verse 1:
*people keep on talking, only listen for the hell of it
make these words flow, watch me fucking cast a spell on it
all these niggas talkin but their talkin is irrelevant*
yeah they gonna try to take me, take me out my element
but it don't mean nothing to me
but it don't mean nothing to me
but it don't mean nothing to me
everything I spit, try to spit it with some eloquence
yeah I never quit cause I'm tryna stay relevant
watch me break it down, turn this into fucking sediment
thought I found my sound but that just ain't evident
yeah I'm making rounds, rounds for my president
the one with skin brown not the fucking elephant
it's times like this where I question our intelligence

chorus:
what is fear?
what is pain?
what is damage to the brain?
what are these thoughts that got me going insane?
they got me going insane

verse 2:
they tell me money talks while the devil fucking listens
looking for the gold when everything else glistens
don't wanna grow old and feel like something is missing
praying to the Lord I never get in that position
all these bars, yeah, you'd think I was in a prison
yeah I'm making moves off of my own ambition
waiting to tell mama her son has finally risen
yeah

chorus:
what is hate?
what is sadness?
what is all of this fucking madness?
what is great?
what is blackness?
what is all over my fucking canvas?

verse 3:
yeah,
they say good things take time
well, if time is money, I guess I'm spending a dime
and these demons running from me, yeah it's about time
our love is looking bloody and our hatred is sublime
this world is looking ugly but my hope is alive
this world is looking ugly but my hope is alive
and I hope that I'm right or this is our demise
go ahead gather round and say your goodbyes
there's nothing we can do cause it's all by design
doing all we can just so we can survive
doing all we can just so we can survive

chorus:
what is trust?
what is envy?
what is lust?
what's within me?
cause if it's not you, then it's not true
