through my bloodshot eyes i envision a place
where with precision we make another decision than hate
this incision that aches is inflamed by the derision of snakes
it's united we stand, yet still the division is great
& so down we fall, our thesis burns another week
prayed for a miracle & saw jesus turn the other cheek
wanted to kick & yell, but couldn't even learn to mutter squeaks
we're all on this ship to hell, i believe the stern.. its rudder's tweaked
i'ma milk the cow for what it's worth, you need to churn the butter freak
the redwood forest is petrified & the gulf stream in turn, a cluttered creek
see, i've heard the gutter leak, it filled my mind with vile thoughts
you claim to hear freedom ring, but we're all confined by styles taught
so when i'm near & people sing, i'm really inclined to smile... not
when i feel fear am i a g? nah, cuz i'm designed to cry a lot
rewind for miles doc, hopefully find the roots of disease
except i probably can't trust you, i don't know who to believe
i stay hidden from society, some of us grab the noose when we grieve
& i still salute you indeed, i just take a different route when i bleed
i'm clueless to creed, religion's all the same.. they're all vyin for wealth
i'm living to send this message to you, i'm actually dyin to tell
i'm trying to help those who are tired, well i'm tired of trying to help
& it's ironic how "the truth will set you free" is a lie in itself
so this land was made for you & me? that right there is a funny rap
cuz i bought into this life....... & now i want my money back
