[Intro: Phase Fate]
So they take away my rights
And it's illegal to fight it
Can you believe that?
Can you believe that?
They take away my brothers
To a distant trouble
Can you believe that?
Can you believe Iraq?
Now who's decision is it
Singing, "in prison, it's only ignorance"
I don't believe that
I don't believe that
See yeah, we're k**ing each other point blank
They're cashing in at the bank
Now can't you see
Now can't you see that?
[Verse 1: Phase Fate]
In fact, it's getting worse
Fathers bring their sons home in a hearse
Now hear my verse, it's kinda short
But my action's louder than words
I hear you doubters observed the same news
But you're seeing what you choose, yeah
Till we're all in the slums
Playing the blues
Played like a low E-string
Toying with our hopes
And my case is open, but I don't want no coins
I want love and sanity
Humanity has fallen enough
Now get your daughter that short skirt
Can't be a father living at work
Her mother wears the same size as her
The supervisor's turd, you're just a scapegoat
Blame it on the help
"He don't know nuttin' else", yeah
CEO making more in a day
Than you can save in your life
Now what's that like?
Feeling deprived, depressed
Yeah, it's alright
No need for Prozac, I got my flows back
Watch me spit it to you old school
Like an MC's supposed to
I feel like Luigi saving Princess Toadstool
My rumors so lewd
My speech is so taboo
I won't rest till you can, too
Let's give it to them, soul food
[Chorus: Phase Fate]
'45, it don't seem right
Oil mine, no need to fight
Scramble life, and cutthroat swine
Lonely life on the mountain high
[Verse 2: Phase Fate]
In fact, let's look at the truth
No heroes coming from phone booths
It's only zeroes
And walking proof of poverty
They call me Space Oddity
'Cause I bring you to another world
Now watch the game plan unfurl
Code Poets catch your ear drum
Throwing ba**, you hear some
Familiar lyrics, same things you've been thinking
Remixed
Only there's no time for blinking
We need to fix this Earth
Before it sticks us for what we're worth
Sometimes I think that's nothing
When I see the atrocity
Committed in the name of hypocrisy
It's fitting that we're k**ing ourselves
Because we're one big contradiction
Now let me catch my breath and improve my diction
To all you money-grubbing leaders taking more than you give
Let me just say that that's a lonely way to live
What goes around is coming back around again someday
A king serving his own is a king left alone, c'mon
[Chorus: Phase Fate]
'45, it don't seem right
Oil mine, no need to fight
Scramble life, and cutthroat swine
Lonely life on the mountain high
[Outro: Phase Fate]
So they take away my rights
And it's illegal to fight it
Can you believe that?
Can you believe that?
They take away my brothers
To a distant trouble
Can you believe that?
Can you believe Iraq?
Now who's decision is it
Singing, "in prison, it's only ignorance"
I don't believe that
I don't believe that
See yeah, we're k**ing each other point blank
They're cashing in at the bank
Now can't you see
Now can't you see that?
