lyrics

Cities with the same shape, different names...

feet moving
heads closing
throats choking on old cigarette smoke
eyes cold
heart frozen
most folks keep their nose to the whetstone
cabs crawling
with tags scrawled on 'em
the ants marching along are half hollow and
i can't stall 'em
it's a bad problem
we're so lost that i cannot follow
honestly it's obvious robbery
what they're playing
radio rappers are straight-up trash cause they get paid for it
all of us get caught up in drama because the process is flawed
and what's the cost? (a lot) that's what i'm saying, boy.
listen to the writtens i'm spitting cause i'm as sick as you think that i am
when i say this system's ridiculous
what i figure is division is cyclical, people take and give it, before you think
we're falling for the fake ploys
so let's make noise and mistakes, make
the roof shake and pump (pump) blood in the baseboards
let your energy flow
through your center
it's essential
what you think god give you veins for?
i am thankful for y'all and music
i see clear on stage, and i use it
diffusing the haze
of the brutalest maze
babylon falling
(aw, it's beautiful, ain't it?)
yeah it is,
it's hysterical
it's a miracle
we made it out as long as we did
as some killers
now we're here again
let's start healing it
so here's the deal, for real, no fillers

block after block
we're all in shock
we work and serve our purpose constantly:
constructing walls
block after block
we watch the clock
we're certain this is perfect, to the top
we'll won't be wrong
block after block
this all is fucked
if we don't realize quick before we think we'll all be stuck.
