They speak of rags to riches, with no mention of old money
While the rest of us are upwardly mobile like cold honey
If you're not, then you best become conscious of class
Join the struggle to dethrone the pompous and crass

Who tend to lend a a hand to exploitation & torture
Yet they try to paint a portrait making saints outta vultures
Like all these wack rappers getting media hype
When their formulas' more childish than Pedialite

See we're all born to die, the obsolescence was planned
So live while you live, yea, that's the message the grand
Paradox that sits at the essence of man,
so stop the presses supplant depressants

With spiritual convalescence advance past you're pre conceived notions & stereotypes
I doubt that you'd beleive what goes into a pair of your Nikes
In terms of sweatshop labor,
I know you're more concerned with the fresh hot flavor

But let's not, let's not cater to an
Economic vision that depends on slavery
Yeah to all my friends and neighbors
Can I get an amen to say "End that behavior!"

Amen "End that behavior!"
A-womyn "End that behavior!"
A-human "End that behavior!"
Within the dollar sign, no you won't find a savior

[Chorus]
colonized minds, swallow lies fine
Role models most felons, do they still qualify prime?
You depressed? Let's go grafin', demolish fine lines
Of fuck it, play some drums, run a mile the guy's fine

I'm aimin these shots at the scholar's mind's pride
Our leaders mostly focus on the dollar sign prize
Religion mostly tries to personify time
Lantern spark the universe's pilot light's shine
