[Intro]
Yeah, listen up, yo,
Philosophy’s the language, power’s the game,
We rise like phoenixes, but never for fame.
[Verse 1]
Walkin’ through the shadows, I ponder the lives,
People chasin’ power while the world slowly dies.
Greed is a poison, and the honey tastes sweet,
But that bitter sting, man, it cuts so deep.
Chasin’ dreams in the dark, thinkin’ I gotta compete,
But the struggles remind me, gotta stay on my feet.
Philosopher's wisdom in every ounce of pain,
It ain’t about the gold, but the knowledge we gain.
[Pre-Chorus]
So don't trip on the surface, dive deep in the sea,
You only get out what you put in, just like a tree.
Plant a seed with your thoughts, watch it grow into light,
Life’s a book of lessons, learn to write it right.
[Chorus]
You don’t always get what you want,
You get what you need,
Live for the moment, not for the greed.
Steal honey from a bee, expect to get stung,
Find a cause to believe, let your freedom be sung.
[Verse 2]
In the matrix of existence, don’t be blind to the stands,
Question the intentions, understand the hands.
Power without purpose, like a ship without sails,
Waves of discontent, hear the truth in the gales.
What’s life without struggle, what’s power without fight?
You ain't really livin’ till you’re reachin’ for the light.
Burn the greed like a candle, illuminate the way,
If you ain't got a dream, then live for today.
[Pre-Chorus]
So don't trip on the surface, dive deep in the sea,
You only get out what you put in, just like a tree.
Plant a seed with your thoughts, watch it grow into light,
Life’s a book of lessons, learn to write it right.
[Chorus]
You don’t always get what you want,
You get what you need,
Live for the moment, not for the greed.
Steal honey from a bee, expect to get stung,
Find a cause to believe, let your freedom be sung.
[Bridge]
If you haven’t found something that you're ready to die for,
You never lived, as the old sages implore.
Power is a vision, not a throne or a crown,
Stand for what is right, and let your spirit abound.
[Outro]
So rise with the dawn, light up the dark night,
Philosophy and power, raise your voice, take flight.
Feed the fire of your mind, let your spirit set free,
Remember all you need is the will to just be.
