2. What's a Man
|
(chorus)
What's a man doing in a time like this? Time like this?
What is a man...in a time like this? Time like this?
What's a man doing in a time like this? Time like this?
What is a man...in a time like this? Time like this?
What's a man doing in a time like this? Yourself and the earth floating on a precipice
Exponential explosion to indefinite commotion, tripping and drunk on a misconcocted potion
We want to party but the people got to heal
Many wounds still bleed and the blood is for real
Just look at the people from who's land we did steal
Yes I read history to adjust my mind, learn about the triple 6 and it's march through time
Yes it will get better but first they're gonna get worse
That's the price you pay when you perpetuate the curse
Now money and power are such the seduction
Got you walking blindly on a path to destruction
I didn't pay no taxes, didn't get no deduction...
Better that way than adding money to corruption
How does it feel to be driving your own hearse?
Nothing you can do despite the wealth in your purse
Justice - metered out by the universe. Yes I sit alone and I wait out the worse 'cause...
Destruction looms yet flowers bloom, come watch yourself destruct by the light of the moon
Destruction looms yet flowers blooom...love child will pray 'til the world goes...
(chorus)
What's a man doing in a time like this? Time like this?
What is a man...in a time like this? Time like this?
What's a man doing in a time like this? Time like this?
What is a man...in a time like this? Time like this?
Fighting constriction by the constructs of time, my mind it floats in and out of paradigm
The fog that once lifted is clarity, clarity that's rarity for those living in scarcity
People got needs to feed, creativity to breed
You can't harvest a crop 'til you plant some seeds so...
Let's plants some seeds yo (plant some seeds)
Ignorance, yes it rules the land...men sit in board rooms, construct the master plan
War, dynamic of the money and the power...from Uncle Sam's fist, many nations cower
Human rights supplanted by favored nation status
Prison and torture part of the state's apparatus
But yo, hey, that's OK, as long as the money flows
Contradict capital and you're gonna take a blow
Many voices remain shrouded in fear, when you act up out comes the riot gear
The sanctity of life has yet to be seen
State sponsered murder tries to wash the world clean
Vampires lurk behind every corner. Paranoia part of the new world order
I lift my head and give thanks to my god
I know there's forces that are greater than we are
And I lift my arms and pray to the sun...in it's fire one day we shall all become one
And a one and a one and...
(chorus)
What's a man doing in a time like this? Time like this?
What is a man...in a time like this? Time like this?
What's a man doing in a time like this? Time like this?
What is a man...in a time like this? Time like this?
Shock the world. Shock it. Shock the world. Shock the world with your love
Destruction looms yet flowers bloom, come watch yourself destruct by the light of the moon
Destruction looms yet flowers blooom...love child will pray 'til the world goes...boom
