You will have to spare no effort if you do not want to flop
If you wanna be a shepherd you will have to leave the herd
Living in the biggest kennel you will never feel at home
Running on the longest leash any dog’s under control

I prayed and nothing happened
I still see the streets with hungry children
I dreamed and nothing happened
I still see cities running by villains
I prayed and nothing happened
I see no angels, but fallen women
Selling dem freedom threatened by famine
Evil within them stroking dem egos

I’m following a pride to gratify my hunger
I’m swallowing my pride, sick and tired ah starving
I’m falling down and down, I’m in the gutter
I’m getting drowned and drowned, blood in the water

I’m hitting bottom, can see nothing
I know the place, I am in trouble
I’m digging myself in the deepest hole
I’m hiding myself from the outer world
Enough of patterns, too many models
Not all dem ladders lead us to heaven
Enough of leaders with broken promises
There’s no honesty in their policies

I prayed and nothing happened
I look in mirrors reflecting demons
I dreamed and nothing happened
Sitting at home, fretting, like I'm in prison
I prayed and nothing happened
No one to speak with, I’m stuck in limbo
Inside my head above can’t see a halo
Only dark nimbus, gone out of window

You’re right reflection is ugly
I’ve learnt perception is false
Every night depression hits roughly
Underworld connection is lost
I’m blind or vision is blurred
I’m bound, submission is full
Frame oh mind, a bag of nerves
Underground, I’ve met my doom

Break away from the paradigms
Don’t forget to open your eyes
Don't run away and realise
It's time to leave a fool's paradise
