[Verse 1]
Impelling me with ink, consistently telling lies
Within my red lines, they're sure to marginalize
Failing to see the blue, failing to see the cries
Failing to see the emptiness where I'm deprived
Indeed I love art, profound respect for creativity
When you discern my temple I pray for your sensitivity
Willing to break my vow, if promised effort and quality
Just ask for commitment, loyalty, authenticity
Just ask that you don't blacken my heart with mediocrity and foolishness
I made it, I graduated, off to college now
But constantly garnished with silliness as if I'm just a child
You don't respect me, you hate me, neglect me
Abuse me, tarnish my surface, compress and grab a new sheet
Molest me, penetrated by your pen
Whether mal intent, pray you're forgiven for you sin
Admit that I tried, but can't hate
Cause at the end of the page, we both just want to be loved
We both just want to be
[Hook]
I mean, I get it I understand
Cause money is the root of the plant
You plant false images of what the meaning of living is
Take my happiness to find fame is not happiness
I mean, I get it I understand
Cause money is the root of the plant
You plant false images of what the meaning of living is
Take my happiness to find fame is not happiness
[Verse 2]
Joy is knowing that you contributed
To a greater purpose, must ignore the serpent
Just a servant, I serve you so you can serve others
Use my lines to write rhymes that could open shutters
And open blinds so the broken can see the sunshine
Remove ceilings so children can see there's more to life
Don't confine me, don't confine yourself
Cause the richest man could be lacking wealth
And the fittest girl could be lacking health
Look hard enough, you're sure to find Orion's belt
[Hook]
I mean, I get it I understand
Cause money is the root of the plant
You plant false images of what the meaning of living is
Take my happiness to find fame is not happiness
I mean, I get it I understand
Cause money is the root of the plant
You plant false images of what the meaning of living is
Take my happiness to find fame is not happiness
[Vamp]
I dread, no voice to speak
If I fled, fled away with the breeze
Or I bled, maybe then you could see
That I'm shredded, shredded into pieces
I dread, no voice to speak
If I fled, fled away with the breeze
Or I bled, maybe then you could see
That I'm shredded, shredded into pieces
[Hook]
[Outro]
Wish that you would value, wish that you would savor
And understand the power within a sheet paper
Wish that you would value, wish that you would savor
But I guess I have no say, I'm just a sheet of paper
Wish that you would value, wish that you would savor
And understand the power within a sheet paper
Wish that you would value, wish that you would savor
But I guess I have no say, I'm just a sheet of paper
