Lyrics:
Exoskeletons made out of ego cause they're spineless
Neglect to see injustice plagues society, third eye-less
It's our responsibility to open up our eyelids
And be the change we wish to see inside this burning climate
Welcome to the 21st century
A time when genuinity's a a sentiment not meant to be
Mentally, hypocrisy has led us to atrocity
Let it go and spread good vibes is my philosophy
You wonder why these people hurt you
When you want them to be hurt to
Ulterior motives and bad intentions, not to mention
Got a quota for hate, but love's what needs attention
Why isn't love engrained from the start?
People acting from a place of ego, not their heart
Doing everything they do for recognition
But the flames of great change spread from an internal ignition
And I still got a lotta resentment from my peers
Cause they see me making waves while they're just surfing through the years
Nobody wanna see me successful, but friends and family
Take away my contentment with pageantry
Obsessed with the image, but can't find sincere connection
Compassion is a distant memory beyond your recollection
Take advantage of other cause being kind is too difficult
Take a step back, that shit is pitiful
Yet you wonder why I pull away
When to assimilate is dreadful if you act this way
So I'm saving all my rain checks for a sunny day
When I'll wake up from metamorphosis and fly away!
