(Chorus)
What's a life when you’re dying just to stay alive?
On my grind on my grind until the day light
It's not alright the lie to you in plain sight
Trying not to hate life, fighting off the slave mind
(Verse 1)
When you gonna realise?
When you gonna realise you been lied to your whole life?
When you gonna realise you ain't the one controlling your own mind?
When you gonna perceive the light that can’t be seen with both eyes?
Are we gonna stand for this?
Whole game's rigged and it's scandalous
Fuck the system, dismantlе it
I'm in the crib with a plan and a candle lit
Becausе these man have got a plan for us
Following the same old manuscript
Sadomasochistic practices stop the ride because I can't handle it
It's an acid trip and you trapped in it
I'm too tapped for this it ain't natural
The food’s cancerous and I ain’t having that but this habitat is just happening
This planet spins with my family in are you happy here
I can't stand it here you rambling about standing up
You’re just mannequins you ain't man enough
You ain't mad enough or been scammed enough
It's like you really want big brother scanning ya with it camera while masses are being massacred by these massive cunts
I’m looking around like what have we become
Just another bunch of greedy fucks
I need TV to keep me dumb
You can buy my CDs and see these nuts
Nobody ever said it was gonna be easy, we knee deep in faeces but we need each other
From another world this realm ain't a 3D one I'm ET brother
Say what I mean do what needs be done
I heard these MCs wanna beat me up but I don't give a fuck if it 3 vs 1 I'm a sub machine to a BB gun let's go
(Chorus x2)
What's a life when you're dying just to stay alive?
On my grind on my grind until the day light
It's not alright the lie to you in plain sight
Trying not to hate life, fighting off the slave mind
(Verse 2)
Round 2 never been out to do harm to no one but I'm about to
I'm bound to wake up some of the weak ones around who freeze up whenever police come surround you
We ain't running like we got feet stuck in clown shoe
You ain't fucking me even if you knew how to the demons following me round can vouch
Don't make me pull a machine out the pouch shoot anybody doubting me allow the clout
Move anything boxes bars pounds and ounces mountains anything to get out this town
Got loud on loud on loud on loud I'll announce it now while the albums out
They say you won't find money growing on trees it's funny I found money growing out the ground
In the council house I was down and out the heating didn't work and the power's out
I was tryna manifest me a thousand pounds swearing that I gotta make it out some how
Need a mic an a booth and a few late nights
I don't subscribe to this new way of life
Every demographic in a true slave mind
Living in the new age ain't a humane time
Doomsday coming get your boots laced tight
Get a suitcase fuck a two way flight
On a crusade to educate mic conscious rap this a Lupe vibe
The monster's back it's new day got a screwface cos sometimes I do hate life
Got ambition and a mind that's ticking can't become another slave I'm alive and kicking it's Mic
(Chorus x2)
What's a life when you're dying just to stay alive?
On my grind on my grind until the day light
It's not alright the lie to you in plain sight
Trying not to hate life, fighting off the slave mind
