[Intro: The Thought]

BLAQKNOIZ, yo, yo

[Verse: The Thought]

This is culture, this is human expression

This is fighting tooth and nail just to make an impression

We the soldiers, we the compass direction

We the anxious creatives, tryna conquer depression

This an art form, this an education for free

This an imperfection, so they got some mocking for me

We the platform, we the documentary three

We the drug-addicted, cause they been ignoring our pleas

Who gon' stand up? who gon' come for our necks?

Who gon' designate a rape out of consensual sex?

Now they pissed off? now they speak from the chest?

Now they organized, and rioting and triggered by text

This is awkward, this is taboo to speak

This is clipping your wings so you stay flapping your beak

We the paupers, we the priests in the creek

We the predatory planet that devours the meek, ay, yo

[Hook: Jonnie Bars]

Stimulate the conscious, though

Understand the process, yo

It's all about your mindset

Living out these rhymes I wrote

I need that reminder, yo

Yo, ay, yo, ay, yo

Manifest the shine that glows

Edison defined it, yo

Prove it with your knowledge!

Ideas over time will grow

But that system don't play kind, you know

Stick together, they can't stop it

[Verse: Jonnie Bars]

Self-sabotage being abolished

A la mode, peep how the style switch

She "Sapio-", no fellatio

She give me brain when I need knowledge

I be Almighty as the dollar

A Demi-God, I thank my momma

Felt evils rooted from my father

Them ego trips, a harsh reminder

To delete some bad habits so my journey doesn't follow

Learning curve, just discerning worth, working for tomorrow

Preparation made today, word to the Carpe Diem

Open to peace, with hopes it's willing to stay, but still

[Hook: Jonnie Bars]

Stimulate the conscious, woah

Understand the process, though

It's all about your mindset

Livin out these rhymes I wrote

I need that reminder, yo

Yo, ay yo, ay, yo

Manifest the shine that glows

Edison defined it, yo

Prove it with your knowledge

Ideas over time will grow

But that system don't play kind, you know

Stick together

[Verse: The Thought]

This is progress, this is blood in the gutter

This is brandishing your weapon cause you're hearing the mutters

We the contest, we the light in your shutter

We the massacre, of butterflies before they can flutter

This a conquest, this a cultural blender

This a revolutionary definition of gender

We the tauntine, we the Ethos of Bender

We the unrequited love, you been returning to sender

Who gon' cock back? Who gon' blast on the cops?

Who gon' hit the streets when the hat starts to drop?

Now they weakened, now they boarding their shops?

Now they hiding out in terror and hoarding their crops?

This is suspect, this is shameful to say

This is raising up your taxes while they docking your pay

We the success, we the end of your days

We the innkeepers, how you plan on earning your stay?

I'm saying

You better think again
