Original Song: "Lust For Life" by Drake

lyrics

y'all not ready.
but you need to be.
cause the problems we face are insanely dangerous
and they're close to beating us completely.
and y'all don't want this
but i wish you did
cause if we gonna win then i figure we should think about our worth as work that we're putting in.
look at this

a full system we control, so simple,
we unroll moldy scriptures and dispose old wisdom
and we don't know shit about the whole big picture
but we go on, let the lizardmen bomb buildings.

we're all dealing with intense hard feelings,
we're depressed,
not giving the impression of healing,
progress towards ceilings
and pretend we don't hear or see
dimensions all skewed and conventions off kilter

what i mean is our freedom is conditional.
we can only seem to do the things we been conditioned to.
people will believe what they see and they listen to,
all of us deceived by the thieves that imprisoned us.

this ill culture has produced all killers,
if you do no wrong bet you still contribute
to the harm inflicted on our world by our industry
the whole thing of it is sick like our ministry.

the word "city" means growth is inherent.
read what is wrote and you'll see it's apparent.
breathe with the flow of the leaves and you'll hear it.
sleep in the motherfucking street, then you'll fear the police
what is this, the miracle lease?
drive the planet to the cliff, fix the steering and leave?
what we're handing to our kids is a scary disease.
why is man being a bitch to the memes that he breeds?

everything's connected and hooked.
see what i mean if you ever take a second to look.
you could read if you please, just pick up a book.
but they all say the same thing: resist crooks.
