Come on, yeah

Decades of decadence

Decades of silence

Decades of science

Decades of violence

How time flies with vengeance

They said enjoy the finest

What’s the plus minus


[Verse 1:]

Born innocent, die earnest

Looking back these decades were signs of

Hard times, steady in decline

Still we doubled down and always acted fine

These hollow words that decay in mindless

Chatter on palms and yet its the tiniest

Thorn in the side of conscience remindin’ us…

That kids on the streets are vying

For love and attention if it weren’t for vermins

On the dinner plate, we’d listen to sermons

Coming from the TV meaning their versions of the same event we saw unfurling

So many questions, sans answers

What good is school if they won’t solve cancers

In society evil spread like rumors

Grinning in pain, utter lack of humor

You said that “we wish we had met sooner”

Before the fork in the road separated us

Can’t turn back the clock its dated thus

I miss the mornings, walking on cobblestones bombs raining

Skating on rubbles

Yo what did we or can we accomplish?

Over a lifetime lid over iris

Looked the other way to a crime and accomplice

Tell a friend and now I’m the alarmist

Like, “please, don’t kill the vibe its a party y’all

We’re gonna tear the roof off and let the ceilings fall”

Debris pulverised on the ground on contact

Quiet like storefronts closed on zondag

Hand to hand as if to hold or combat

The peace that we aim to achieve, we’ve been on that

Since the beginning of this epic endeavour

Right to any topic whenever

Forever

[Verse 2:]

Yeah, uh

Five deep and still entering my prime

Not a lone prisoner biding his time

Never bite my tongue for a nickel and dime

I’ma tell it like it is its a matrix of lies

Smoke and mirrors hide the true divine

Everybody needs to getvtheir own shine bright

Does it matter if a line really rhymes

With the words before that

Its all in your mind right?

Why divide instead of multiply?

Life hack stick together tight layers of ply

Go against the grain. every day you might crack

Get a splinter on your finger so stuck, can’t pluck

Avoid kickback from the blade you better duck better yet rule of thumb man don’t press your luck

Get a wet wrap if you get a deep cut. Hermetic

It’s amazing you know how to heal if you let it

If you let it
