Lyrics

[Intro] (performed by The Twilight)
Your love was overrated.
Now you got me debating.
I’m stuck here missing you...

[Verse 1] (performed by The Twilight)
Walked outta my life, and now it feels empty.
I know that I fucked up, and my heart’s been on the assembly
ever since you left me with a vacancy in my soul.
You broke me like the silence when you said you had to go.
I shattered like the glass that you smashed to the floor.
When the door slammed closed, ice in my veins began to flow.
Tear up all the photos of the love I used to know.
Choking on the waves, drowning in the undertow.

[Hook] (performed by ILyric x The Twilight)
Such a rush.
Feeling all this shit makes me wanna spill my guts.
Oh God, I’d rather be numb to it all.
Makes me ask if it was worth it, cuz now I’m feeling worthless.
Paint the same strokes with the brush.
Yeah, the pain, I feel it gush.
Your love was overrated.
I didn’t see it at first blush;
now, you got me debating.

[Post-Hook] (performed by ILyric x The Twilight)
Should I watch you step in the wrong direction?
Misdirection when he promises affection.
Nothing I can do.
Guess I'm stuck here missing you.
All this love I have to prove,
but it's never in my purview.

[Verse 2] (performed by The Twilight)
Huh, so many words I lack.
Wish that I could find the ones I need to say to win you back,
but I've fallen, fallen right out of favor.
She's such a fucking cheater
and it makes me wanna hate her.
Think I wanna forget,
maybe burn away the memories and watch 'em turn to ash. (Ahh)
I'm too loyal to the ones who turn their backs.
If you wanted me to bleed, baby, you'll never have to ask again.

[Hook] (performed by ILyric x The Twilight)

[Post-Hook] (performed by ILyric x The Twilight)

[Verse 3] (performed by ILyric)
I fucked up. Yeah, it’s true
and now I’m missing you,
missing you and I don’t know what to do without you.
With everything we’ve been through?
I can’t believe you’d be through.
Why couldn't you just stay by my side?
Made me feel alive.
Made me wanna strive for greatness.
Without you, that is my weakness.
I still can smell your fragrance,
missing your vibrations.
Around you, my soul awakens.
Was stronger the moment we began.
Plenty of fish in the sea, but I ain’t no fisherman.
Damn...

[Hook] (performed by ILyric x The Twilight)

[Outro] (performed by ILyric x The Twilight)
Should I watch--watch--you step in the wrong--wrong--
Love I have to--
Misdire--re--re--re--re--re (Never in my purview.)
God I’d rather--
Smell your fragrance--
Makes me wanna hate--ha--ha--ha--
Numb to it all--it all--

Lyrics

[Intro] (performed by ILyric)
No matter how far I’ve come, my expectations say I’m behind.

[Verse 1] (performed by ILyric)
I’m about to blast off.
I finally took that mask off
to search for the bigger picture.
If your light's out,
get a better fixture.
I’m earnin’ my respect so they call me mister
ILY until I die.
I’m about to fly.
These gnats only multiply,
and I gotta protect my fruit,
all my loot,
all my roots,
and my roots led me right to this pursuit.
Now salute.
Stand back and watch me execute.
Like a villain, always killin’,
and my trigger finger’s itchin’.
I’ll be doing this for a living.
Good riddance to nine-to-five.
I’m here to live;
I’m not here to survive.

[Hook] (performed by ILyric x The Twilight)
I am the hunter,
never the hunted.
Keep it a hunnid.
I’m the lion, you’re the prey.
No lyin’, better pray
that at the end of the day,
I don’t lay you on your back
and put you into your grave.
I’m scoping, you hoping.
I’m focused, you hopeless.
I’m unloading, you folding.
I’m molding, you scolding.
I will always do me
and forever be free.
Shooting all my shots
like I’m on a killing spree.
Knock you to one knee,
have you bleeding out your plea.
Flow like my shot, wet, one, two, three.
Let’s go.

[Verse 2] (performed by The Twilight)
(Ha) Fuck if I know how I turned all my suicide energy into discography.
Tore myself open to bleed
but was taken aback by the warrior inside of me.
Finally see the potential to blossom beyond all the flaws of my chemistry.
Black butterfly in my mind.
It's telling me lies.
I'm blocking it out with the vibes.
Forge a sword composed of self-made mastery.
Through constant battles, I can feel that Death is testing me.
I bear the shield so when I fall I'll leave a legacy
of passion and pain.
Fulfill my destiny. (Yeah!)

