NewDerseyBeats - The Influence of Culture lyrics

[Intro/Chorus] Influenced by culture/ Society a vulture/ Looking down on me/ With beady eyes/ Is he a sculpture/ Or just dead meat/ From the skies/ He's so stand still/ Easy k**/ How this boy gonna say he for real?/ [Verse 1] How this boy gonna say that he for real doe/ Question every turn, question every deal/ Sometimes you just gotta let the fire burn/ Reinvent the wheel/ Take what you've earned/ And learn to never kneel/ Peel back the layers/ Life is but an onion/ Better in that out/ Opposite of shrek belchin'/ Sun in my eyes/ I invite clear skies/ But sometimes it's gotta rain/ Even god cries, the pain unbearable/ A world so terrible, and yet it's a miracle/ Spiritual am I, so get with the times/ Life is but a climb, inside your own mind/ Never sure what you're gonna find/ Brain, heart, spirit, intertwined/ Between life and d**h, I walk the line/ f** ace of base, I saw the sign/ And it opened up my eyes/ [Chorus] Influenced by culture/ Society a vulture/ Looking down on me/ With beady eyes/ Is he a sculpture/ Or just dead meat/ From the skies/ He's so stand still/ Easy k**/ How this boy gonna say he for real?/ Stand still/ Easy k**/ How this boy gonna say he for real?/ [Verse 2] Roll with the punches, reciprocate the energy/ Full of corruption is the 21st century/ Destruction imminent/ Different is every citizen/ Each of us an instrument/ We have a part to play/ Save the day we must/ In humanity I trust/ Can vanity be tossed off the planet/ A plea of insanity, ya boy feel manic/ On the cusp of panic/ We must pull together/ We must help each other/ Time our father/ Nature our mother/ Years and acres unreachable/ A universe with an unforeseeable future/ Sooner or later/ We need to rise up/ Become our own savior/ And give these lies up/ May the odds forever be in our favor/ Self-creator, we can be our own maker/ Cause this world has never seemed faker/ [Chorus] Influenced by culture/ Society a vulture/ Looking down on me/ With beady eyes/ Is he a sculpture/ Or just dead meat/ From the skies/ He's so stand still/ Easy k**/ How this boy gonna say he for real?/ Stand still/ Easy k**/ How this boy gonna say he for real?/ [Verse 3] The message is clear, lesson learned/ None of us want to sit and see our home burned/ It's our turn to keep the earth turning/ Teach how to teach, and keep on learning/ Knowledge is power, the truth is power/ That will be true until the very last hour/ On this god forsaken piece of rock/ All we can do is let the clock tick/ It's what we decide that makes it worth it/ Will we run and hide or face our fears/ The years to come will tell/ We fell prey to society/ But all that can change/ In a matter of minutes/ Nothing to lose/ So much to gain/ So let's get to work/ While we still have the time to finish what we started/ [Outro] Stand still/ Easy k**/ How this boy gonna say he for real?/
