Subject: Produce & Consume (Collab w/ Myah)

We'll produce and consume until we can't anymore
Quiet desperation, smug grin on a conservative face
my skin crawled to the beat of a leaky faucet....
then it caved in on my soul
buried me in the infinite mass of it's doubt

our society is what its called
promise masked on lies
death our new friend
ancestors turn in the grave
what did they fight for
for us all to go back to dust
saying we accomplished nothing
just having the title we so called "earned"
and the paycheck that the government gives us...

I've come to the terms with the fact
that I'm unable to believe
Not fit to chase dreams
My rapid eye movements take snapshots of Beauty
Immortalized in the theatre of the mind...
where every starlet is mentally undressed.

Not to blink too quick, it might be gone
This fast thinking has taken so many
the dreamcatcher no longer catches
It puts to rest scripted, twisted, distorted
Insanity is what we preach
Now we call it the, "American Dream"
I like to think of it as the American Nightmare

Waiting for Knights in shining armor
Adonis tears through the frontlines
Decapitating Kings, generals and peasants
All to put a smile on the face of a damsel in distress
A nervous breakdown waiting to happen

Sounds like a Knight's Tale gone wrong
I know
Lets put in terms in relation to the hood:
Mama pretty as one of God's angel that fell from the sky
Met a man she thought was her Prince Charming
'Til she spoke her mind and was defiant to his ways
A new story to tell to explain new bruises each day
Scraping up scraps
Welfare ain't nothing but the new devil
least to say our crutch til we get back on our feet
Mama working two jobs
Drunken slurs mixed with slaps and punches unknown
911....5 to 10
I say the life-sentence
How animals get cherished more than humans
We all might as well say we're hopeless
'Cause the little hope we have
50.Is nothing but a mirror broken by a rock
