Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We in the midst of calibration
Regurgitated facts lack the depth of perception we chasing
Ayo, they demonize the Haitians
Erasing vital history, bleed a needed misery
Maintain refrains, I recite straight from memory, style rudimentary
Content exemplary, life don't make no sense to me
My mind's its own entity, exists through eternity
My voice is pure energy, battered by existence
We change fundamentally, transmitting memories
Mastery of speech leaves little room for error
Retraced my final steps on initial endeavor
Would rather spark a movement than be a trendsetter
Pounds for my brethren, we all in together
Boycott these bloated fish, time to add pressure
These drastic times multiplied by drastic measures
Algebraic math casts truth numerically
Modern-day Phoenicians, they speak phonetically
Genetically, I'm prone to grow my anger exponentially
Keep testing me, see if I act sensibly
A few spit that real, but they lack the complexity
They ain't ready (They ain't ready)
They ain't ready
[Chorus]
If you ain't here to uplift, then I'm severing
Fuck the dumb shit, I ain't settling
No time for the trash that they peddling
Why the fuck would I bow when I'm better than?
If you ain't here to uplift, then I'm severing
Fuck the dumb shit, I ain't settling
No time for the trash that they peddling
Why the fuck would I bow when I'm better than?
[Verse 2]
By any metrics, been left unimpressed with they nonsense
Collectively, this species been losing consciousness
Personally, this whole world lost my confidence
And I ain't even trying to sound ominous
No need to assert dominance
Disdain for normalcy well-documented
Conformity constantly circumvented
Stand on your word and your business as if you meant it
Consider this the last sentence, next paragraph's indented
Certain situations require chin-checking
No time to decipher your mixed message
At times, the only way through, grew from resetting
It's they lack of dedication that I'm rejecting
The lesser path can always seem a bit tempting
We built for struggle
Subtle nods to those producing light, not just reflecting
We see sections interconnected
Beautiful imperfections, strength tested with tension
We the culmination of your misconceptions
Defined existence can always change with perception
Regardless of intention
The world you built can be dismantled in seconds
[Instrumental]
If you ain't here to uplift, then I'm severing
Fuck the dumb shit, I ain't settling
No time for the trash that they peddling
Why the fuck would I bow when I'm better than?
If you ain't here to uplift, then I'm severing
Fuck the dumb shit, I ain't settling
No time for the trash that they peddling
Why the fuck would I bow when I'm better than?
If you ain't here to uplift, then I'm severing
Fuck the dumb shit, I ain't settling
No time for the trash that they peddling
Why the fuck would I bow when I'm better than?
If you ain't here to uplift, then I'm severing
Fuck the dumb shit, I ain't settling
No time for the trash that they peddling
Why the fuck would I bow when I'm better than?
