(Verse One)
Nah,
nah, we don't play by rules,
that's not what X would do.
Nah, we don't stand for foolishness,
'cause we ain't even schooled,
or fooled by older people,
'cause they're as naïve as children.
See, we're at the heights of freedom.
We're seen as leaders, free them.
Take it back to the days we were young,
so lost and stupidly fun.
But now we're living in a life that ain't so nice no more,
We used to be about the helping of our fellow man,
but now our fellow man's the man that's tryna kill us, damn.
Our enemies are friends, are friends are devil toys.
People they raping girls, f*ck it, they raping boys.
We're always focused on the positives of life,
now we're stuck inside our minds, struggling through our plight.
(Chorus)
They try take us down, they hate us,
but you, you know we're, here Forever.
They try take us down, they hate us,
but you, you know we're, here Forever.
(Verse Two)
We follow idols, afraid to be ourselves,
afraid to speak our minds, so instead we lie.
And act like laws are fine, and act like jobs are there,
and act like people ain't, falling in their welfare.
Now fair ain't used here,
this aint a fair world,
some shit is fair trade,
the rest's a trade fair.
So who got the best of this and,
how we're gonna take it from them,
How do we dispose of this?
And, what shall we throw upon them?
Now seven sins encase this world until we suffocate,
and we're the cause of 2012, let's get that record straight.
Now I'm not preaching but how,
can we break out in smiles if,
this world is caving in on it,
self, and we're still breaking down.
(Chorus until end)
