piece of green is all that they need to find peace and be equal Idealistically, the peace we seek Should be much deeper than what they feed you Money is the foundation of the nation and every ancient civilization so we're a slave to industrialization and anticipation of money-making Because of this money, we do things we're not supposed to Not saying money isn't important, it's something we all go through Just control the money and don't let it control you [Hook: Both] It's all about spreading that knowledge Evolving the conscience Money come and money go We tied to this cycle, to be honest, sh** is getting old Trying to find heaven on earth But I'm shook, blinded by whatever I earn [Outro: Both] Mo' money we come across, mo' problems we see We climbing for the mountain top that we will never reach No matter how much that we get, it ain't enough It seems, the more we depend on this money The less that we're free
