(Verse 1)

Feels like I'm running 'round in circles

Life is changing rapidly, I don't think I deserve it

I'm convinced that I was never born to be a servant

Exiting The Matrix I don't think I should be working

9 to 5 took a toll on me and got me out my mind

That's alright, I just feel a little paralyzed

Numbness to the pain had a couple people terrified

Took a couple beatings until I came to life

This shit got me crazy when I started hitting digits

I no longer am that little baby from the village

You tryna mess with me and I'll take you out of business

Empathy is gone just so you know that I'm rеlentless

I toleratеd way too long the people who would mess with me

Not necessarily aggressively but excessively

Disrespecting me - and treating me deceptively

I shouldn't have believed a single word that they were telling me

There's nothing left to lose 'cause you've taken everything from me

You're no longer an enemy, the only enemy is me

And I'll be yours if you keep playing with my sanity

We're drifting way too far apart, I'm incomparably

The internet made it too easy to block others out

Let's play another round - and then another round

It'd be way too easy to respawn inside reality

The only weakness that I ever had was mortality

I don't give a fuck about it, you could never mess with me

Everything you've done to me - fading into memory

I think it's time for me to cut this crap, restart this shit

Incomprehensible, I see you zoning out of it

Everybody's well aware that I just might be capable

Of doing whatever the fuck I want, it's attainable

The freedom to do everything, travel anywhere I want

Spending every single second with the people that I love

But you don't see it you don't get it you don't care about it

You rather work until you're 80 and then drop dead out it

Shit is crazy to me, life has so much more to offer

So I grab the pen, to finally become the author

Of my life - all this time I've been wasting recklessly

Playing with my destiny I'm deserving the penalty

You tread on me too heavily but are lacking integrity

I dreadfully await the day that you drop dead eventually

I'm building up complexity simply out of necessity

Fuck your infidelity for just turning your back on me

Watch out for a comeback unless you want a surprise

The only L I take is when I'm talking shirt size

But it's all good now, I'm not in here to take revenge

- But to tell you that you're not a real friend

I made amends, you play pretend because you thought I'm caving in

Keep spreading lies about me, you gon' see what's happening

Suffering from Snowflake Syndrome, they don't even know what hit 'em

I don't see the competition, way too far gone on a mission

You are just the opposition ignoring my proposition

I've been getting nothing done - feeling like a politician

Time to develop ambition, I'm a limited-edition

I inherited precision - but not to raise suspicion

Syllables my ammunition, I am here for demolition

I just need some recognition 'cause I am the definition

Of a spitter, not a quitter and I'm here now

It's become clear how ya'll wanted a teardown

Bitches were talking and it's difficult to hear now

Kill the noise, make 'em pay, leave 'em in the rear now

I paid the price to make a life - you're not to take it from me

Strange advice you followed now you feel the need for preying on me

But I don't care - you better be backin' up

Stop talking to me - because I've had enough

(Interlude: Morpheus)

Let me tell you why you're here...

You're here because you know something

What you know you can't explain, but you feel it

You felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world

You don't know what it is, but it's there

Like a splinter in your mind - driving you mad

It is this feeling that has brought you to me

Do you know what I'm talking about?

Do you want to know what it is?

The Matrix is everywhere, it is all around us, even now in this very room

You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television

It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth

That you are a slave, Neo

Like everyone else you were born into bondage, born into a prison

(Verse 2)

When we are born we are just forced to live within this system

All immune to criticism, say it's good - I think it isn't

In addition, you are forced to do things that you wish you didn't

Looking for a way out but you're doubting your own intuition

Like you can't do it alone, and you get thrown in a hole

But everybody should know, that that ain't nothin' you chose

Like there is no place called home but I want you to behold

The rising sun at the horizon painting mountains in gold

And everything can lose its meaning for a single second

Shit can happen but I chose to carry on and be a legend

Leave a message and I'll get back to you eventually

- I guess I won't, 'cause I'll be sensing jealousy

The people that I don't deserve have now left me for good

I left some scars but today I am ready to foot

The bill and add a tip because they are deserving it

I may admit the way I've been has been too inconsiderate

The only thing I've done was fucking up consistently

Just another mystery because I'm done officially

It's leaving my proximity, I'm not flaunting indignity

I'm pausing it deliberately, it's haunting me so viciously

It's like a nightmare that I don't know how to wake up from

But gotta deal with every night until the break of dawn

I'll dodge every single fucking bullet that was meant for me

While you're aiming anxiously I'll be rapping tremendously

Potentially aggressively, I'm feeling like I'm Mazikeen

We run into each other and I'll only see you panicking

What the fuck is happening, I don't know how I'm managing

The situation that I'm in although it has been capturing

The attention of some people, not overlooked like a steeple

You don't know a lot about me like I am a fire beetle

I've been keeping something secret, you don't know how much I needed

Everybody to go nuts, just to stay undefeated

Always thought I couldn't lose, writing while I'm drunk again

Everybody that I knew - you don't know how much it meant

Just to know you on my journey, you don't know how much it hurt me

Just to let you go, you really meant a lot to me

Possibly too much, but possibly never enough

But you wouldn't know, nobody's callin' the bluff

I would never know - what it's like fallin' in love

Everybody would just end up consciously left in the dust

I don't give a fuck, because they never show compassion

All I ever wanted was a little bit of understanding

Tolerance and respect seemingly go out of fashion

Blood, sweat, tears and scars I was never undemanding

But I also know that I should be held accountable

For everything I did, it's become undoubtable

That I'm deserving of everything that's been happening

Maybe for the past 24 years I've been practicing?
