SHOWBIZ

 

The media is messed up

but recognition ain't enough

Cause we still can't get enough of that shiny blinding stuff

Yeah life is rough, maybe if I bought this it wouldn't be so tough.

Technologies got it's hold on we

Trying to escape reality through these screens silver screens

introduction to a new religion call it celebrity

Generations obsessed with attention cause we just wanna be seen.

 

No it can't be messages subliminally, come on that's so "1950s"

But imagine this, believe in that, it'll magical happen best hop on that

SENSORY OVERLOAD

News cast, bombs blast, cars crash, whiplash. They keep finding new ways to spread old trash

Telling us which place and which race to fear next

promoting division, separation but then telling us to be a patriotic nation?

 

I'm not about to be apologetic bout my desecration ya'll best try to keep up

cause iv'e been paying attention

we must abide by the laws of the "superior class"

and if you can't adhere to that mass clash punished for being brass.

 

Type cast the right women to play the wrong types, different men but their all fighting in the same fight.

Cliches recycled in the recycle but they still appear the same way

cause there object is to get us to relate.

 

But there's always conflicting information, is it still in english?

cause I need a TRANSLATION

Read between the lines instead of seeing the false good intentions that they hide behind.

Yeah they prey on our fears cause we all cry the same tears.

 

While their laughing and clinking their glasses like cheers.

they say "best not speak the truth or we'll make you disappear

Have you seen our work, think we've been clear?"

 

And that's how it is cause politics is just another form of showbiz.

pressed suits and warlords, yet these gang bangers end up on covers of

Forbes.

 

While the people in their countries are still going hungry is it just me or

is that conveying something?

Can't be blind to the proof when it's in front of your face

but their like please don't exaggerate.

Yeah their messing up, but they don't take the blame

what's in a name ? EVERYTHING.

Preordained from the lines they came

power placed in familiar hands to oversee malicious plans AND

 

As long as were mesmerized by what's computerized and televised

were open to our visions being fed more lies surprise,surprise

Prescriptions for afflictions that don't exist.

 

Elders just don't understand , so youth be cuttin their wrists

saying "chin up kids, get over it" actin like depression is the same as a new zit.

 

Current EPIDEMIC Hopelessness

 

Aimless they call us the righteous soliders we walk the trances of our

broken dreams.

Amnesia to the fact that it's faith we need

in ourselves and humanity

To crack the grid, set us free

from our minds and egos

to trust ourselves and be our own HEROES.

 

So let every breath you take fill your lungs with inspiration, never give up on yourself and let that be your declaration.
