CHORUS

It’s a sad state of affairs that we have in here

And we claim that we civilised

Because it’s more than insane cause we keep doing the same thing

That destroy so many lives

VERSE 1

See I don’t know about y’all but it’s embarrassing

To know that there’s a need for operation Trident

In case you don’t know that’s the part of the police

To deal specifically with black on black crime in the streets

What the ….is wrong with us

You telling me that this is the state of the race that

Most advanced society we made that

Carried the burden of slavery and stand tall on the same back

And now you trying to tell me that we struggling

To find the answers to the puzzling

That they keep forcing down our throats straight muzzling

But we keep on guzzling and hate and kill each other

But feel good to be hustling

Come on man escape society

Take some to yourself and gain sobriety

Look at the story of your life yeah that’s your legacy

Now keep it real man to man are you proud of what you see?

VERSE 2

Are you strong enough to rise up long enough

To divide illuminate grasp and wise up followers

Of any man or any clan who strives to dishonour us

Who lies just to topple us?

The people should salute!

And Ill recruit any being, given the fact were all human beings,

Tax man, even the police will cease when they stop breathing.

All seeing eye, man kinds arteries bleed but I’m past letting the foxes breed

I’m not a sheep

I need to sever degeneracy so I slice slay with syllables.

Benevolent rebel, eloquent, forget embedded pebbles.

Severing every traitor with blades of bass

Raping state ass, I spit exquisite politics to twist a sick nature

Anarchistic ink drips, and civil cysts desist but persist to blister effortless,

seeping from beneath lips.

Pissed system, missing literalists and although I’m throwing lyrical bricks,

You know my path provokes trespass, so tread hard!

VERSE 3

Man I watch War Of The Worlds

And I swear to god I wish there was a war of the worlds

I wish that earth would get invaded by extra terrestials

With technology to make our weapons look like vegetables

And I wish that they were hostile so we could see

How ridiculous the way we living life could really be

They won’t care about the colour of your skin

The size of your bling

The money in your pocket, the position that your

In the bigger scheme of things there’s no value

To these things that we fight for like animals

Instead of all these criminal activities

We should be philosophising about the remedies

To the problems we face

And no it’s not just the blacks

Everybody’s in a messed up state of time

You not feeling like I’m feeling man just give it some time
