[Verse 1] Forget about the interviews and the many views Forget about the industry and the silly feuds Im deep inside the peoples minds trying to seek and find The only thing that really matters, what you leave behind You look to the charts, the media to measure me You shoot for the single, Im playing for my legacy Fuck an award, if it aint for changing the world then I dont want it no more Ill burn a bridge just to open a door Scratch an itch just to open a sore Lets pack a swisher, just flow and record We no longer ignored So before you ask, its all for the music ...the result of my past, the cause of my future It will no longer last as long as our hubris The movement, should be knowledge and how we pursue it Until then, were lucky to tread water With broken sons and emotionally dead daughters Keep the daddies, theyre looking for rare fathers The only ones still left strong enough to dare bother Outside looking for someway in Bringing with me a generation of unraised kids ...and you have a harder time thinking they exist But dont have a problem with believing the creation myth? ...dont plead to me, you should take the fifth Cause you wont know just what youre spending til you pay for it [Hook] Lets get together minds like we did before In this endeavor, time is whats getting short Its now or never, let rhyme help us steer the course Lets give a future that our grandchildren will endorse The only matter, the line when you know the score What makes you think a closed mind Could help you open doors Every album I create I want to show the world Its hard to sell em on a first when youre on the fourth [Verse 2] This is an example of translational motion More flow than a basin, river, lake or ocean Type II should be an ancient notion But its not, we scratching at .8 just hoping The world doesnt go pop like corn kernels How many more entries you got in your journal? ...Youre distracted by the sex appeal Me? The infinitesimal rotation of vector fields The seventh seal isnt heaven revealed Its you testing it, everybody ready to build A new reference Sever the old and new testaments That just got the best of the fools who accepted it The lesson is No one has a monopoly on the truth Not a church, a god, a party, not even you ....we need you to paint the canvas And help us plug the holes of our own understanding [Hook] Lets get together minds like we did before In this endeavor, time is whats getting short Its now or never, let rhyme help us steer the course Lets give a future that our grandchildren will endorse The only matter, the line when you know the score What makes you think a closed mind Could help you open doors Every album I create I want to show the world Its hard to sell em on a first when youre on the fourth [Verse 3] This isnt the end its just an event like the beginning Anybody claiming they get it is just pretending Ill tell you this, if creativity is infinite The truth is the allowance allotted and how you spend it And not about how you meant it Im not going through all of this shit And not leaving an imprint ...to quit this in a fit is senseless I meant it when I said no spit then wrists slit But you still tried to recruit me in your shady cult I refused, now Im the leader of the slave revolt ...dispatch your legions to quash the rebellions The punishment that we face, our arms and legs nailed in ...talking secretly of peace Watching great speakers often thinking it was me Dont speak of defeat, it sabotages victory Go and learn what you need, to satisfy the mystery [Hook] Lets get together minds like we did before In this endeavor, time is whats getting short Its now or never, let rhyme help us steer the course Lets give a future that our grandchildren will endorse The only matter, the line when you know the score What makes you think a closed mind Could help you open doors Every album I create I want to show the world Its hard to sell em on a first when youre on the fourth
