[Joker dialogue from The Dark Knight]

"They're schemers. Schemers trying to control their little worlds

I'm not a schemer. I try to show the schemers how pathetic their attempts

To control things really are

See their morals, their code, it's a bad joke."


[Verse 1: Isaiah $wAnK]

I remember days when I was smiling'

Wasn't relying' then on xanax and them vicodins

Never thought I'd resort my life to this violence

So instead I use this mic like it's a violin

These lyrics flow right out of me just like my wrists were slit

We all just victims in this country of imprisonment

Citizens of a universe ran by pyramids

Trapped in a big abyss, we don't know what true living' is

Walkin' tidals 12 disciples never met their idols

Though my eye dull I can still see far beyond this cycle

Life's a scratching' vinyl, might as well throw out the bible

47 rifles in trial all fighting' for survival

Lyrics metaphysical, made of abysmal syllables

Scriptural phrases all over these walls are too illiberal

This message is subliminal

Substance is reciprocals, bein' pushed by these imbeciles

And what's crazy is they fall for it

Zombies in the church fallin' for all these fake prophecies

Peace offerings ran by these fake conglomerates

Money laundering is the root of this main economy

The pain will never leave

Instead of heat I'm letting' peace flow through enemies

Mirtazapine every night so I can get some sleep

The rest of me is now resting so I can rest in peace

Passive aggressive, the past is so impressive

Brain dead citizens can't even grab attention

Daydreaming on these late nights

And I'm tryin' to go to battle with delayed knights

If you're not living a dream, then what are you living?

It's not life, life is supposed to be great

I feel like we're only unhappy because the world made us unhappy

Not because we're unhappy people, and I think you know that too


[Verse 2: Purpose432]

I remember back in the day when I would have fun

Yeah, back in the day I didn't have to roll one

But now we're in a time, where love is a crime

Indignity is ignorance, lost and divine

And our baby worried now but it's gonna be fine

When i tell myself that, am I telling a lie?

Am I speaking the truth, or am I saying it

Just to get by, just to get by

And yeah I love that girl, the type of love that felt like I had the world

Fall in love too quickly, that's usually my problem

But Imma solve 'em. Before I'm drowning under whiskey

Better find it fast, better find it quickly. That's what I keep telling myself

I'm like Kid Cudi running' through the city

I think of first, then finish last. Overconfidence got people throwing' shade

Passed the first impression way too fast, darkness covers my heart

To you, that's no possession, then she gets mad when you keep it real

But if it's fake, it's even worse

I can't win this game, so I put it in a verse

I let you know that, but what I don't know is what I really want

I know I owe myself to the man up above

But what I want, is it called love?

Or does love not exist, is it bliss compared to these late nights

If not i'm going straight to war with delayed knights
