I hope what we sing will carry
And the future'll stop looking so scary
And just like a flower rising through concrete
After this somersault we'll land on our feet
And though I try to keep it light-hearted
And get y'all hopping and jumpin'
Sometimes it's like my heart's pumpin'
Vestigial hate mixed with rage
Leftovers from a more rebellious age
That's never been solved, just locked in a cage
And left there to boil and simmer in memory
'Cause when something bad happens to me
I think how can I make that shit funny
Rarely any healthy conflict resolution
"Fuck that" is always aworking solution
It seems that I've developed an intense
Primordial sense of interdependence
With boiling rage and bubblin hate
For everyone guilt-trippin fate
On why they're so cynical and jaded
With the colors of their morals faded
And how it's society that made them hopeless
With religions that made them so soul-less
They keep blocking my speech
And won't allow it to reach
The heights where it belongs
Between the Shaolin monks
So when I unleash my flow
You'd better hold on, so
That when we get into that head-to-head collision
Your mind doesn't succumb to division
From the material realm
Motherfuckers need seatbelts for their minds
When I'm at the helm.
And when they say "yolo, I got nothing to lose
Of course, fool - no zombies afraid of the noose
And even though mind-blasting should give 'em the chills
What's there to expect from clowns with no skills
And where's your notebook, by the way
Didn't you know - everyday with me for you is a school day
With boiling rage and bubblin hate
For everyone guilt-trippin fate
On why they're so cynical and jaded
With the colors of their morals faded
And how it's society that made them hopeless
With religions that made them so soul-less
They keep blocking my speech
And won't allow it to reach
The heights where it belongs
Between the Shaolin monks
