Shureshot Hypothesis - Paradigm Shifted lyrics

[Verse 1] All my life contemplatin' Debatin', sellin' my soul to Satan In exchange for a chance to escape Isn't it strange? It seems It takes a sin to achieve somethin' great Relate all hate to the feeling of love Push and shove if need be But live life by the dove Olive branch to a branch of the military Children buried in the name of peace Has got my heart and soul, warn and weary Of any person I meet Might fight but won't bust heat And if I do, it's at the power elite Just tryin' to keep from dyin' Live life not waste it It's hard to peaceful In a world full of hatred [Verse 2] We got guns for 1 in every 8 on the planet And we firin' ‘em in the air Screaming peace god dammit It's a cycle of violence Can't understand it Can't comprehend it, can't reprimand it We use hate like it's paint on a canvas Of names engraved into fate shaped granite Watch the world vanish under heavy iron hands It's a very simple question How long will we stand it? [Verse 3] We bless countries with mustard gas We look past the flash of A-bombs And still my brain crash from the pain I feel on a daily basis And lace this track with peaceful hatred I hate the way that life always leads to d**h But love how human minds always lead to depth And the breadth of this life we're livin' Is only given to those who take So on these beats we break- Up the power structure It's a blunder man The words you hear is the lightning and the thunderin' In this life it's no wonder man The deepest understanding's understanding you don't understand [Verse 4] Regulation law, registration listed Don't change the fact that we're still so twisted Elegantly violent, maliciously gifted Confused, confounded, contained, and convicted Our history of hatred, omens encrypted Prophecy fulfilled to see the paradigm shifted I make lovers outta haters And brother outta enemies Cuz fightin' for peace is like f**in for virginity [Verse 5] Life is preposterous Botched shot hypothesis Egos large like a rhinoceros Cops got monstrous 45s Make you un-alive Straight erase your face From the place you was pacin' Regardless of race, you displaced and hated That's why we get wasted We blaze mary jane to escape and evade it Cuz mace ain't enough no more They invade our space and take us to war Crusade to save face And make them our who*e Implore to the gifted, get lifted Live this drill of an existence, insisting My destiny's a paradigm twisted [Verse 6] Guns to the tanks World full of angst Eyes show blanks cuz of television mind state Crime rate rises up as poverty will Does poverty cause crime? Or does crime cause poverty? k** all the insecurity A flurry of worry isn't worthy of our time Is too short to live in a hurry [Outro] And I would sell my soul to the devil at the crossroads Apostle, knowin' I'm a rebel with a lost cause Cross those roads just to find my own Sold my soul to the devil but the devil never showed…
