As we are bombarded by stimulus from the environment around us our senses numb
To the sound of war drums and the warning signs of what's to come down on us
We're already dead, already dust

In God we trust, take care if us
Or something like that
When a warhead splits into 55 pieces we all get hit

Like oh %#@!
My skin just melted and dripped
So did my outfit, and I just washed it

But I couldn't stop it
Everybody fights with each other all day
Narrow-minded, short-sighted, mother$#&@ers gonna pay

Went to run for cover til my cover got blown away
Now I'm standing in the driveway
I see my mom 50 yards in the distance

Covered in blisters
She was calling her sister and the line went dead
My dad was already in bed cause he had to get up and work to keep the family fed

Last thing I saw was like a flash bulb
The impact left an outline of my body on the wall
And you're fighting over a parking spot at the mall

And you spent the last five years in that cubicle
And you're so confused by life you're addicted to food
Because it soothes you for the time being

These are the times we live in
Watcha gonna do about it
Everyone is partially brainwashed

And a clean mind is easy to watch
Right now I'm caked in mud and my mental's sweaty in the crotch
And I'm hard to stop

How can we communicate with other cultures
When we feed on each other like vultures?
Slaves to impulses

Nobody deals with consequences
And we all got fences, apprehensive
And lawyers are on the offensive

Gotta put their two cents in
And come out with a Benjamin
Wanna say $#&@ the system

But it's hard to stop

I remember the day when my bright eyes faded away


The pain fades as I fade away like so many years ago
As I descended to the shadows

My world's aglow like so much nitro
Lit by some pyro that I don't even know
Would never disrespect me, had he met me

Cause if we disagree I'm hard to stop
It's all said and done, so soon I'd just begun
On a blind journey where I can't get lost

Cause my eyes are crossed and I'm walkin in circles on the train of thought
And it's better to be abstract cause people interpret you differently
See what they wanna see

Recently everybody sees me
Til a moment ago when the air explodes
Apparently I'm after the fact

Just like that
But it couldn't be stopped
And in this defining moment maybe you can finally focus

On the things you failed to notice
And what the difference is
Between being alive and being able to live

For the first time do we ever see truth
In our own mind with our own eyes
And I thought of the perfect rhyme with a hook to go

But I never made it back to the studio
The tiniest thing can bring down the mightiest king
Cause a crown can bling but it won't save you

From the sound I bring
Welcome to O Top's awakening
You can bet that I'll make hip-hop with the time I got

And it'll be hard to stop
What goes through your mind and what stays in it for a hot minute?
Long enough for you to process the ridiculousness of what gives you stress

I am willing to bet that you tend to forgive and forget in this moment of death
I'm holding my breath; cause the air today is poisonous
How did it come too this?
Everything was perfect
Everything was perfect

How did it come too this?

I remember the day when my bright eyes faded away
