Lead by example..

How many lives have we lost? 
Exploiting people for a cost
Did we always have a broken heart?
Were we losers from the start?

Just one last go - be like the water and we'll show you what we know
Don't move, just flow - be like the water and we'll show you what we know

Open your eyes, little child cuz I know you've had it
There's a war for our minds, and it isn't credit
Take a look outside that book, something isn't legit
Why do we constantly rewind when it's in the edit, don't sweat it
It's all how they long for us to be like sheep
Have our souls to keep
And so we sing...

Just wipe that tear right off your face, it can get much better
We are the tragic human race, gotta think together
How will we ever win this game, if we don't deliver?
Lead by example is a frame of mind we must consider our trigger!
It's all how they long for us to be like sheep
Have our souls to keep
And so we sing...

Lead by example..

Lead by ie.

It's so funny how it goes
Those things some people show
When you think that you know..
It lights up and it explodes
People laugh and then they cry..
And then you realize it's all a lie
How will I truly grow?
Show me how to let it go

Living in the now can be so very hard persuing
When the past is so relentless and the future's in your viewing
We're trying to make it, or at least, that's what we're saying
But, now, truth be told, we're slavin' in a world of entertainment 
Are you complacent living like the rich and famous?
Their lives are so contagious, but it makes me feel so brainless
Can't even hear ya, cuz your words are so aimless
Let's form a basis before we start acting shameless

Let's get this music blastin'
The drums and bass slappin'
My rhymes 
Smashin'
This streamlined clashin'
You can believe this happenin'
I can't believe that I'm rappin'
And although you might be laughin'
My words are never lackin', so..
Can we just speak the truth in whatever the things we do
I know it's hard to think things through, 
but actions seem to misconstrue
I'm askin', cuz I'm feelin' low
Please show me how to let it go
Walking through the streets before a path I'll truly never know

Please show me how..

Show Me How (to Let It Go)

It's the streamlined shallow dive..

It's the shit that goes through all my head
It's the shit that might just leave you fed

It's the streamlined 
Shallow dive
Never on the other side
Won't see me trying to abide
I'm just here to be your guide
Admission
Amazement
Walk in admiration
Lost and blind
We don't appreciate engagement
I've been 'round for years trying very hard to change this
But, I can't do it myself
We need a force to make it
Face it
Erase it
Recognize what great is
Organize our time so we can lift ourselves and stay lit

Streamlined shallow dive
Never on the other side

It's the streamlined
Shallow dive
Never hold on to your pride
Won't see me lookin' to the hive
Free your mind and feel alive
Persuaion
Invasion
These tools their always phasin'
My mind's too strong for that shit - in correlation
In these times we find it's a war for our frustration
But, if you fight fire with fire
Then, can you blame them?
Water puts the fire out
What is all the fuss about?
Bring 'em clout, without a doubt
Unless you see a better route?

It's the streamlined shallow dive..
It's the..

It's like pullin' teeth for some human interaction
I'm tryin' to form a meet while you're too busy just makin' a caption
Pullin' teeth for some human interaction 
Get that light off your face before this becomes a fashion

It's like pullin' teeth for some human interaction
I'm tryin' to form a meet while you're too busy just makin' a caption
I'm walkin' down the street, everyone is distraction
Keep your eyes on the screen, before somebody sees compassion
Now, I think it's kinda funny, how you're workin' for the money
You should stop and take a breath, you can learn something from me
Those #hashtags and @handles put you in a stand still
Consuming all your lives - that shit belongs in a landfill 

It's like pullin' teeth, just to get a small reaction
Too busy on the stream waiting for the next contraption
Exciting as it be, there's more to make a little passion
You're never truly free until you break the satisfaction
Now, if we hold
To be sold
We control
Our fate
So, be bold
Or be told
A lasting mental state 
That's just simply how interdependent all your life is
Don't like the saddened truth - your hate towards it only fuels this!

This how we're doin'
And this is how we're livin'
Get rid of that robotic routine before we give in!

Anti-social Media

Your disbelief is killing me!

Here what I speak
Listen to what I say
I'd rather take this all on my own, if I may?
Forgive me for a little
But, that's the price that you pay
'Cuz that chip on your shoulder really goes a long way
Listen:
I don't think you need concern to live with
Focus on a path that you care so to establish 
For every greater force, there's a counter that will match it
Livin' in a lie is a life without a hatchet

Disbelievers
Overrated underachievers
True deceivers 
Always wind up being our leaders
I'm trying to be a reliever 
But, I'm caught in the nosebleed section of the bleachers
Blank of of innocent features
Can't even run
Locked up in this cage with a gun
Become undone
As I learn that I can trust no one
Feelin' numb
Get me outta here before I become
Just another disbeliever alum - ya feel me!

I don't know if it's just my head but,
All I see is suckas being lead down a
False path that we're trying to see...
Why don't you know you disbelievers killin' me

Your disbelief is killing me! 

Disbelief

The problem with protest songs, is that they speak of the problem, but not the solution - it's time to put the heart back into the music!
