[Intro] Lead us not into temptation But deliver us from evil For thine is the kingdom Power and the glory forever [Verse 1] As I stare at this mirror with my eyes cherry red Wondering if this man alive or is he really dead Devil on my shoulder telling me one day Ill regret it Angel on the other saying you can make it to heaven At this point of time I believed that death brought peace Was young, naive but I still kept my peacepiece Cause even if I wanted to die I couldnt commit suicide Was born to survive Ready to die but fought to stay alive Was in grade school when I started writing compositions But was more worried at the time about the cops position Cause red, white and blue dont always mean freedom Miss Coretta down the road said we all needed Jesus Kids sold coke to cope with being broke Some claimed blood But others claimed folk Right now, Im sitting with my back against the ropes Blood all over the floor Shooting this gun is my only hope 9 bullets left, dont ask me about the other 7 Got it from Author, he tote the Mac 11 since he was 11 Rest In Peace cause hell never see 27 A victim of the systems juvenile suppression [Chorus] We gonna flip the script and make it out rich But I dont believe in fairytales No child left behind, the government is doing fine But I dont believe in fairytales Life is hard, we all living in hell here Thats why I dont believe in fairytales [Verse 2] Only picture perfect to the blinded person Pistol gripping preteens snatching up rings and purses Impersonating their fathers they never knew in person I knew my father, but now he knows me in person For the children of corn that mourn from beast forums Trapped and chloroformed in college dorms Politicians perform as Geppetto pulls their arms Arm the soldiers as theyre pulled from their mothers arms Caught in a vortex that feeds on the poor kids Who believed they were more than Pawns for the chosen Left and frozen in emotions [Outro] Vortex that feeds on the poor kids Who believed they were more than Pawns for the chosen Left and frozen in emotions [Chorus]
