CHORUS: (Mathematik)

It was I (it was I) it was I (it was I)

It was I

Son to the one and visual to the "I"

Wrongly taught that Jah lives in the sky

Mislead to believe the gifts I retrieve

We've all conceived through the eye

CHORUS: (Boom)

It was I

Born alone into a world of true lie

Wrongly taught that life ends when you die

Mislead to believe all can achieve

Trust while we still breed different tribe

Mathematik & Boom:

Son I'm tryna live the life to attain in excess

(Being the work that what they disperse is seemingly less)

We're on the earth to be fertilized

(And sprout into eternity)

Yo, the life I live is like false activity

Eventually, it could be atomic energy

(Defending me), until the planet sees the end of me

(Potentially offended when I get in it)

We'll go with one single manifest thought, getting caught inside

Mistaken lessons professing and sessions of false justice

Being it's just us, i'll buy trust, yo what's this

Boom:

Defining through rhyming indeed meaning what trust is

Believe in me, for a liability of substance

Man, objects, or land in your circumference

I'm confident, expectation that the one fits

(Definite)

So I'm setting it, start forgetting it

You deceive to believe trust is a measurement

No man kinds predicate, make no mistake

Yourself fate that you better get

Relying on the next only projects the eminent

Read the blasphemy on currency they embedded it

In god we trust, until we're gods to us time will then see

How much i'll enter till then remains empty

CHORUS: (Mathematik)

It was I

Son to the one and visual to the "I"

Wrongly taught that Jah lives in the sky

Mislead to believe the gifts I retrieve

We've all conceived through the eye

CHORUS: (Boom)

It was I

Born alone into a world of true lie

Wrongly taught that life ends when you die

Mislead to believe all can achieve

Trust while we still breed different tribe

Mathematik & Boom:

You and I, brother, are most caught up

I know our level of conscience misleading into nonsense

My eyes to the sky, but really I rely on I

And the sights of my minds eye

From within, punishing, over a guilt trip, abortion they were covering

Hovering, on the topic, my optic perceive, my logic is toxic indeed

Through ability, to make thought reality, that's for me my only strategy

Some politicers be tryna trick us, rhyme kickers and fly sisters and all odd twisters

For my culture, to industrialize, we must realize, and just civilize the process, control stress

Who knows best, who I address in a flow test

Cause see the answer for those that guests, and hosts that fess are for gold shine chests, what's my role defined best?

(I'm on a world quest)

Curious, with the furious seriousness

And previous to this I laid my trust on the table

And I was aware and able, to motivate

And keep the state of how we relate stable

(Too many fables unfold) Bold if you hold

The riches you retrieve that deceive is sold

Whatever untold strength

(Taking your spirit to length)

If what you hearing, got you fearing, my impairing, I meant

(To keep your steering in line) moving straight in rhyme

(Make your visual, elliptical, rituals full time, scriptural fiends getting high off my spiritual, now imperial to free from bonds)

And all ties (and redesign this world of true lies)

So rightly teach, life we reach at the time we die

I won't deny, it was I

It was I
