Nick Vig - Limitless lyrics

[Intro: Carlie Chaplin The Great Dictator Speech] Greed has poisoned men's souls Has barricaded the world with hate Has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want Our knowledge has made us cynical Our cleverness hard and unkind We think too much, and feel too little More than machinery, we need humanity More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness Without these qualities life will be violent And all will be lost Soldiers, don't give yourselves to brutes Men who despise you, enslave you Who regiment your lives Tell you what to do, what to think, and what to feel Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men Machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts You are not machines You are not cattle You are men In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke it is written “The kingdom of God is within man” Not one man, nor a group of men, but in all men In you, you the people You the people have the power The power to create machines The power to create happiness You the people have the power [Verse 1: Nick Vig] They always tell me never, never, never let the sky limit you Get what you deserve but don't let those highs finish you Just a poet with a dream just so heroic though it seems All those things that never matted always trying to come between Oh but I'm past that, oh yeah yeah but I'm past that Oh baby girl bring that a** back We on that set thats the model Recreate your own path watch the other people follow I bit off more than I could swallow Only because I'm hungry and my stomach hollow Can you blame me? I've been on my grind nine to nine am I crazy? No, I just think this music sh** could save me i'm gone boy [Hook: Freshlyground] Would you recognize it's a need I've been fighting for so long? Would you recognize it's a hunger only you can fill? What do I do with all these feelings warming me up inside? What do I do with all these precious hours dreaming of you at night? Would you recognize it's a need I've been fighting for so long? Would you recognize it's a hunger only you can fill? Ohhhh, ohh, ohh [Verse 2: Nick Vig] 1999 was the year that I started Started writed poems not knowing what to call it Five years later went and got my first phone A Blackberry filled up with hoes from my home Feeling all alone so I wrote my first song No one ever cared so I did it on my own But now that I'm grown I've excelled I've prevailed Now everyone bail cause I'm living it for real I'm limitless I feel like a dog I told my brother he could quit when I'm on Word is gone I'm a inspiration to many My pen is never empty I could never be selfish The lord would never let me (he would never let me, yeah) (limitless) [Outro: Freshlyground & Carlie Chaplin The Great Dictator Speech] Cause I'd like to call you sometime I'd like you to need me one time Ohhhh, ohhh, ohhh In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke it is written “The kingdom of God is within man” Not one man, nor a group of men, but in all men In you, you the people You the people have the power The power to create machines The power to create happiness You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful To make this life a wonderful adventure Then in the name of democracy Let us use that power