[Hook] (performed by ILyric x The Twilight)

[Bridge] (performed by ILyric with The Twilight)
I was born a star
so I’m shooting far
like I’m aiming superstar.
Hunting for my life,
it’s been a hefty price.
Forced to shake the dice,
and through all the madness
my name was picked.
Good thing I got aim like Katniss Everdeen.

[Half-Hook] (performed by ILyric)
I’m the hunter,
Never the hunted.
Keep it a hunnid.
I’m the lion, you’re the prey
No lyin’, better pray
that at the end of the day,
I don’t lay you on your back
and put you into your grave.

[Outro] (performed by ILyric)
I guess it’s safe to say
they won’t be coming our way.
Spotting and scoping every face 
no matter the place,
feeling every trace, seeing all the plays.
Seeking through their ways.
Who obeys the codes and who all screams they will betray?
Who obeys the codes and who all screams they will betray?

[Intro] (performed by ILyric x The Twilight)
Shit’s about to get filthy...
Hahahaha...
Listen: you know that we get--

[Hook] (performed by ILyric x The Twilight)
Filthy.
Step to the mic, we tearin’ it up.
You playin’ us back? Then please turn it up.
Sick with the beats and flows, oh God.
Yeah, filthy.
You never gave a fuck about us.
Feelin’ nauseous, got the bile in our guts.
Lyrics so nasty we throwin’ ‘em up.
It’s getting filthy.
...the way you been doin’ us wrong.
We got our chins up whenever you punch down.
Just a matter of time ‘fore you out in the crowd
gettin’ lit at the show when we open it up.
Returning the favor: we don’t give a fuck.
Nah, don’t give a fuck.
Better think twice talkin’ shit about us.

[Verse 1] (performed by ILyric)
If you know me, then you shouldn’t be surprised.
If you heard of me, then you know I qualify.
People tend to say things without reading in between the lines.
Be sure to recognize it tends to be personalized.
They will try to bring demise through all of their lies.
We ain’t hearing it, busy building up our enterprise.
We can see all of the signs, so we know that we’re on the rise.
On our way to another life through the blue skies.
Remain by each other’s side.
In this game, gotta keep an eye out for the masters of disguise. 
Fuck the predetermined ideas of who they think we can be.
It’s a pure reflection of what they think they can be.
Haters gonna hate.
We’re focused on being great.
That’s why they try to complicate
by throwing all the shade in our way,
but we stay in our lane, dodge debris as we elevate.
Might wanna reevaluate,
‘cause this mixtape ‘bout to circulate.
Here to fuck this game,
taking it slow - just wait until we penetrate.
Oooo, filthy.

[Hook] (performed by ILyric x The Twilight)

[Verse 2] (performed by ILyric x The Twilight)
Tryna tear me down, but I do it well enough myself.
Nothing to say? Then shut the fuck up and get outta my face.
Over here doin’ big things.
Take your infant brain and please stay away.
Thin ice if you step to me
and if you piss me off, there’s no saving grace.
No saving grace, no saving grace. 
Piss me off and I’ll slick talk you to your face.
Put you in your place.
Patience running dry, don’t let it dissipate.
I eat it all, and I cook everything thrown onto my plate.
Shake ‘n bake. Ricky Bobby
I feel when some of you mock me,
but you’ll never stop me, y’all will never top me. 
Like dalmations, you motherfuckers stay spotty
Some stay true to dog eat dog.
That's no respect, that don’t get my nod
Too many facades.

[Hook] (performed by ILyric x The Twilight)

[Outro] (performed by ILyric)
I’ve been getting stoned, so y’all will never rock me. Haha.

[Intro] (performed by ILyric x The Twilight)
Man, we just out here doin’ our own thang, trying to make a splash.
Uh, yeah,

[Hook] (performed by ILyric x The Twilight)
Off the deep end.
We're diving in. Keep your mouth pinned shut.
Don't remember ever asking your opinion.
Get bent. ILyric and I? We do our own shit.
Say whatever you want, but don't expect for us to listen.
Let's go.
Eyes on us.
We're diving in. Keep your mouth pinned shut.
Don't remember ever asking your opinion.
The Twilight and I? We drop the tape and make your head spin.
Say whatever you want, but don't expect for us to listen.

