lyrics

Livin in this pestilence
Prison of the present tense
Criminally negligent
I fear for what it represents
They're ignoring the evidence and we explore it with eloquence
Estranged by the sane, left to the elements
But when I speak of it they question the relevance
It's a touchy subject, it gets hella tense
But on that stance, I won't break and I've never bent
My chest is dense, wearing a heavy heart
They're keeping us in the dark
Don't let me start
They steady shark, existence is carnivorous
We're just living as victims of y'all's ignorance
All idiots and I don't claim to be above
I just wanna eat some grub and show my people love
On the humble, having trouble keeping up
Livin in a bubble, powerful, but weak as fuck

The pestilence, the hard headed never learn
Its my testament till those burn
Play my position in the pestilence

Dying in this pestilence
Trying different medicines
Force fed to the youth, stifling intelligence
Finding all the evidence, frightened by the precedence set
While the titans get excitement from our detriment
They feign benevolence, but never was the good guy
Could save the world, but instead of that, they stood by
And watched the hood try to very little avail
You try to move forward, but they're just pulling your tail
Or put him in jail for reasons they wouldn't detail
Or murder a motherfucker so they wouldn't prevail
And they're good with the veil
Known for the cover up
They huddle up to keep your brother stuck
What the fuck
Life sucks in the pestilent place, but now we're used to how the medicine tastes
We're running in circles and they're setting the pace
If I see one of them devils, spitting dead in his face
