[Intro] Y-U-N-G ... T-E-E-Z ... dash R ... Yung Teez-R [1st Verse] Right when I was picking up the pieces I fell apart again Even got back to the point of wanting her to be a part again But even then I knew she'd probably wanna part again; Least I can be sure no one gon' ever break my heart again k**ed all emotion, these flows deep - no ocean Sick of all the fakeness, but I ain't got the potion Debating these movements: they made me the motion Vanity my sanity, gotta rub it in like lotion Salt in the wounds, I ought to tune/auto-tune out the pain It's like they knocked my teeth out, self-consciousness I must retain Brace myself for a fight, I got respect I must regain People playing mind tricks, trying to steal the magic in my brain Man, Life always curses me when I'm counting my blessings Rap game's like salad so I'm just addressing For heaven's sake I just can't let hell erupt So I guess I gotta make the system self-destruct! Uh, system self-destruct! Uh, system self-destruct! Uhuh, system self-destruct! Yeah, system self-destruct! [2nd Verse] Having seen some of my friends turn into enemies Things that go on behind my back, I just pretend that I never see So ironically, they blind to the fact that I know everything that's going on 'Bout to go in on, some real sh**, time running out, lemme spill quick Damn! I look in the mirror, see like six different n***as Don't even know myself too well, so even if you knew me you would have never figured I was 'bout to drown myself in my flows, and those characters I ain't know Had me losing sight of myself, couldn't even recognise the old, me Didn't help that all around, only thing I saw - phonies Disguised themselves as my homies, but this boy was next to alone, he Knows that more that anybody else, got a few people he trust Got a few people he love, but they were overshadowed by lusts From those demons he's had to face, he was hard to deem in any state Confusing Win City with Sin City, guess it's why he's lost in his pain Dang! Tribulations made him corrupt On a mission to make the system self-destruct! [Bridge] *STOP! Okay now bring it back.* The protocol for System Overload is resistance Or, resilience plus persistence If you are in search of a**istance, which remains consistent You can find it in these bars ... Reach for the stars, and continue to be on the rise And keep your eyes, ever-focused on the prize You'll realise Life tries to break us down with real lies And when you do, after that, the world is ours ... After that, the world is ours ... (x4) This world is ours for the taking! (x4) For the taking, for the taking, this world is ours for the taking! (x2)
