Sole - The Gauntlet lyrics

[Verse 1: Sole] Let me tell you who I am Let me find out first I wanna be a new human like born in Greece Really it ain't happen yet Cuz the new ones resemble the old ones I used to rap like what's the meaning of life? Like a f**ing nineteen year old white rapper knows the meaning of life And if that had a meaning it'd be You ain't sh** but a bundle of nerves held together by gravity If you live in fear don't speak my name Had a chance to run with the bulls and you hid with the sheep You thought you were sane but they k**ed you anyway you just don't know it yet I'm dead too but in a different way Cuz crimes against totality pays are like indie rap tours slay the psyche Talking 'bout the good ol' days I never had in the industry trenches All I did was dodge bullets that were more like paper airplanes I was young but old at the same time I didn't even have a heart but it still broke mine When I needed a mentor I had haters And when I needed help I had pointed fingers [Hook] We run the gauntlet Oh yeah we run the gauntlet We run the gauntlet Until we run the gauntlet [Verse 2: Sole] Render under the body What belongs to the bodies Till the stars in our eyes Look like shock and awe When I die I hope every Adam Curtis documentary flash before my eyes Hope I see zen and my grandma like what up That'd be my last fantasy Before I blink into worms And the things we tell ourselves to deal with d**h are all lies But no worse than the ones we tell ourselves to deal with life In rotation flow with the city feels natural Yet it's multidimensional chopped up broken flows Broken windows Inhale the smoke and windows They say all raps about the same thing everything At the same time describes nothing All around concrete fills the sky The sky feels like a flood of radio waves Giving me nightmares I can't remember Wake up sweating and screaming but I'm still dreaming I never had friends till we stood against riot cops And they ask me now who I am? I almost know But only electric chairs and cameras watching cameras tell our tales This speeds a lie detector test snitches get stitches The futures unwritten in black paint Just cuz that ain't been done don't mean we can't You in the building We in the forest And you should join us [Hook]
