lyrics

i'm so sick of producing my own beats
everything so self contained, its such a one way street
i've manage to rationalize helping others as being selfish
cuz it makes me feel good when you good and we all connected

and can agree that i did a good job, is that really all i'm after? GOD!
been trying to believe but it doesn't add up
numbers don't lie so i said enough and I put
god in my calculator
tried not to be a hater
but honestly this book musta been written by a third grader
is faith really a choice? if it is then what's the point?
could that shit really exist? can you really hear a voice?

i am my own man, Adam rollin' solo
took the hand and clocked it spending hours at the dojo
stay up all night crushin 'spressos
while i clicked and clacked at windows
feeling fruity when I'm sparring with the critics and the crap i know
perfection isn't real, so why try to attain it?
spending time and lines comin up with metaphors to explain it
i hate it, i can't write shit, all my lyrics suck big dicks
and it ain't mine cuz it don't feel good,
when you quesy but not sick

maybe it's the drugs
maybe it's the genes
maybe it's that everything is just not what it seems
you mean, that all the life we know is merely accidental?
but is it inconsequential? Whats the point?

we are all kept by our brothers, under the rug and under the covers,
free will can't be that free if we have to deal with one another
cause everyone's effected when a cain kills his brother
when a screw driver hits an angel who was gonna rise above us
now she's fallen to ground, but you wouldn;t hear the sound
cause everyone is tweetin that some real shit just went down
"how does this shit always happen" post a status, hear them clappin,
at the same shit you said last time cause you sure ain't took no action

is happiness really something, you can make out of thin air?
because energy and matter, all have to come from somewhere
cuz it's all just atoms, floating in our brain
sometimes i try to wonder, and it makes me go insane!

numbers never lie, just like guns don't kill people
ask anyone and they'll say everyone else is a sheeple
ask anyone and they'll tell you how there's just so shit
but if you ask someone else, it'll all be different
if truth is really true how can we disagree on it?
if free is really free whats the price tag doin on it?
if we are god's children why don't ever hear lullabyes,
not just mocking birds, when we're staring at the sky

Our father walked out on us a long long time ago
and he left us with this earth and now we're on our own
but now we think we have it all to ourselves
and daddy ain't here, to get his belt
out

listen, on what you're about to hear
theres a lot of different people, and some
of these people, they aren't me, they aren't people
i would ever wanna be. that's kind of the point.
but some of these people, are me,
and most importantly, some of these people
are you.
so come on. lets check it out.
i said lets go...lets gooooooooo
