Jake Tracey - The Declaration lyrics

[Verse] Ladies and gentleman, listen to what you’re about to hear A reflection, a recollection of all my doubts and fears American Society is corrupted, peace interrupted Racism and violence, our humanity is f**ing disrupted We live in a simple, ridiculous, f**ed up generation Excuse my honesty; it’s all part of my reputation Speak up, and stand up, this is your emancipation The declaration of my independence, here’s a demonstration I live the American Dream Jay Gatsby, Tom and Daisy My vision’s hazy, people use me, but it doesn’t phase me Haters amaze me, it’s sick the way they try to tame me Put me down, deem me a clown, but why should you blame me? I’m at the top of the pinnacle, the lyrical miracle, speaking out spirituals Don’t try to ridicule me, hysterical Only human, human rights, f** the separation Here is my statement, my announcement, my declaration Same boy from Austin, Texas all the way to San Diego They used to build me up and crash me down like a box of Legos I’m not the fool, I’m too cool to be underestimated Despite the controversy of how many boys and girls I’ve dated I advocate equality, not inequality f** the math, cause 1 plus 1 equals 2, and that’s how it should be Male or female, we all unite in the unity That’s why we’re America, but no one will ever listen to me I bring truth to my songs since Under Construction After my third album, life felt like the greatest destruction Mentally trapped, the metaphorical abduction Rejected, neglected, devoid of seduction I’ve lived my life in a crazy way Skin cuts, tightropes, suicidal cabaret A co*ktail of Valium and Tylenol I had taken the fall, and no one to call Before I came back up, I blamed the industry For getting the best of me, using up all of my energy f**ed up producers ignoring my creativity Lawsuits, decreasing sales, it impacted me 2-year hiatus, petitions and debates On whether I should come back and face the hate Created this album almost 2 years late But I’m back with a vengeance, and I’m sure you’ll relate I was born to conquer, never born to fail But life is nothing but a fairy tale You reap what you sow, you get what you give I got what I wanted, a longer chance to live Yeah, I’m sure you’ll know who I really am When these next 19 songs are on your stereo, you’ll understand I don’t expect any superior expectations Just listen to the truth, this is my declaration [Chorus] Rise up, speak out Tell these motherf**ers what it’s all about Act up, lash out f** the haters, show ‘em we don’t play around This is the declaration Whoa oh oh Wave your hands up high if you’re ready for this ride Say, whoa oh oh Wave your hands up high if you’re ready for this ride Yeah