[Verse 1] (performed by The Twilight)
Talk out your ass, that’s a lotta waste words.
You better wipe yourself off ‘fore you come around smelling like a turd. (Haha)
Have you heard how absurd you sound
always trying to put other people down?
You should take a look at yourself.
Such a hypocrite, foot to mouth.
Better take the foot outta your mouth
next time you come at me.
Can’t make out what you’re saying.
Man, you’re mumbling.
Guess you didn’t mean to say anything.
That’s okay, already tuned you out. I wasn’t even listening,
so fuck what you think.
I got no patience for the hate.

[Hook] (performed by ILyric x The Twilight)

[Verse 2] (performed by ILyric)
Talkin’ shit? That’s okay, I got my ears closed.
I stay composed. Meanwhile, you're the one exposed
throwin’ stones, but don’t got the stones to make it known.
You're sittin’ in the back, so the shade’s being thrown.
I see you, nothing gets in the way of my view.
That’s why me and my crew continue to pursue,
swimming at our own risk.
No lifeguard and we’re still diving in.
You can go big, or you can go home.
Me and success go together like a dog and it’s bone. (Roof!)
Makin’ so much change like a walking payphone. (Ah)
On point and always at the top like a traffic cone. (Ah)
I’m boss, so call me The Don like Al Capone.

[Intro] (performed by ILyric x The Twilight)
Oh...
(The Twilight)
(Yuh, ILY until I die)

[Hook] (performed by The Twilight)
I’ve been working my ass off to live right.
Twenty four seven, call it overtime.
Yeah, but if I’m gonna die tonight,
I’ll leave it all on the line.
You better listen to what I’m sayin’.
Palm out, yeah I’m beggin’ that you pay attention,
‘cause if I’m gonna die tonight,
I wanna leave a little light behind.

[Verse 1] (performed by ILyric)
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
We really started from the bottom, didn't have a dime.
Always on my grind and on my way to take what is mine.
I’m a different type of breed, one of a kind.
Scales 1 to 10, I’m a motherfucking dime.
I march to the beat of my own drum.
The clock says, “it's time.”
Unique set of chimes.
Creating huge waves with my sound.
Aura got me like ten feet off the ground.
They try to steal my light, try to take me to the pound,
but no box out, so I always rebound.
They hating on my shot cuz they know it's going down. (Swish!)
All my goals inbound, and they standing out of bounds.
The ball’s in my court, and I’ll never come up short.
Stay taking off, planes at the airport.
Trajectory on the rise, so you better recognize, uhh.
Time to shift up, and I will capitalize.
I stay punctualized, and I will make it happen - period.
I’m built for this, got the material.
Building my imperial brand.
A winning mindset, some will never understand.
That’s why they in stands living life as the fans,
looking up to me like, “Damn, that’s the man.”
Uh

[Hook] (performed by The Twilight with ILyric)
I’ve been working my ass off to live right.
Twenty four seven, call it overtime.
Yeah, but if I’m gonna die tonight,
I’ll leave it all on the line.
You better listen to what I’m sayin’. (Better listen)
Palm out, yeah I’m beggin’ (got me beggin’) that you pay attention, (yeah)
‘cause if I’m gonna die tonight,
I wanna leave a little light behind.

[Verse 2] (performed by ILyric)
It’s funny - randoms support me more than the fam.
For them, I’m basically panhandling, palm out.
Make me beg for any appreciation, not to mention interest to listen.
Ironically, what their missing: if I win, they win.
Just to bring it up, it’s like cutting off a limb.
Leaving their presence, I notice that I’m dimmed.
It stings, pulling on my heartstrings.
It’s a sad melody, and I know that I’m not for everybody.
I guess I expected more loyalty,
but I can’t let that soil me.
Wipe all the shit off like some toiletry.
Keep doing me and chasing after royalties.
It’s been a long time coming.
Loving who I’m becoming. 
I’m done beggin’, being the one who stays in people's lives.
If I died tonight, would you even think twice?
Would it strike home?
You’d regret it all,
then sit back, listen to each one of my poems.
Odd concept.
High price for anyone's respect.
One day they love you,
the next day they hate you.
When you die, they praise you.
Yea

[Intro] (performed by The Twilight)
(Gotta offset, reset.
Gotta offset, reset.)

