I used to be mad at the world because it lied to me
Then I grew tired and bored, as if it died to me
Till I learned to listen and grow, when it tried to speak
Yeh the metaphor is the world that lives inside of me
I think it's right, to be angry at society
And the senseless injustice and outright deceit
Who do we blame, education or police?
The legal or electoral game of speech
Politicians or the media that frame beliefs
So-called religions that are obsolete
Or the misguided dogmas scientists repeat
Oh yeah, the biggest fraud is false certainty
Pretend you got it on lock but you lost the key
You can't prevent the onslaught of morosity
So instead you become part of the monstrosity
Your comfort's cost is more atrocities
Cos it's a dog eat dog type universe
Where the dog is a snake called ouroboros
And the tail that he ate is the cause of all this
So how does one escape from the paradoxes?
Think it's a process involving becoming humble
Stop imposing our laws on the young and troubled
Every one of us is lost, none of us understand
How to hear the voice of the everlasting one

Hey
And I ain't got the answers
Wait, I'm really just another rapper
And maybe,
I'll open up another chapter
That could help us evolve into a better path
But yo hey
I ain't got the answers
Wait, I'm really just another rapper
And maybe, I'll open up another chapter
That could cause us to spiral out a little longer

In the body of a cis white male
Undercurrents of a fish-like snail
At the ready like a swiss knife
With the steady motion
Of a big white whale
My solution is a squid-like tale
My appearance is a bit like kale
In the bushes I can slip and trail
Or through the wide open patches
That a ship might sail, I move
But what's the purpose of the subterfuge
Does my true nature exist or is it just illusion
Am I hiding from myself or is it just from you
Or am I like a murder mystery to look for clues
What if the system is the enemy that pushed its rules
And boundaries on an entity that must refuse
And has a choice, to adapt or to be judged and shooed,
Busting loose, at best to live as one pursued
Oh ho, I'm no better and no worse than you
See we all wear a cloak that brings distance to
Our vulnerable and oppressed inner ghost of truth
That with our own thoughts we're never any closer to
So, I guess the message is to look beyond
Not to guilt trip travel all the distance calm
And not to nitpick others for their dissonance
We're all hypocrites wishing to become one

And I ain't got the answers
Wait, I'm really just another rapper
And maybe,
I'll open up another chapter
That could help us evolve into a better path
But yo hey
I ain't got the answers
Wait, I'm really just another rapper
And maybe, I'll open up another chapter
That would cause us to spiral out a little longer
