10. What have I become?
• Written by NR4U
Ohh yeaa .. life is great, ooh
Ohh yeaa .. life is great, ooh
I couldn't ask for more, ohh yeaa ..
My life is what everyone Hope's for,
My life is like when dreams wash ashore,
When wishes are granted and you're given more,
Ohh yeaa .. life is great, ooh
Ohh yeaa .. life is great, ooh
Wait, cut the tape, is this the song sung before the rape?
Is this the fate that could have been before that mistake?
The lack of hate that would have been before the life I did take?
The life I should have lived before only knowing hate?
I just can't relate, this just doesn't coagulate, just doesn't stick,
Maybe if my past wasn't skewered and roasted on this stick,
Maybe my eyes wouldn't be blinded by the cries ignored by the sick,
My fire burns straight through the wick with the cards I have been stuck with,
Singing that life is great is an evil myth,
Life is "great" when I dont see the bottom of my empty fifth,
Ohh yeaa .. my life is great ohh
Ohh yeaa .. reality is late ohh
Signing about life is great?
Ringing the doubt that it isn't fake?
Please, this reality is a cruel mistake,
Spirituality trys to blind the real fate,
Now bow to me, cause only hate inoculates against the sick,
My troubles aren't skinny they're thick,
Claiming life is great isn't optimistic it's a cruel trick,
Spoken by a true prick who wants someone just to stick with,
Feeding into your misery that giving the last of what you have brings sadness is a myth,
Brainwashing you to believe it will bring you happiness with every gift,
Before you realize your own kid cries because you gave away your last plate,
You thought faith and giving for giving sake was enough to not end up in last place,
But the world is cruel and greed is true, now you know and see the hate,
Now your begging because you realized this way to late,
Some rich guy and wife adopted the apple of your eye, life is sick,
You thought you were giving with good intent, only to be pitching a tent instead of sleeping behind brick,
No one is free, capitalism gave birth to greed, democracy fades like a dying fire on a wick,
We have homeless on the corner of MLK and sixth, but a million dollar penthouse on "saks" and fifth,
A country where oppurtunity bleeds green and life, liberty, and happiness isn't a dream, it's a myth,
Leave me alone, go pretend to pray to God with your arms you lift, while I sit here drinking the last of my fifth...