[Hook] (performed by The Twilight)
Yeah, I guess I’m back to the habit.
Just can’t seem to get past it.
These drugs impair my magic,
but they’re takin’ away my sadness.
Chemical imbalance, gotta offset.
Can’t get high enough, still feel the stress.
I’m a fuckin’ mess. Who am I trying to impress?
I think I gotta reset.

[Verse 1] (performed by The Twilight)
All of these negative thoughts in my head.
Really need an angel, got a devil instead.
I feel the dread suck the joy from my body.
Self-deprecation’s the hobby,
then I wonder why I’m dead like a zombie
and I’m feelin’ like nobody.
Intoxicate ‘til I feel like I have no body.
That’d be the dream: to break free...
Then I wake up fucked up, feeling groggy.
“You stupid shit, you’re as useless as you think you are.
Stop wasting all your makings popping pills and get wasted,”

[Pre-Hook 1] (performed by The Twilight)
but I know I’m gonna do it all over again.
Turned left, felt right, got caught in a dead end
paradigm. Just another night.
Find the right concoction, tryna feel alive
but I’d rather die than come to terms
with the darkest demons that dwell inside.
I’ll say I’m fine, that’s my modus operandi.
Hope you can’t see my tortured mind.

[Hook] (performed by ILyric)

[Verse 2] (performed by ILyric)
Why can't I ever see the dragon that I'm always chasing?
Man, I gotta slay the dragon that I’m facing.
So I looked myself dead in the eyes,
but I took a step back in confusion.
Is what I'm seeing… an illusion?
My head's filled with too much pollution.
It’s gruesome, and I know I gotta clean up my act.
The seduction is an abduction.
They're taking me to a whole new world.
I have so much attraction to the chemical reaction.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't like ’em.
They can make you wise, but they take away your youth.
They can overwhelm ya, but they really show you the truth.
Tend to hit the sweet tooth, 

[Pre-Hook 2] (performed by ILyric)
but I know I’m gonna do it all over again.
Turned left, felt right until I got to the end of my night.
Playing this game isn't always fun.
You think you’re on a chase, but you’re really on the run.
They make you feel like you got a peace of mind
but what you’ll find is all they do is stun ya,
especially when they’re done, yeah.
Fuck, hope you can’t see my tortured mind.

[Verse 1] (performed by ILyric)
I’m sorry.
I know I’m not what you need me to be.
I didn’t know how to be anything but me.
I’m not by any means easy to deal with.
With all my loss,
I’m feeling like I ain’t worth it.
Like my cross stamped penny kinda worn and worthless.
Been in park, so no drive, I’m debt broke and feelin’ hopeless.
We’re all on a pursuit of happiness, but I’m losing focus.
Like damn, is there something wrong with me?
Ay doc… what’s the prognosis? 
“You don’t live in the moments.
Not everyone’s your opponent.
Everyone don’t deserve your condolence.
Time for you to reopen.
Set your life in motion.
Walls so high they touch the sky.
Free all weight before it’s too late.”

[Hook] (performed by ILyric ft. The Twilight)
So many things on my mind.
“Scatter the thoughts.”
Kaleidoscope.
“I can't focus.”
Flying by the limit signs.
“I gotta ease up and calm down.”
Damn, I'm racing faster than the speed of light.
“Catch me if you can.”
Uh, try to collect myself. (myself)
Spinning in circles, I'm stuck. (I’m stuck)
Negative thoughts, get 'em out. (get ‘em out)
Demons, they knock at the door, and I can't tune 'em out.
I scream and I shout. (I shout)
Bottomless hole, spiral down.
I gotta rely on myself. (Calm down)
I gotta ease up.

[Verse 2] (performed by ILyric)
I feel like I’m always falling.
These negative thoughts keep gnawing,
eating away my confidence.
Devil keeps winning arguments.
This process can be so tortuous.
Lately my smile’s an ornament.
Haven’t been very happy.
Keep pushing off my goals
without fearing the consequence.
It’s been a typical sequence,
a cycle full of weakness.
I’m speechless, searching for a treatment.
Actions seem to reflect that I’m dreamless.
Needless to say: I haven’t felt okay.
My mind’s in disarray
and seems like everyday
my depression’s on display.
Can’t seem to find my way.
I’m lost, so have I lost?
Need to be found, but at what cost?
I’m forever chasing my tail,
taking these drugs when I know what they cause.

