[Verse 1]
Matter of fact, no fact, no matter
Who do you suspect, who is not afraid to die?
Who would tell such a lie?
Who runs away, who do we fear?
[Verse 2]
Somebody just like you gonna rape and strangle you?
Would you mutilate yourself?
And who would be so shocked by the brutal murder of a killer?
Will there be hundreds mourning for you?
Will they talk of the talent and inspiration you gave?
No, who besides your mother will stand in sorrow at your grave?
[Bridge 1]
Mother may I?
Momma mia
I'll see ya
I'll see ya
I'll see ya
I can't see
I can't see
I can't see
I can't see
It's dark here
No direction
Just aggravation
Aggravation over losing you
To who?
No justice, no clue
[Chorus]
And the core of this agitation is my aggravation
Yeah, the core of this agitation is my aggravation
I come down and upon desperation
I crawl inside and look out
Look out, look out
I can't see, I can't see, I can't see
[Verse 3]
Some things don't come full circle, circle, circle
Pace, pace, pace, we walk in place
No fact, no matter
Society did this to you?
Does society have justice for you?
Well if not, I do
[Chorus]
Because the core of this agitation is my aggravation
Yeah the core of this agitation is my aggravation
I come down and upon desperation
I crawl inside and look out
I can't see, I can't see, I can't see, I can't see, I can't see
[Outro]
Society did this to you?
Does society have justice for you?
If not, I do
