Save Myself

Yo it's like there's something in the water, how the hell did we get here?

And ignorance is growing, but it's blowing up next year

They saying 'dumb it down' but then you losing the message

We breathing stupidity, motherfucker I'mma choke 'til the air clears and

It's never over when you figured they done yet

Coz thinking for themselves is too big of a concept

They rarely read a book and what they seeing is truth, damn

Hot for gossip columns and believing the newsman

Yeah, it's like most of the world just slide through life

Shit, watch zeitgeist or peep some david icke, christ

It really ain't that hard

And fuck school, information is freely available if you want it

I'm a staunch new age intelligence advocate

Raping corporate havens and we selling it back to them

Man take advantage, a time when effing up is standard

There's something to gain from all the damage

And people step on up and pay attention

It's worth it, I don't spend time, I invest it

Cheques for slave labour, no hater we dough raisers

With a penchant for fatter pay packets that don't change us

Slow ain't ya? Yeah

But opportunity's available for those with they eyes open to take it

Eh, this a final boarding call for the future

Oh and mind your step coz that last one's a doozy, come on widdit

I'm good by myself, coz I don't need noone else

Everyone's the same, happy to work like slaves

I'm not scared of change, I'll embrace it 'til the end of my days

My head high, on my grind, save myself from the world tonight

Noone will keep me down, I will put up a fight

And I will never cry no more inside

And I will make something of my life

I'll prove you wrong coz tonight is the night

It's the new me that you see, I know it's hard to believe

You and me, together, let's make this change forever

I'm good by myself, coz I don't need noone else

Everyone's the same, happy to work like slaves

I'm not scared of change, I'll embrace it 'til the end of my days

My head high, on my grind, save myself from the world tonight

Uh, lemme talk on this, movement fam!

It makes you wonder, don't it? We really must've blown it

Sold the world for donuts but still walkin' round like we own it

Racists, misogynists, reign in the populace

Insane when hip hop's representin' for the homophobics

Am I better myself? Started rapping as a way to try and better myself

Now we acting like the message is a bonus, say something worth sayin'

And they call you conscious like we're s'posed to be in comas

Man it's time to take onus now, who we kiddin'

We ain't artists, we're just pin-ups for consumerism

Take a sec, improve your vision, all you gotta do is listen

How you see the light depends which way you're lookin' through the prism

Ain't just dudes in prison under supervision

We're livin' in a system where money's the only true religion

Yo it's obvious they screw with your head

Have any colour you want, long as it's blue or it's red

So you better be colourblind, you understand?

Man there's gotta be some other kind of fuckin' plan

Banks are hungry for that capital like budapest, somebody call unicef

They'll trade your human rights 'til there's no human left

Don't let 'em diminish your intellect

When liberal means conservative that's politically incorrect

So either take it or be part of the fight

But if I'm gonna save myself then I'm starting tonight, come on!

I'm good by myself, coz I don't need noone else

Everyone's the same, happy to work like slaves

I'm not scared of change, I'll embrace it 'til the end of my days

My head high, on my grind, save myself from the world tonight
