The biggest lie

I'm trying to look at the big picture. I'm trying to smile and be happy. I'm trying to do everything thats been expected of me. I know im not being fair. I am a selfish person when it comes to some things, as is everyone at one point or another in their life...and i can scream at the top of my lungs but youll never hear me. Youll never look, youll never listen. Youll never take precious time out of your day and thats your loss....thats on you. Ive given my all. Ive wasted my precious time and my precious energy and my precious fucking self-respect. I am too strong and there is no excuse for me to be like this...im done.


The problem with me is that i think too much
relying on this pen and this ink too much...

and I do too much - I'm always on tour
accumulating points, till I forgot about the score
And the problem with you is you don't think it all
your brains deadweight so you sink and you fall
you drink and you smoke till your motivation's gone
and you know this is true so you hate this song...

The problem with me is co-dependency
so afraid of the day that you won't remember me
knee deep in anxiousness, needy like an infant
escapism, beats, rhymes, alcohol & women

the problem with you - you let yourself stop believing
and now you're afraid of your own thoughts and feelings
forgot how to share what I love most about you...
lost your voice - now no choice but to doubt you

Now the problem with the world? ...the lack of respect
for our earth, for our children - for the future we neglect
for the morals, for the values, for the god that we select
millions die everyday without a cause to affect

The problem with the revolution? ...it's never gonna happen
through these marches, through this music, through these motherfuckers rappin'
through these communists, these socialists or any other faction
armchair activist - all talk no action...

The problem with the people that I stay surrounded with?
...they all wanna replace faith with a psychologist
bring the evolution, whether thinkin it's pollution
when they're swallowing the balance, and they're drinking the solutions

The problem with the people that I won't stand next to?
...they don't hear the songs that we sing for the rescue
the keys of life - the basslines of sadness
so people that don't have - reach out and grab it

The problem with hiphop? ...shit nothing at all
it's an artform that ranges and it changes it evolves
it's not always for the better, but patient with it ya'll
for our time will come and the wicked will fall
The problem with this song,
is it's not long enough to say
how fucked up it is that we living this way
nothing is alright ...but everything is okay
so we plan for tomorrow but we live for today

The problem with sex is self respect - calibration
the orgasm serves as your validation...
and the problem with love, is that it lives in a book now
the problem with drugs is that theyre too fucking good now
the problem with logic is theres too many loopholes
and the problem with truth is that it's usually brutal
the problem is I can't trust most of what I see
so Fuck it! ...all the problems of life must be me!


When they said this world was ours
Felt like we got body and soul
they think they had a cure for pain
...Biggest lie they ever told


-Felt
