(she made the cartoon)

the truth is the truth is usually elusive.

it's fluid like the movement of the verses through the music,

it's crucial when you try to choose it, use your mind and kinda lose it,

find a mic and rhyme until the crimes no longer make your view sick.

accusing any loser who ain't battling the bruisers

they beating us in school and teaching us to be abusers

they feeding food to us that's glued to us and making mucus

they stitching sutures on the soul so we can build a future

all i am suggesting is that everything's empirical

i'm feeling desperate like we really need a miracle

i'm only bringing news and it is usually brutal

they keep on drinking booze and thinking that it's fully futile

we getting raised by looters

and raided by computers

we try to spit legit but if they listen they refute us

we turning up the volume - babylon will never mute us

if we stay dropping bombs daily they can never shoot us

i wanna be free i can fly i pick up the slack

doe or die i been tryna attack the whack

see i'm asking you openly uncrack the facts

for your peers so they slip slick quick past the wax

in they ears you could call 'em shackles or fears

or two dead-end careers that you keeping here

on the real i can't possibly more clear

than to simply say everybody dies from the fear of existence

try a couple years in the business,

you cry a couple tears and then give up resistance,

buy a couple beers, go outta town every christmas

listen closely i hope you don't miss this:

we are listless yes and we noticed

but if we kiss this system goodbye then we're golden

these sick civilized lies are a vise that is

tightening slowly over all of our lives

that's the truth
