[Verse 1] A couple men walk on a path to destruction. Theyre only serving a function Set by the government above them suffering and hustling, baited along by consumption You think you can eat with your liquid? Thats like trynna earn love from a mistress Feeding yourself is the motive but your feeding yourself to the belly of the sphinxes Illusion surrounds the economy. No democracy cos the states a monopoly But where do the theories end? Paranoid thoughts mean I need a lobotomy Im trynna touch conscious but Im scared of the monsters Everything I know could be nonsense! Im hearing them tell me its obvious Making me sick to the rear of my tonsils Wake up ! ...and Im sweating, tears in a stream on my cheeks, Im a state cuz! So Im always awake now Out in the city past the hours of the morning when the train runs Bags of the sensi, fuck a state census, smoke till my eyes look offensive Reading books by philosophers apprentice, build up plans while Im currently inventive Whats the incentive? The republic is feasible, try to be reasonable Gucci surrounding your waist like a visa to luxury life, so they flock like the sheep to it Money then women then power? The worlds never been that basic Knowledge is key. Open the door and escape from the Matrix [Interlude The Matrix sample] Do not try and bend the spoon That is impossible Only try to realise the truth There is no spoon There is no spoon? Then you will see that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself [Verse 2] As I walk on a path to ascension, Im a product of my environments My perspective could mar my attention but Im closer than most to enlightenment Concepts used to be wired to my mind frame, but Ive ripped out most of the plugs I was blissfully ignorant about Zion thought I was doomed to be posted a thug! Now Ive got the world at the base of my palm Ive been scheming The poor fire shells like its Mario Kart Ive been feeding We live in line with the pigs like its animal farm Ive been reading When Im smoked I could take off a cannibals arm Ive been feasting! My knowledge is minimal As Im hitting the spiritual I see that nothings dismissible Close to the pinnacle I see that physical power alone is just pitiful A weak man armed with control of his senses can control his events If faced with a foe whos only control is the strength in his arms Then the sense will protect him I analyse pain then I gravitise gain, start on the route to longevity Life on the paradise plain isnt advertised, you need faith in the final prosperity Currencys king but monarchys superficial Knowledge is power and noones called for dismissal [Interlude 2 The Matrix sample] As you well know, appearances can be deceiving Which brings me back to the reason why we are here Were not hear because were free Were here because we are not free
