lyrics

Hook:
This is simply idiocy married to reciprocity
sibilant soliloquies marching with animosity
Lets burn these effigies and sing an ode to epiphanies
And put an end to this era of getting props via infamy

1st Verse
I hear so many rappers call down the name of god
Then rise from the pew and slang crack rocks on their lawn
I guess I missed that verse in the bible or the quran
Now the sanctity of religion has been wrapped into a bomb

You think you're a savior cause you hustle instead of labor
right beside the people you exploit while chasing your paper
Heroes aren't defined by making product into profit
Nor by the number of guns you have locked inside your closet

I see cats scrapping across the map of this continent
If you fight to look tough you ain't nothing but incompetent
And how come you fucks are all in love with these guns
When we all agree they're responsible for killing our young

2nd Verse
I'm not tough immortalize myself with a pen
Never been a thug why got more than pride to defend
I trust in my friends never in some out dated book
And what I say in the verse isn't contradicted in the hook

You took what you never gave all you ever gave was sorrow
You raped the community thinking it'd be shipshape tomorrow
If you don't wanna lead then never follow a leader
Who only wants to lead because he knows that you will follow

No sheep no shepards just lepers and kings
good days bad weeks and everything in between
good jobs bad pay and some fucked up dreams
Preparing us for dawn and what that new day brings
