Yo it's like there's something in the water, how the hell did we get here?
And ignorance is growing, but it's blowing up next year
They saying 'dumb it down' but then you losing the message
We breathing stupidity, motherfucker I'mma choke 'til the air clears and
It's never over when you figured they done yet
Coz thinking for themselves is too big of a concept
They rarely read a book and what they seeing is truth, damn
Hot for gossip columns and believing the newsman
Yeah, it's like most of the world just slide through life
Shit, watch zeitgeist or peep some david icke, christ
It really ain't that hard
And fuck school, information is freely available if you want it
I'm a staunch new age intelligence advocate
Raping corporate havens and we selling it back to them
Man take advantage, a time when effing up is standard
There's something to gain from all the damage
And people step on up and pay attention
It's worth it, I don't spend time, I invest it
Cheques for slave labour, no hater we dough raisers
With a penchant for fatter pay packets that don't change us
Slow ain't ya? Yeah
But opportunity's available for those with they eyes open to take it
Eh, this a final boarding call for the future
Oh and mind your step coz that last one's a doozy, come on widdit
I'm good by myself, coz I don't need noone else
Everyone's the same, happy to work like slaves
I'm not scared of change, I'll embrace it 'til the end of my days
My head high, on my grind, save myself from the world tonight
Noone will keep me down, I will put up a fight
And I will never cry no more inside
And I will make something of my life
I'll prove you wrong coz tonight is the night
It's the new me that you see, I know it's hard to believe
You and me, together, let's make this change forever
I'm good by myself, coz I don't need noone else
Everyone's the same, happy to work like slaves
I'm not scared of change, I'll embrace it 'til the end of my days
My head high, on my grind, save myself from the world tonight
Uh, lemme talk on this, movement fam!
It makes you wonder, don't it? We really must've blown it
Sold the world for donuts but still walkin' round like we own it
Racists, misogynists, reign in the populace
Insane when hip hop's representin' for the homophobics
Am I better myself? Started rapping as a way to try and better myself
Now we acting like the message is a bonus, say something worth sayin'
And they call you conscious like we're s'posed to be in comas
Man it's time to take onus now, who we kiddin'
We ain't artists, we're just pin-ups for consumerism
Take a sec, improve your vision, all you gotta do is listen
How you see the light depends which way you're lookin' through the prism
Ain't just dudes in prison under supervision
We're livin' in a system where money's the only true religion
Yo it's obvious they screw with your head
Have any colour you want, long as it's blue or it's red
So you better be colourblind, you understand?
Man there's gotta be some other kind of fuckin' plan
Banks are hungry for that capital like budapest, somebody call unicef
They'll trade your human rights 'til there's no human left
Don't let 'em diminish your intellect
When liberal means conservative that's politically incorrect
So either take it or be part of the fight
But if I'm gonna save myself then I'm starting tonight, come on!
I'm good by myself, coz I don't need noone else
Everyone's the same, happy to work like slaves
I'm not scared of change, I'll embrace it 'til the end of my days
My head high, on my grind, save myself from the world tonight
