[Verse 1]

I exist out of the necessity of balance

For the human condition that takes pleasure being backwards

Accepting the cure was so readily apparent

But prevention was better than the remedy that hasn't

The empathy gathered until it ended in distraction

Was the truth in all likelihood we'll never see it happen

But 'clever seeing patterns' is what made hope...

This is the lecture being challenged by the apprentice of Plato

The fortune halo, force of a volcano

I don't just talk the walk because I say so

I was talking the walk in thought, before the shape chosen to make spoken words display as phrase quotes

Meaning, as the saying goes

So it is written, so to shall they make it so

So it was written so to shall they make it known

I'm just working until I make it home


[Hook]

Work hard so was given a chance that most people will never see in life

And through a man's wealth, I could manage the world, but in return for the paperwork I sign

It said that none should ever jeopardise my freedom and to take out anyone that tried, why?

An out-taker, paper with no leeway, the contract worker with the briefcase


[Verse 2]

That's why we fight for the bothers born all stars

Fast forward past, there's no rewind, pause, start

They're playing the wrong type of score card, player its time that more pass the poor class

Mmm the other thoughts start Guy Fawkes mask juggernaut, touring the upper floor on a war path

Black panther, repeated like a mantra

Black panther, black panther in every line of the stanza

Reverse sacrilege if I die it's as an activist

That's irrespective to damage of the spine or cancer

The 10 commandments without the final answer, like

Thou shalt not exist if you tie my hands up!

Living the 2 shades that describe the panda

When told to live a life either die or man up

The type of anger born from implying handcuffs

And the one fist designed to stand up


[Hook]


[Verse 3]

It's like I fully believe in everything that I just said

Everything that I just said, I believe in it fully

Most people controlled just believe what they're told

And when it bleeds from their soul, that's as deep as a it could be

But I see in them the things that represent:

What sheep is to hoody, what fleece is to woolly, bow peep without woody

What weakness and cowardice, people in power need people to bully

No evil can shush me

What angered the world that kept hanging itself with the lever and pulley

No evil can shush me

The anger that helped to stop man as the healthiest being it could be

The freedom there should be, I believe in the cause

And everything that I just said, I believe in it all

The speakers thoughts on their knees as they crawl

Was no means for my people to fall that's just not cool


[Hook]
