Lyrics:

Plant a seed watch it grow, be cautions of corrupted soil.

Tainted roots, hidden truth, don’t believe an absolute.

Contaminated cognitive take away their common sense.

Oil spills to a sea, bad apples to a tree. 

What their soil is to seed….

Children born, children play, children follow what they see.

Led by blind, ill-informed all the cycles will repeat…

When all is said and done…

What will they grow in turn to be?

Set in stone, fully grown, open mind but no ones home.

Since our birth, altered our reality.

Handed the seed to all your creativity and morality.

So any growth has been crafted, and eventually becomes stunted.

Live without purpose die without reason.

If you don’t trust society and don’t know yourself…

What do you believe in?

Growth has been corrupted, hindered, and impeded. 

Because all the lies and norms told to us since day one… 

Well….. We’ve believed it.

Lyrics:

How can we move forward?
Come together, as a people, if you don’t see me as equal?
If you see them committing evil, instigator to the violence but when 
it’s time to speak up, people blind, people silent.
How can we ever come together, if we don’t believe we’re all a little at fault?
I feel some days ignorance is a disease that’s passed on like hereditary traits
and their hatred is taught.
It’s a sickness and is contagious…
And just me knowing this truth doesn’t cure, Just enrages.
There’s no fixing a problem, by skipping steps in the equation,
Won’t forget, but can’t forgive, holding on to bitterness,
This was me, that was then but I’m aware of my fault and my sin…
How can we have a peace, or love with one another if she, he, or I tell you the struggle, of our harsh reality and you wish to brush it under rugs?

This all began, because of insecurities within the ego of a man.
Instead of being truthful, and owing up to ones mistakes, and these committed atrocities
A lie was told about inadequacy and birthed the contest of worth, and  created race,
That no one wins…
it’s almost funny because he in front of me.
But he still running…
From the truth 
With no finish in sight..
Why have all these imaginary concepts complicated life?
I sense the lie, were in delusion, misconceptions, stopping movement.
Won’t acknowledge or admit.
That these, concepts are fabricated, but still exist….
Money, time, race, nothing’s real,
I’m aware of that, but the implications have real effects,
You can’t truly understand someone If these truths you still neglect…
