I've been waiting a long time to be set free…
Liftoff, a prophecy encrypted on the walls
Is slowly being realized through a timely stage call
The setting is magnificent, the evening fits me perfectly
The universe conveyed to me a clear sense of urgency
But that was 10 years ago, nobody was listening
Wrote off as hallucinations everything I was envisioning
I petitioned the christening as emotional response
But ignorance is ignorance regardless of the font
Promptly I engaged any minds geared to global talk
Oval office ringmasters manipulate jovial waltz
Across the U.S that you tested in as an adolescent
Treasuring the breaks from stress and finding holy resonance
For comfort, my lungs hurt, monotony or gunpoint
A choice only for reckless fools who live inside their heads
Where headaches are earthquakes, the world has me stunned
But I won't waste time complaining, take it all for mine instead
From glimmering to radiant, societal escape artist
Parched for some perspective, clothed in zen oriented garments
Alarming that for 2 decades we haven't gotten along
I can't express all my contempt simply writing just one song
But I'm prone to like the aspects tossed aside and unconsidered
Because I know that there's a way to feed these homeless people dinner
Success doesn't make you a winner anymore more than failure makes you
A loser, victory's in the hands of the fate chooser
Successfully being manipulated doesn't earn you any credit
So take it personally when I say, your life is so pathetic
If your company went bankrupt, tell me what you have left
Unfulfilled dreams and public disrespect
Grimace at the concept as I did in 6th grade
Hesitant and insecure because of lives that people made
Around being privileged and accomplishing the minimal
Accusing in depth thinking of the same in ways subliminal
Intricately woven into fabric of society
Loudest when we follow and rebel in d**h quietly
Parental Advisory is to keep away from children
Because when explicit content is played, only they will listen and
Take it to heart, start a movement and support the cause
Condense loose ends, eliminate all the petty flaws
Find gauze for excess bloodflow that war perpetuates
Violence ain't as glamorous as America accentuates
For comfort, my lungs hurt, monotony or gunpoint
I struggle with deciding every night inside my dreams
A terrible behemoth guards the trove behind the castle
And will tear apart the warriors that brave there by the seams
But we're deceived they dug their grave by challenging authority
Glorifying patriotic acts, but they extort and see
Profit, we've lost it by doing nothing to stop it
The amount of minds that we've accosted makes me so f**ing nauseous
So I've dropped the delusion and push away the institution
Until they decide that they're done entertaining all the gruesome
Actions and factions, and factor in the justice
Do away with evils and allow life to be luscious
Daily life's mechanical, I can no longer take it in
Grim reaper standing by the sidelines with a wicked grin
Patience so thin, but the tension's so thick
Debating internally for eternity? Nah this is it
From this point on, I'm living ill in the coolest sense
Mainstream confusion ain't for me, I'm a ruler!
Miles Bradford King, regal presence when my name drops
Optimizing free thought in the free world
There is no discussion to be had with the rap game's mad hatter
Laughter echoes through these corridors, open doors and see after
Dead ends, inevitable resting place for dead trends
In the confines of small mindedness real and fake will start to blend
I'll lend my hand in pitfalls then vanish back to the throne
Yeah I'm back and I'm prone to rack up illmatics
When I'm in the zone, where's the line between ego and confidence?
I guess it doesn't matter when the bottom line's my consciousness
Is no longer scattered, I have found my truth
Everything that's ever mattered to me now has proof
Beware, I'm on the loose, so your ranking's never safe
Crash landed in America to set everything straight
Scare tactics are child's play, have more respect for an elder
Body 20, mind 100, meditating like a sage
These are all the things that for a decade plagued my mind
But sometimes in life, you just gotta flip the page
Sometimes, in life you just gotta flip the page
Come, these are the tales of The Cool
Guaranteed to go and make you fail from your school
And seek unholy grails like a fool
And hang with the players of the pool
Fast-talking of the hustle
No heaven up above you, no hell underneath ye
And no one will receive thee
So shed no tear when we're not here
And keep your faith as we chase
The Cool
