lyrics

VERSE ONE
Working like a slave to the government, even though it’s crumbling
Selling myself, I agree to the covenant
Never knew another life, or another dream
Get the cream, got a Wu tang to my veins
Taught how to walk, never taught to balance
Stop at road blocks, too fed up to challenge
Fired my soul cuz the cold is savage
What I don’t know controls the madness
Please console me and leave the games
Money don’t help, but I need the change
Stay this way, I’ll be made to fade
Ahhh…

HOOK
Got nowhere to flea
I’m a prison
The battle with me
Armageddon

{Jef Kearns flute solo}

AUDIO SNIPPET 1 (Philosopher Rohan Campbell)
How do we combat against that unconsciousness that keeps coming at us?
Cuz we need something to keep us awake (Free me from war)
And for me, the best method is to come to awareness (Free me from war)
And be in a state of consciousness… all the time (Free me from war)

{Dynesti Williams & Jef Kearns duet}

AUDIO SNIPPET 2 (Philosopher Morgan O. Smith)
Question though, umm… playing devil’s advocate
Do I always have to be in a state of awareness all the time?
I think it’s okay to fall out of it from time to time
As long as you get yourself back on it
A person who is able to accept being both at any given time
Is probably the most…umm… the person who is probably the most… most at peace

AUDIO SNIPPET 3 (Written by Morgan O. Smith)
Yeah, I like the feeling of being hungry
So I can enjoy the feeling of getting out of hunger
