I been fighting temptations
Passed down through generations
The biggest scam of the nation
Turned fear to dedication
I cut off all the smoke
It’s no joke
I got hope
Don’t need dope
Just to cope with the bullshit
Working everyday
And ready to quit
But I got bills to pay
And reasons to stay
Wanna be miles away
But not today
Waiting for my time to come
I know I’m the chosen one
Under the sun
Shining it’s light on me
Break out of the matrix
And fly deep into the galaxy
Tryna be free
From the chains they put on us
Gotta believe
In god I do trust
They made the money a must
Do my job in disgust
The system may work well, for a few
To my soul I stay true
Keep going til I push through
Purified and born anew
I know what I must do
Get better for me and you
Becoming who I’d look up to
