Verse 1:
Some of the kind of constant backwards thinking crap applied frequently, is how the laws of my nation aint administered equally// case by case racists on a day to day basis, prejudging your sentence pending monetary status// practicing immorality and preaching false statements, saying "life is sacred but the state reserves the right to take it" what chu (do you) think I'm stupid? Think again because I can't a afford to fall, victim to a system that digests you in a court of law// and I'll be damned be for I pledge allegiance to those gluttonous elitists, I shrug it off as them being facetious// you could call me anti-patriotic, that shit wouldn't bother me, my ancestors were kidnapped and I don't support hypocrisy// Cause if you lie enough eventually I'll tune you out, so it's a mystery to me why politicians run they('re) mouth// got me feeling like what's the point of voter registration, when 3 comma conglomerates control our legislation// I aint ranting, I need some help to change the situation so I hid some truth between the groves of the wax rotation// fuck ranting, I need some help to change the situation so I hid some truth between the groves of the wax rotation//
chorus: let's stop with the pretentiousness and all the second guessing, its time to use this art for more than merely self-expression// I'm putting major aspects of the way we live in question cause its claimed they uphold virtues that were never really present...(repeat)
Verse 2:
Sometimes it seems like interaction is molded to fit a standard, that decimates our open nature like Mayans to Spaniards// persona non Grata cloaked in artificiality striving to find the real by acting ill but that's a fallacy// bitches condemn dishonesty but yet stay disingenuous, and wonder why this social ignorance remains continuous// its bullshit trying to get respect on the face, of a false front that's more shaky than tectonic plate movement// fools get confused when they're staring at the illusion of conventional religious truth and see its not congruent with benevolence, when suicide bombers blow holes through it, reptilian iron fists use fear to keep control through it// exerting predatory instinct to kill their impotence, dealing judgment without regard for their cognitive dissonance// not to mention their true intentions are always ambiguous, that's more ridiculous than using modern art to twist a spliff// so if you missed it, that's just because the verse's purpose went over the average person's head like the bulk of a circus tent// "those big words are confusing but at least the beat is tight" heads get blinded by the darkness before they can peep the light...

The entire record is flames! I chose this song because the way it build and holds steady amazes me. This guy is one of the most consistent and innovative guys out there. Check his catalogue - I recommend 'Three Piece Puzzle'. K15
