I'm just tryna put the truth up a little higher,

'cause we had a lot of cultures built and fall
they were unsustainable
they couldnt learn how to live
they never learned how to live.

now, we had a lot of cultures, didn't last forever...
we in disaster tryna put it together
how to live, we gotta learn how to live

it's like,
mesopotamia, sumeria, ur, turned to egyptians
and egypt gave birth to the catholics and christians,
tryna fit the damn planet in they hands, almost finished
but we never learned how to live

so if we dig the big picture and try to put it focus,
the life we all living is kinda beyond hopeless.
the cycle so vicious, even if we start over,
we would still be sick, and still wouldn't know
how to live

so excuse me if i'm rudely
telling you what i think i'm really just trying prove that
the misdeveloped paradigm we're working with is stupid
and we gotta learn how to live

we need to figure how to balance
humanity with earth and it's really not a challenge
we managed it at first but then we started to doubt that
we really knew how to live

now we had a lot of cultures built and fall
they were unsustainable
they couldnt learn how to live
we gotta learn how to live

we had a lot of cultures, didn't last forever
now we face disaster tryna put it together
how to live, how to live

we got caught between reality and vision
some of us are starving. we all in a large prison.
thought we was on top? we're lost, beyond sinners
and now we're gonna kill our kids

and i admire your talking nonsense and sitting
just as much as you admire fostering resistance
but that's the problem, nobody else tripping,
need to get up on our feet, i'ma preach if you widdit

cause we had a lot of cultures built and fall
they were unsustainable
they couldnt learn how to live
they never learned how to live

and we had a lot of cultures, didn't last forever
now we face disaster tryna put it together
how to live,
we tryna learn how to live

i got a couple things i'ma tell 'em:
i'd rather have you following god than me, feel it?
the planet's not perfect but honestly all's well
and it's all one, and that was never hard to tell was it?

and i don't mean to rap and sound funny
i just have to get this snap up off my chest like my punches
because i don't think we should what we do,
i think it's dumb, we need to study,
seek the truth, it's not money
we're raw putty
