Autonomic

[Verse 1]
I'm sat thinking of an opening line, best way to start this album
Ascending like a falcon bringing the courage of Malcolm
The dream of Martin, the grace of Mandela
The greatness of Muhammad Ali looking back in the mirror
Who am I? A man waiting for the world tell me?
Like a bitch fucking another guy waiting for her to bell me?
Nah, maybe when I was twenty, but never be in my thirties
This world has been trying to hurt me from early, doing the dirty
Governments and Tycoons
Corporations and World Leaders setting my rules
The fuck is up wit’ that?
Board meetings over, now they look for where the puppets at
You and me black and white, pin stripe or truckers hat
Thinking we the suckers that forever sleepwalking
Soldiers do all the shootin', Politicians do the talking
Soldiers do all the dying, Politicians say their eulogy
Sippin' Scotch on a podium, their wives flaunt their jewelry
I’m saying you ain’t fooling me, homie your world ain’t new to me
I’m autonomous, taking this opportunity
To govern my life, govern my lifestyle
So you can take away my reason to smile, but not the smile

[Chorus]
Autonomy

[Verse 2]
Self-determination, I decide who I wanna be
As long as I’m alive and I breathe then I won’t believe
These universal lies that I’m only an accessory
Just a commodity to another man's necessity
See my life as a recipe and choosing the ingredients
It don’t include obedience or full time lenience
That lifestyle's tedious
But to figure out that I cannot be owned
Man it doesn’t take a genius
Everybody see you as a label
Religion or ageism, class, sexuality or racial
Just so they can keep you in a box because they hate you
Lock you in and blame you when it’s time for them to shame you
They will, they ill, they feel they control your destiny
Cause 99 percent is not enough, they want the rest of me
But never the get the best of me
Cause God didn’t make me just so I could be a servant to your legacy
Watching you with jealously, afraid to live rebelliously
Suppressing all my truth so it’s something that you never see
I want everyone to follow me
As we put our middle fingers up and step with autonomy
Fuck that

[Chorus]
Autonomy

[Verse 3]
There are times when I sit thinking 'bout man's origination
Tell me does it match his destination
If the situation is a nation shitting on a nation
People wanna have control, they murdering, a celebration
Cause it’s all about the cash and the power
Building sky scrapers and towers and making money by the hour
Coercion and duress expands like a Durex
One eye's watching who’s now, the other looking who’s next
Everyone's a victim, imagine the masses distracted
By what the TV says is attractive
So you can look at me like just another black kid
Who holds the microphone because my education’s lacking
There’s nothing wrong about you being wrong when it’s about me
But rightfully I show you that you wrong and you just doubt me
I’m out G, cause nothing you can do defines me
So I don’t have to see me how you see me cause it blinds me
To my own life, my self worth, my existence
My ideas, my thoughts, my truth, my persistence
My right to govern myself, my own laws
My autonomy determines my life cause; pause

[Chorus]
Autonomy
