Leaf Dog - Knowledge lyrics

[BVA] I've seen a lot of bullsh**, most of it wised me up Clowns being foolish, most of them hyped as f** We need to get clever or we'll just turn to piles of dust That's meaning lost, feeling lost, haven't left no tags to buff The more you see, the more bleak it can be getting Knowledge is power that's right, but it can do your f**in' head in Like you see them failing and you know But you couldn't tell them cause they're too deep to listen Even if you started yelling, "Wake up!" f** a PhD Just stick to studying surroundings, dudes actions, reactions, we're judging it Learn to avoid bad attention, but catch a good mention If it's gonna give your name some suspension I wanna be coming out on top and I don't mean the big house I mean more nouse than what my brain concocts I lose and regain the plot, just to see the other side of things We're training in life and expanding what our mind can dream [Fliptrix] Certain people think they know it all, they don't know themselves Knowledge is a powerful thing, worth more than wealth Turn the pages of a book, encapsulate the words that spell Store it in my mind and use it when the situation's dealt, many never listen well They lost their faith residing by the sides of life's wishing well Just because it's written down, it ain't the truth The paper sales, I read between the lines The bullsh** crimes and the kiss and tell Looking at the bigger picture, man it's like they framed themselves We need to put aside our differences, confide in life itself Defining what is right and what is hell What gives us the right to put another life inside a cell Who am I to write these lines and put them in your mind to melt? That I couldn't figure out but figured that I might as well Sciences holds the truthful facts, mysteries of life for real The things to learn are limitless, survival is the deepest sk** People hold the knowledge, like the prophets grow weed at will [Leaf Dog] A dreamer looks out the window, I look inside myself Knowledge is worth more than any amount of wealth My mental health is tested by the d** I've ingested I need to cut it out and think of time I've invested My destinies manifested the man I am In my youth I couldn't count past the fingers on my hand It was hard to understand anything that they told me Then music opened my mind and started to mould me It showed me how to step out the box I was confined in The new mission for the Leaf, that fate rea**igned him The truth's there, it ain't hiding, f** what they're deeming us It doesn't take a genius to see the lies they're feedin' us Nobody's life is meaningless, the mind is a powerful thing Rule your own world, standing in the tower as king Spread your wings and hear what the owl speaks Cause the knowledge is there to take like WikiLeaks [Verb T] See, there's a major problem and that's lack of understanding People out for self and always acting underhanded People preach, otherwise they're quick to pa** judgement Generalize, stereotype and never look for substance House and car, that's a symbol of success I don't want to spend my life sitting at a desk Just to get what I don't need, livin' with regret Peace to all the hard workers, though I mean no disrespect I'm just sayin', you're not happy? Don't feel trapped in it Use your mind, achieve, listen to me, that is some true sh** Build, create, you're not useless Rally up the troops and then start a new movement Of any type, just watch how you spend your time Many s**ed in by the screen, ma** genocide of the mind Now that's why I gotta pen and rhyme Venom like spits, still fresh like lemon lime
