Brandon Carter - Reality lyrics

[Hook] What you gon' do in your sleep? What you gon' do if awake? Are you aware of what's happenin'? Have you touched basis with reality? I hope and pray we stay safe There is sane, there's insane I know what's real and what's not There is fate, there is faith There's nothing much I can say [Post-Hook] (x4) Oh, we're stuck in reality [Verse 1] What's this place? What's this world that we've come to? If we can't live by it's guidelines Then what's the point of rules? You need to know that the time you have's not long You just wasted your time—it's gone And I mean, you're not listening—you're gone Indeed you ain't built for this—all 'long I ain't gon' trip with this—headstrong What's it to a murderer who tries to change up But had the audacity to take one? They took part of us, and'll never make up Everything they've costed in a blink of an eye Everybody's fighting for a piece of the pie A gist of the prize, this world is a lie Pent up by all the armory, that's draped wit' our irony Spent up, can't win the lottery, some kids are starving, see It's all in stereo; trends brainwashing the Radio; same scenario Take the good and then laugh, push that to back Put bad in, the vast majority's rap? We work when we young, to relax when we're old? Bills and mortgages so what do we own? People born with a silver spoon in their throat Others scratch and claw to kick you off of your throne Got us lookin' like savages, it's so disaterous Knawed to bits, by lurkin' scavengers, limbs acheing, staggering Put our bones in piles, like our souls don't matter Heh, Our lives depend on things that do not matter Heh, Riots rising, you can hear the clattering Peace is a dying subject, do not ask why Look around and what'chu see, huh? You're awake, sink that in, ah I always cringe while y'all binge nah, I Do not feel at home, who's those people next door? Generation of violence, feel like I'm destined for war These are hitting words, that'll knock out You're playing yourself when you're gambling You better back out! You're playing with d**h when you blaze it Put that cigar out! If you want to end it that way, then that's a fast route If your life's worth the while, then you can cash out Yeah, it's our finality, normality Had to be this way, 'cause we are stuck in reality! [Hook] What you gon' do in your sleep? What you gon' do if awake? Are you aware of what's happenin'? Have you touched basis with reality? I hope and pray we stay safe There is sane, there's insane I know what's real and what's not There is fate, there is faith There's nothing much I can say [Post-Hook] (x4) Oh, we're stuck in reality [Verse 2] We're all cornered in the likes of this cell Cannot escape from this prison Cannot escape in this jail You can't trust anybody, seems you'll never make bail The people that got a smile on their Face Are the same people wearing a mask, and pathologically feint Catastrophically indulged with no sight of Restraint Gain the enjoyment when you blown out your Brains The same people who'll end their lives because of a text that you sent The same person that cries right after you leave Because they feel they don't belong here, like how do they vent? I don't know what else could I rant About Without starting fires, with need to stomp it Out We plant the seed, we plant the seed And yank and reap, their own growth Go to sleep every night and wake up; that's called "hope" I'm down to teach But, sounding like I'm bound to preach Hate overpowers hate, love over powers love But does love overpower hate? I hate the fact love is questioned Guns don't k** people, people k** people People kneel 'neath you, need you feel equal? Change won't come, until you make a change Don't let the fear of what could happen make nothing happen Don't you wish you had more time? But we take it, waste it, face it Our times late Don't plan a future with someone with no future plans after Don't you wish you lost nobody? Ever wondered what it'd be like if you could Control everything? Don't drink another bottle, before you feint You're gonna pa** out! You're playing with health, thinking it helps you With all them d** now You're playing yourself, messing with women You let your guard down Yeah, in this place things aren't what they appear to be But this reality, everything's what it seems Yeah, congratulations you awake in reality? Welcome to the edge of reality
