lyrics

Hidden behind shadows of smiles
corrosive viles of hatred
dialed up to the nth degree
the greed it bends psyches
to fit this for pretend no ascend
go and fend for your own health
advice ascribed upon a cave wall from past fallen
civilizations that made their own hell
possible optical illusion
except not really this is reality
and its unfathomably eff'd
AYO i'm diving into glowing waters
holding one breath
thinking mother nature's divine
though destructive when stressed
and as of late it has been pressed
pressed for cash and juiced that drives us fast
into oblivion
humans volunteered to be the devil's minions
walking thin lines of sanity like Palestinians
the shadows that's hiding dead bodies
don't show up late to the colonizing party
yo! the choice is yours for the making
things take their course be awake when
it comes aware of the outcomes
the line between liberator and enslaver
is drawn on American paper
so who's the future's landscaper?
i'm talking revolution!
new constitutions!
no borders! human rights!
any takers?
or will you eat the cake huh?
will you take the bate huh?
stand around debating the merits
while they over-take us
i'm sayin
i got this Suri DNA in my veins thus
i find i got a strange lust to liberate us
i got this Suri DNA in my veins thus
i got a strange lust to liberate us
'cause the shadows is hiding oh so much
yeah
cause the shadows is hiding so so much
yeah
