Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You feel that?
That's the sound of the kids
With no fucks to give
With no luck for shit
'Cause they didn't grow up as rich
That's the sound
That's the sound
[Verse 2]
That's the sound of **** locked in the pen
Doin' a bid with more time than they should give
That's the sound of an oppressed nation
Tired of chasin' villains that don't go no faces
That's the sound of a nation that don't got no patience
For faux proclamations
[Verse 3]
Warlocks in churches and sacred locations
The sheriff's a klans man, the judge is a mason
Not to be bias and knock what your faith is
But how do I trust my own country and state
That's more loyal to satan than they own occupation?
[Verse 4]
The system is rigged, if I vote will I change it?
Greed with consume us with no moderation
Blamed for a beast I'm not sure I created
I'm not sure I'm created
Like I'm inside a game I'm not sure that I'm playing
[Verse 5]
It's a whole operation
Whether it's real or whether they staged it
Shit get so tense when I go out to places
If I fuck around and sneeze in the air, I could break it
[Verse 6]
And people feel so violated
You feel what I'm feelin' before I could say it
'Fore I could step in the studio to lay it
I know what my role is, I know I ain't basic
[Verse 7]
But I guess the truth must hurt
I guess that's why they butt hurt
All the secrets that I unearth
No stone left unturned
[Verse 8]
To learn to fly, you gotta jump first
I touched the sky, that's why I'm sunburnt
I change a life in only one verse
[Verse 9]
Welcome to the seventh pinnacle
Somewhere between the metaphysical and hella spiritual
I've seen hell and hell is digital as well as visual
Hell is how they did the aboriginal
Hell is when the innocent get murdered
And they don't arrest the criminal
[Verse 10]
Oh my, oh my God, oh my God, take the steering wheel
For I have done something I didn't intent to do, no interviews
Pacing in my living room
[Verse 11]
B.o.B. what's gotten into you?
You wilin', you fan of the shit like you're invincible
People always ask me, geese, why you still livin', dude?
Shit, I wonder why I'm livin' too
[Verse 12]
Why I'm livin' too
Why I'm livin' too
Say what's wrong with me?
Shit, what's wrong with you?
[Verse 13]
'Cause me, I'm feelin' good
Me, I'm in my zone
I look up in the sky
I know this can't be home
[Verse 14]
And I know I ain't alone
They try to take your home
They try to sway the week
And they try to break the strong
[Verse 15]
But I'm not a quitter
God's child, not God's dinner
Oh God, I'm Godzilla
Try to plot, I'll make the plot thicker
[Verse 16]
See, the middle class got a lot slimmer
And the upper class got a lot richer
They want a revolt
They want you to riot
They want you to try it
They wanna provoke us to keep us divided
But the people are no longer quiet
[Verse 17]
They say, B.o.B., they gon' take you out if you keep rhyming this way
Ha, I say fuck it, we all gonna die anyway
