Convinced - So Long lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1: Echo] So I see a new system A new world where we don't need prisons Where the way people living is different Where you realize that breathing's not a given Where it's not important to try and fit in Where it's ok to stand alone and fidget Where people get more than smidges and tidbits Food, warmth and shelter's no privilege And it took a whole village To bring this image into fruition We f**ing live it And love it, no judges, it's a consensus All the votes count, cause it f**ing makes sense kid We lived reckless but, finally fixed it We had to stop these dickheads from going ballistic We needed existence to be more relentless The way we was living was senseless [Hook: Convinced] I don't know why We lived like that for So Longggg So Longggg So Longggg I don't know, I don't know why (2x) [Verse 2: Echo] So yea, there's no crime And we live off this new form of time We're using our minds to make new designs Collectively planning all of humankind We find solutions, to fix problems We're not waiting for the next guy to solve them Self-sufficient, schools are all different When you teach real sh**, the kids are ALL gifted The levels are lifted, the bar's raised No more boss, you won't need a f**ing raise The only praise you need is from within And you know you're just energy wrapped in skin And you know you're not a him, or a her We're all energy, vibrating blurs And no one thinks of rocking minks or furs k**ing other animals, that's a slur [Hook: Convinced] I don't know why We lived like that for So Longggg So Longggg So Longggg I don't know, I don't know why (2x) [Verse 3: Echo] Community Farms, local farmers And young mothers raise babies with their fathers Teach the kids how to make their own garments They won't get robbed by these store departments Name brands leave your brains bombarded Walking billboards man this sh** is retarded This new system, it might seem awkward You can't walk backwards if you wanna go forwards We move onwards and upwards, homie We build communities so nobody's lonely We got rid of these phony politicians Neighborhood Councils, now that's a better system Everybody chips in and feels important The truth is exposed, it's not f**ing distorted Nobody's foreign, we're all the same Each person communicates, with their own, brain! [Hook: Convinced] I don't know why We lived like that for So Longggg So Longggg So Longggg I don't know, I don't know why (2x)
