[Verse 1]
Do you believe in the energy of the positive?
Could we find peace in the money we depositing?
Could we incept change in the minds of the conservatives?
Or would we accept all verdicts like 'affirmative, roger'?
Arent we all guilty that we know but we don't bother?
Like "whatever man, if you're clubbin tonight, holla"
But yea i get it, you gotta make that dollar
I've changed too; wannabe tupac but a slave to the collar
A slave to the comma, asleep in the matrix
Would we wanna wake up you kinda like being in the slave ship
Forward all seminars, i'm taking off in the spaceship
Wanna see neon in the skies - you can't buy that with a pay slip
Real talk, money ain't the villain
We tryna make a livin' but greed does the killin'
Day by day, week by week, year by year
Say what you say, wikileaks - still deaf ears
[Chorus]
Take the world off my shoulder, it's not worth the weight
Boy i'm growing older, i'd like to stand up straight and face my creator with my chin up
Wash the dirt off my hands before i touch my plate
I'm not getting any younger, i'd like to stand up straight and face my creator with my chin up
[Verse 2]
I've been debating with the man in the mirror
Say if i ain't getting mine, then he ain't getting his neither
Step out of the shadows, i can stand that sun
I was moulded in fire, i can stand that burn
Ganesa as my witness, nirvana in my wishlist
I ain't no gautama though but i'm close by couple inches
No jimmy choos, no one can walk in me shoes
Taking no cues from fools, i choose to walk spiritual
That's my path so, with god i collabo
Not mase of jaz-o but i do dig fiasco lupe
We men grow up, don't pull a cool j
Get your money right, life ain't got no food-aid
But it's not too late, wanna play gulf like kuwait
My forte is truth, so to the truest, touche
Someday, someway, i'll get to ride with god alone, nobody else - coupe
[Chorus]
Take the world off my shoulder, it's not worth the wait
Boy i'm growing older, i'd like to stand up straight and face my creator with my chin up
The only thing certain in this life is death
We could love, learn, forgive and live in this play, but Macbeth…
The curtains close when you’re done, no control of what happens in the dark, Phantom of the opera – god
