Requiem

(Album: Requiem For A Dream Deferred - 2019)

So if I may start by insulting your intelligence, with what is called the most elementary lesson. The thing that we should've learned before we learned 1 through 3 and A,B,C, but somehow was overlooked.

Who the best? Who the greatest?
Who the brightest and newest?
Who the coldest? Who the dopest?
Who is missing and truant?
Under-informed and over-influenced, there's too much consuming
They wither away to nothing, we blossom, we shining, we blooming
We mining, they martyrs, we marching, they made us targets for marksman
My motive has been the same, it's to make a living, survive and prosper
Maneuver through all these traps they laid out for me to falter
Reaching farther recently, realize that I can't get caught up
These mind games that they play are straight from the mental slaughter
The lion's share that they fighting over, fortune's unfolding
The Mayan calendar saying that it's already over
They poisoning our food, is anybody really sober?
They gave us false prophets, is there even an ayatollah?
I heard it's all a simulation, there ain't nothing real
Memories on microchips, spinning 'round like a ferris wheel
We riding still, I check the mirror and double park in parallel
Whip is like a spaceship, our dimension's never parallel
Think outside the parallelogram and hexagon
Fighting with my demons, I been swinging in this octagon
Remain calm, I seen the snakes so I suggest you mow your lawn
The summer's hot so some'll plot, that's when they start to bearing arms
Like In-n-Out, just nothing new, the same thing is going on
But day by day I make improvements, some of y'all just carry on
Just an image you're reflecting on your phone