[Hook] (performed by ILyric ft. The Twilight)

[Outro] (performed by The Twilight)
Doc, I’m caught up
in taking your prescriptions.
These drugs have got me fucked up.
The dosage ain’t enough.
No, no, the dosage ain’t enough.
Can you kick it up
a little more
until I pass out on the floor?

[Intro] (performed by ILyric)
Yeah... uh,
we sailing off, mazel tov.
Fuck this world, man.
This evil world...


[Verse 1] (performed by ILyric)
He’s feelin’ left behind, without a dime.
Pockets light, so a dime’s not on his side.
He works nine to five, searchin’ for ride or die.
Keeps swimming in circles pretending he’s alive.
Uncle Sam filled him with too much pride, but he lied.
Go to work, pay your taxes,
pay your bills, shit is taxin’.
Constantly grasping for air
but nobody's there.
Robots keep churning the wheel
with absolutely no one there to care.
Gun to his head? Ends it all right there.
Life ain’t fair.
She's feeling left behind.
She works her ass off and seems to get through all the rough times.
Takes all the overtime so all the kids will have a full ride,
but that path’s being busted
by a father that shoulda never busted.
Never shoulda trusted.
The funds she saved were never entrusted.
Bills stock pile up, she feels like giving up.
Downs a bottle of pills, runs for the hills.
Kids are like, “Damn... love kills.”

[Chorus 1] (performed by ILyric x The Twilight)
This is a toast to everybody feeling left behind,
numbered by a barcode and below the bottom line.
We’re fading prematurely while we’re working nine to five.
Middle fingers to these fuckers only seeing dollar signs.
They never had the right to steal the light out of our eyes.
They never had the right to brand us slaves until we die.
They propagate control through information falsified.
Thought I understood the meaning but there’s layers to their lies.

[Verse 2] (performed The Twilight)
Raised on applesauce with the blue pill crushed.
Indoctrinate the children while their minds are still mush.
Who funds the news, universities, and schools,
curriculum at higher education institutes?
I swear this shit gets scarier. Who controls the media?
Who can make a story that will spark a mass hysteria?
Sway the conversation with the scripted talking heads.
Hiding shifty machinations while we argue with our friends.
Left wing, right wing, same bird of prey.
Got us chained up in a corner so it’s easy to obey.
Common man’s aloof to how they play out their agenda.
Smoke and mirror strategy to obfuscate the target of vendetta.
It’s always the same.
Generation after generation, brainwashed to the game.
What a shame that our elders were so blind to their ways.
Now it’s all up to you and to me to make a change.

[Chorus 2] (performed by ILyric x The Twilight)
This is a toast to everybody feeling left behind,
numbered by a barcode and below the bottom line.
We’re fading prematurely while we’re working nine to five.
Middle fingers to these fuckers only seeing dollar signs.
It’s the land of the free with a fistful of green.	
It’s the land of the brave if there’s money to gain.
Limit liberty and justice cuz they meddle with their plans.
Thought I understood the meaning but I never had a chance.

[Outro]
“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Here we go, here we go, here we go again.
Here we go, here we go, let the record spin.
Here we go, here we go, let this shit sink in.
Can’t bite my flow, can’t reach my glow,
and some can’t comprehend.

[Hook 1] (performed by ILyric)

[Verse 1] (performed by ILyric)
I’m outta this world. That’s alien nation.
Closed outta your world. That’s alienation.
Don’t feel like I belong. Didn’t get the invitation.
So I do me. I’m a wanderer.
Lucky to see me once a year like a fuckin’ decoration,
so I fuck this world. That’s damnation.
For real, I say, “Fuck this whole damn nation.”
You go home and sit down to flip on a propaganda station.
I see all depreciation and see the deterioration.
(What makes it worse?)
It's your very own accommodation.
We fry our brains two completely different ways.
I open up my mind, and Uncle Sam closes yours.
Two completely different worlds.
Fuckin’ like the birds and the bees.
I stick to smokin trees, and you controlled by the TV.
"Listen to big brother," like a mom and dad say.
If you disagree: bow your head, obey. 
You'll be blackmailed everyday.
No one dares to get in the way
You do? Loved ones are put in a casket and taken away
without a say.
 
