As we are bombarded by stimulus from the environment around us our senses numb

To the sound of war drums and the warning signs of what's to come down on us

We're already dead, already dust

In God we trust, take care if us

Or something like that

When a warhead splits into 55 pieces we all get hit

Like oh shit

My skin just melted and dripped

So did my outfit, and I just washed it

But I couldn't stop it

Everybody fights with each other all day

Narrow-minded, short-sighted, motherfuckers gonna pay

Went to run for cover til my cover got blown away

Now I'm standing in the driveway

I see my mom 50 yards in the distance

Covered in blisters

She was calling her sister and the line went dead

My dad was already in bed cause he had to get up and work to keep the family fed

Last thing I saw was like a flash bulb

The impact left an outline of my body on the wall

And you're fighting over a parking spot at the mall

And you spent the last five years in that cubicle

And you're so confused by life you're addicted to food

Because it soothes you for the time being

These are the times we live in

Watcha gonna do about it

Everyone is partially brainwashed

And a clean mind is easy to watch

Right now I'm caked in mud and my mental's sweaty in the crotch

And I'm hard to stop

How can we communicate with other cultures

When we feed on each other like vultures?

Slaves to impulses

Nobody deals with consequences

And we all got fences, apprehensive

And lawyers are on the offensive

Gotta put their two cents in

And come out with a Benjamin

Wanna say fuck the system

But it's hard to stop



I remember the day when my bright eyes faded away



The pain fades as I fade away like so many years ago

As I descended to the shadows

My world's aglow like so much nitro

Lit by some pyro that I don't even know

Would never disrespect me, had he met me

Cause if we disagree I'm hard to stop

It's all said and done, so soon I'd just begun

On a blind journey where I can't get lost

Cause my eyes are crossed and I'm walkin in circles on the train of thought

And it's better to be abstract cause people interpret you differently

See what they wanna see

Recently everybody sees me

Til a moment ago when the air explodes

Apparently I'm after the fact

Just like that

But it couldn't be stopped

And in this defining moment maybe you can finally focus

On the things you failed to notice

And what the difference is

Between being alive and being able to live

For the first time do we ever see truth

In our own mind with our own eyes

And I thought of the perfect rhyme with a hook to go

But I never made it back to the studio

The tiniest thing can bring down the mightiest king

Cause a crown can bling but it won't save you

From the sound I bring

Welcome to O Top's awakening

You can bet that I'll make hip-hop with the time I got

And it'll be hard to stop

What goes through your mind and what stays in it for a hot minute?

Long enough for you to process the ridiculousness of what gives you stress

I am willing to bet that you tend to forgive and forget in this moment of death

I'm holding my breath; cause the air today is poisonous

How did it come too this?

Everything was perfect

Everything was perfect

How did it come too this?



I remember the day when my bright eyes faded away
