[Intro] Coming to you live and clear Cant rush greatness Distraction, distraction, distraction Greenhouse Effect Vol. 2 The number one costar This what it feels like I know yall counted us out, but that was part of the plan Keep you haters on your toes [Verse 1 Asher Roth] My mind wonders if its turning obsolete Sometimes I struggle honestly with what I do believe To hook it on and look beyond and tell me what you see I see us needing what we want instead of what we need Climbing to its the peak, find the motion is exhausting Most have lost touch, still wandering regardless Dont wanna pay attention on how to make a connection When wrecking a mans treasure and throw it right in the garbage Faltered, unfathered, our fault that he didnt bother Wanted to be proud of, now challenged to think harder Longer, dig deeper, nothing has came easier Anxious and plain eager, impatient to play speaker Make em wait, teach em how to thread the needle People hating people, thats horrible trained evil On the mornings eve, be encouraged, take action Only to receive distraction, distraction, distraction, fuck What was I trying to accomplish? Non traditional, nonfictional, spit conscious Not to mention blonde friend you take shots with Or take shots at, but might bounce back And bite your ass if we ever cross paths Cause you never bother questioning the cold hard facts Ever stop to ask to get out of my head The subconscious tap like a Natty Light keg Now the thought process, coming out of my neck Spills into the palace of the fellas breaking bread Seeking balance, getting calluses instead Working hard, a valiant attempt [Chorus Erykah Badu] Told you we aint dead yet We been livin through your internet You dont have to believe everything you think Weve been programmed Wake up, we miss you [Verse 2 Asher Roth] So conflicted, my interest in this mission Tried to walk away, feeling that nobody would listen When youre always known to take the road of least resistance You have to let it go, whats a plan without a vision? So confused what to do, cant see In our food, in our news, in our sleep It intrudes through the roots of our trees Inhaled in ourselves, get impaled when we breathe If it fails we excel and retreat From the tales of the chem trails pails in the scrip Veils on the street lamps, all hail the weak While our freedom goes stale, too impaired to get free We agree to the breach through our silence No sirens, no fires and no violence More wires, more hired for their alliance More lies to hide behind so why try it? Talk about it, find people feel the same But larger conversations say people go astrained Maybe its in vain working on a better day But hey, maybe this will resonate [Chorus Erykah Badu] Told you we aint dead yet We been livin through your internet You dont have to believe everything you think Weve been programmed Wake up, we miss you [Outro] The Cannon
