TYRANNY!
 
Silence please in these conformity factories
With socks pulled up to their knees
I ask myself is this what they need or are they walking in sorrow
Doing assignments today and drugs tomorrow
Walking around in a vengeful rage
Like animals locked inside a cage
Trapped unable to walk about
But things will change the day they’re let out
 
Let the acid run thick
Cleansing my thoughts and corrupting my actions
If the sin is so deep,
How come I’m not drowning?
 
We got Gods among men
Men among Gods
Women and children, look at the odds
All of our souls have a destiny
So go ahead lets stop this TYRANNY!
 
Let that piercing bell ring
Surrendering time and suspending our lives
If their motive is sin
How are we to know?

I can read between the lines
I can write inside the vanity
But you cannot see my mind
You cannot see my sanity
 
ERODING!     Eroding all away from me
Decaying!!
CONSUMING ALL THE REST OF ME!!!
Unless we stop this TYRANNY!!!
 
Tyranny of ANGER!
Tyranny of RAGE!
Cause we’re meant to believe whats written on a PAGE!
When will we save the next generation
Of academic slavery to a private nation?
My opportunities! Where did they go?
We could be doing the wrong thing!
How are we to know?
Knowledge aint truth, it just makes you work harder
And being number one doesn’t make you smarter
Questioning beliefs, discourses of love and hate
…of sex and race and even faith!
 
We got Gods among men
Men among Gods
Women and children, look at the odds
All of our souls have a destiny
So go ahead lets stop this tyranny!
We got Gods among men
Men among Gods
Women and children, look at the odds
All of our souls have a destiny
So go ahead lets stop this TYRANNY!
 
TYRANNY, LETS STOP THIS TYRANNY!
