(Verse 1)
I wake up in a world that’s digital, nothing is physical
Critically cynical, watching these rappers getting pitiful
They mumble a syllable, think that their status is pivotal
But lyrically, really, their talent is basically minimal.
I’m the outcast, walking with the white eyes
Seeing through the bright lies, severing the tied ties
You chase the clout, chasing the likes and the high fives
I chase the truth buried underneath the night skies.
They want the gimmicks, they don’t want the raw spillage
They want a villain who’s pillaging just to hurt the village
I’m sitting in the basement, pacing, mind is racing
Looking at this industry and all the dreams they chasing.
It’s fake, plastic, wrapped in elastic
Stretch it 'til it snaps, man, the outcome is drastic
You worship the money, the cars, and the fashion
I worship the microphone, spitting with passion!
(Chorus)
I see the world through a broken lens
I got no patience and I got no friends
I’m standing solo where the sidewalk ends
Screaming at the silence ‘til the message transcends.
(Yeah!)
It’s the ill mind, sick time, walk a thick line
Between a genius and a psycho on a decline.
I see the world through a broken lens.
(Verse 2)
Everybody’s got a platform, nobody’s got a brain
Typing out comments just to amplify the pain
Cancel culture vultures circling the drain
Driving all humanity completely insane.
I tried to find God but the signal was lost
I questioned the Bible, I questioned the cross
I paid the price, yeah, I handled the cost
Now I’m the boss of my thoughts, no longer getting tossed—
By the waves of opinion, the minions, the sheep
Who follow the trends while they act like they deep
You sow what you reap, and the harvest is cheap
A generation zombies who are walking asleep!
I’m technical, tactical, lyrical radical
Taking a break? Nah, I never take sabbaticals
I’m hopping over hurdles while you stumbling on gravel
Unravel the mystery, watch the judge slam the gavel.
Guilty! Of being the realest to do it
If hip-hop is a sewer, then I am the fluid
That flushes the garbage, I know that you knew it
I’m tearing the roof off, I already blew it!
