lyrics

It’s all uphill and it’s only getting steeper. We all getting born to shake hands with the reaper. They say the worlds burning like it’s something new. People been searching for apocalypse since Black Plague was runnin’ loose. Same cycle repeated it with a smile. Like walking for 10 years and only covered a mile. Learn from the past or just watch it all fall again. Would you play the same game if it’s impossible
win? Never fix a problem that you never try to change. But what’s the point when the outro still play the same? What’s a chain around a neck when we still living in chains? What’s another year of struggle when
we numb to every pain? 365 in the life. Jamie died by a knife. Jacobs was a genius O.D.ed on his vice. 12’s shootin’ they ain’t reading no rights. And I got 99 reasons I ain’t sleeping at night.

The ones that really care are rare. Better learn what it is or be unprepared. When it’s to time to make a move don’t just stand and stare. A change is coming you can feel it in the air…

Boot on the face and people asking where to kiss it so I’m cooking anarchist recipes with a gang of misfits. Putting politicians on a hit list. In an existence where we held hostage by their bad decisions. The world ain’t ending it’s just dragging us a long. We playing every note wrong and think it’s the same song. That type harmony hittin’ like out of tune choirs. Invited us to dinner but the table’s on fire. Out the flames to the frying pan. Running man between the 2 steps while the giants dance. Working to live. Living to survive. Spit some blood in the shark
tank and jumped off the high dive. Climbing mountains just to see over the storming clouds. Learn a new perspective
different from the place you’re born around. Bare my soul told my melody confessions every moment I’m above ground I count it as a blessing…
