Pain, loving you
Pain, loving you
Pain, love-
[Verse]
Rally up the troops, you heard the doves cry
Digital, we choosin' sides, the nation's polarized
Visible, you see the scars bleed deep in the heart
The wound ain't acknowledged so we're just left to testify
Imminent, you saw the bodies fall like toy soldiers and sigh
Conversations of consciousness never considered
But we praise the conscience, your Honor, the most high
When the line's been tapped all along, we just stallеd to solve it
So go ahead, I say we vandalizе the pedestal 'cus we outta options
Moral compass never weighed true to the proper axis
Entertaining minds of the youth, focused on the dollar
Distort the truth, embeddin' lies, empowerin' false prophets
Demandin' medicine, but y'all at-ing the wrong doctor
There's pride in fighting for a flag who claims it'll never falter
But all it really knew was halt conclusions in confidence
Survival of the fittest, sole message read obvious
[Samples: Bruce Lee]
Styles tend to, not only, separate man
You know, because they have their own doctrines and then the doctrines became the gospel truth, you know
That you could not change, you know
And, but, if you don't have style
You just say, "Here I am," you know, "as a human being."
"How can I express myself? Totally and completely."
Now, that way, you won't create a style, because style is a crystallization, you know, and that way, is a process of continuing growth