[Bridge] (performed by ILyric)
Now repeat after me and say:
“I am free…”
Now repeat after me and say:
“Get a degree…”
Blind you with the thought of the American dream
to distract you from all the debris.
Blind you with the thought of the American dream
to distract you from all that can be.
Look behind the scenes,
look deeper than the surface and you will see all their schemes.
They're fiends, feasting on our dreams.
Pharmaceuticals handed out to teens
All turned into sheep. Keep the flock asleep.
Can't be thinkin’ deep.
 
[Bridge] (performed by Brandon Haut)
“The world is a dangerous place to live.
Not because of the people who are evil,
but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.”
     -Albert Einstein
 
[Hook 2] (performed by ILyric)
Evil world, evil world, evil world again.
Evil world, evil world, let sense trickle in.
Evil world, evil world, arrest that lawman.
Can't get justice, only roughness,
and some can't comprehend.
 
[Hook 2] (performed by ILyric)
 
[Verse 2] (performed by ILyric)
This is an evil world.
Presidents groping girls.
Women only interested if you buying some pearls.
Men behind bars and institutionalized for selling herbs;
meanwhile, corrupt politicians get another term.
Racism continues to churn.
Videos continue surfacing,
but seems like whites can never learn.
African Americans attacked
by very ones sent to protect and serve.
The elites divide and conquer, sit back and watch the world burn.
There's not one concern for who ends up in an urn,
just the profits and how much they earn.
They got no love for us, they don't yearn.
Not a care in the world in that mansion
counting those returns.
My point is made, my case is closed;
for now, court’s adjourned.

Lyrics

[Intro] (performed by ILyric)
They think they know me, think they know me... what? (What?)
They think they own me, think they own me?
...but nah, homie, that’s the old me.
They think they know me-- (Yeah)

[Verse 1] (performed by ILyric)
Thinking they know me, so they watch closely.
Face in my business, it can get nosey.
Flocking all around like ring around the rosey.
Thinkin’ my pockets full of posey.
Not how I ride, focused on the trophy.
There is no interest or time to impress.
I finesse as I work my way to success.
Say less, do more.
I never drop the ball so I’m on the way to score.
Lightning striking, that’s a touchdown.
I’ll be laughing by the end.
You a bunch of clowns.
Like when all teachers said,
"No cap and gown." 
Well, bitch, look at me now, like Chris Brown.
Feeling all the, “Ooo ahhs,” and, “Oh wows.”
You can bet that ass I’m keeping my vows.
Now take a bow.

[Pre-Hook] (performed ILyric)
They think they know me, think they know me... what? (What?)
They think they own me, think they own me?
...but nah, homie, that’s the old me.
They think they know me, think they--


[Hook] (performed by ILyric with The Twilight)
They think they can fit me into a neat and tidy box.
Keep tryin’ to force me in,
but I’m breakin’ out.
Yeah, (Yeah!) my head’s above the clouds.
Higher perspective,
enlightened perception.
Uh, (Yeah, yeah, yeah) nothing’s gonna stop me now. (No no no!)
Team on my side, no fake ones. (No fake ones!)
I need the praise, so pay up. (So pay)
So pay up. (So pay)

[Verse 2] (performed by The Twilight)
Selfish little prick. Damn, who the fuck raised you?
Don’t wanna wear a mask? (*loud gasp*) Blaming CO2.
Global pandemic and you want free reign,
saying, “I don’t like the feeling of the fabric on my face.”
Karen, shut up - for real -  it’s not about you.
Tryna help the vulnerable, but y’all can’t see through
the view where you see it as a freedom being lost.
Elephant or an ass, getting played all the same - call it Chromecast.
Drake said, “What a time to be alive.
You and yours vs. me and mine.”
In reality, we’re all on the same side.
Head honcho’s drawing the boundary lines.
Every day, it’s another stolen life.
Nauseated every time somebody dies.
Got light-skin? Then expect swift justice,
otherwise you better brace yourself for excuses. (Wooo!)
Inequality divides us. Mental health plagues us.
Suicide rates up, trying to escape the
scavenger system, living on bread crumbs.
Closer to a street bum. We are all victims.
So I gotta stay active and keep spittin’ ideas.
Maybe one of them will grow into a tree.
I’m out here planting the seeds to rewrite the American Dream.

[Pre-Hook] (performed by The Twilight)
Yeah, they think they know me, think they know me… what? (What?)
They think they own me, think they own me?
Hahaha... but nah, homie, that’s the old me.
Heh... they think they know me, think they--

[Hook] (performed by The Twilight with ILyric)

(Whoo! Hahaha...)
