No Longer Silent (feat. Merissa Shaban)

[Lucidious]

Yeah

Pressure I’m feeling is building it’s cold

I wanted this back at seven years old

Try to live present but can't let it go

Spend my time writing in rooms all alone

If you think this is dark then you don't even know

What goes on deep inside of my soul

I’m a role model to many people that don't

Be who they wanna be won't let it show

Chest is tight find it hard to breathe

Many regrets I find it hard to sleep

What if I made it yeah what would that mean to go touring through cities just me and my team

I never thought that could happen to me

Suddenly people reaching out want meet and greets

Autographs pictures begging me please

Lucid can you show me how to break free?

You might have forgot I'm a human too

Putting’ together tunes steady sparking fumes

Finally they got to listen now they all consumed

Acting like dogs in a darkened room

Would you really fucking like it if I barked at you?

Put you up on a wall and threw a dart at you?

Fuck everybody you ain't really thought this through

I ain't settling for shit that was taught to you

[Merissa Shaban]

Do you want to find a way out?

A way out of here

Can you feel it? So conditioned

To the things we're taught to fear

And we're trying, still were climbing

Can we make it out alive?

Souls are tied in, no longer silent

Break the chains in the rules of life

[Lucidious]

Leaving the people you love can be difficult

Love em’ today then flip like a reciprocal

They're gonna hate you they won't understand

Blame you for changing becoming a man

Question your visions and question your plans

Gotta say fuck it you can't give a damn

Or I promise that you're gonna end up like them

Don't be the guy that says remember when

Do everything that you gotta do to get outta bed

You gonna fail a fucking lot and make a thousand attempts

Gonna be days you thought you were better dead

You have deal with the shit that they said

If you ain't losing people you ain't taking the steps

Doing what you gotta do to make it up to success

Too afraid to move, but you wonder what's next

Paralyzed in the moment looking back in regret

And you ain't got a clue what I did to get this

I don't gotta party every night to feel I exist

I put every fucking penny into making this shit

So I plan on taking every benefit that I get

Dedicated everything to perfecting my craft

Think you got a clue but you don't know the half

Nobody gave it to me your fucking perception is whack

I lived in depression and I ain't going back

[Merissa Shaban]

Do you want to find a way out?

A way out of here

Can you feel it? So conditioned

To the things we're taught to fear

And we're trying, still were climbing

Can we make it out alive?

Souls are tied in, no longer silent

Break the chains in the rules of life

People asked me why I started to rap

They wanna know what is sparking these tracks

It's pretty I simple I picked up a pen

I got pissed off and I started to vent

I connect with my music more than I do them

Older I get I been losing some friends

Bigger I grow the more I must confess

There's part of me hoping that all of it ends

Try and take a second out to walk in my shoes

I never sleep always writing from a quarter to two

Suicidal at a point in time but nobody knew

Everybody wanna tell me their opinion or view

Yeah people love it and some hate what I do

Look at my phone and see people abuse

Technology kids getting bullied in school

Overdose thinking that gossip is true

It's pretty sickening just how vindictive a bully can be to a kid in the kitchen

That's going through hell while his parents are bitching

About making money and facing eviction

All while taking prescriptions

Fix ADD ones that causes addiction

Nobody listens(nobody listens)

Fuck it I guess that we all are conditioned

(Ahh)
