An Inconvenient Truth by Gambit Lyrics
[Gambit]
Yo I'm the realest thing since deep physical pain
My mind resides in the sky and my spirit lives in the rain
It's obvious that I'm travelling through time backwards
As a prophet of the apocalypse disguised as a rapper
And I'm on a mission to dismantle the system
The chrysanthemum glistened, I just stared and I listened
And it expanded into a prism in which I'd risen
Simultaneously cursed and gifted with this vision
It had to say then that life is either a fabrication
Of imagination or some kind of advanced simulation
Or the fantasy of a mental patient
That, or I'm the only thing that exists, and that's the conclusion I've been evading
We're participating within a game
In which we sit and wait in anticipation for stimulation
Tryin' to find the quickest way to just get rich or paid
That or we're looking for love or somebody who'd want to reciprocate it
A different way to live exists today
But it just gets delayed and resisted because it don't make paper
The corporations taking resources forcefully pave
The course to graves for babies born today so of course it'll shape our
Fate to a horribly morbid state that they orchestrate
Forcing you and I to face situations there's no escape for
When every human dies, there'll never be another birth
To know that Mother Earth will cry, mourning those who raped her
Make no mistake of it, we're way too late
When "50 Shades of Grey" is more important than the Fifty States
We're told to focus on celebrities celebrating
While global temperature's accelerating at shifting rates
And I'm afraid this ain't some shit that we can wish away
Or just erase unless we all can come together unified
When contemplating the extinction of the human race
You realize there's no time to waste, this is literally do or die
So in this lifetime, what'll you provide?
Will you be just weeping or find yourself sleeping through the ride?
Will you act like a martyr and ask to be crucified?
Or will you actually be the start of a movement, child?
You say your bravery's true as your pride
But if somebody was mugging another, you try to save 'em or move aside?
I wanna do what's right, cause one day it is true I'll day
So even if life is mundane I don't see the point of suicide
And yo I have no religion
Cause placing labels on belief can only add to division
Maybe fables of the past were just written
As ways for common men to comprehend the complexity and magic of livin'
But out of the infinite possibilities, it's hard to really believe
That I am objectively correct about everything I think
And that everyone else is wrong or has really just been deceived
What kind of bullshit is that?
Unification requires communication
So why ain't we through with nations? We all belong to the human race
So you can waste away to the fade, persuaded or fooled by snakes
But if survival's what you desire, it's time that you awaken
Every sire is none but a liar who's mistaken
We'll never die, so to hell with the pride that fools will take in
Claiming they are higher than others because of superficial colors and numbers
But discover they're under the rule of Satan
And they would fight to death
To have their rights suppressed, hallucinating what their minds ingest
Despite the rest, until the night they take their final breaths
They'll just despise the blessed under a false title of righteousness
We've fallen and cannot see
All of humanity's a small part of a larger family
Upon this planet we started, imparted with the role to guard it
But slowly evolved into a parasitic cancer, we
Abandoned freedom for promises of security
But failed to read the clauses omitting the majority
The path to conquer through gore has lasted all of history
And the daft who prolly support it want us all to ignore it
And what's it for? There's mothers screaming in agony
Holding family's corpses so some of us can life happily
We're so distracted from that which is actually happening
They try to dumb us down and fatten us up and it's maddening
It's as if nobody knows that
The government loves us to fuckin' hate those that oppose them
That's why the same six corporations own all the shows
And the news stations, radios, papers and more
In a flagrant attempt to control what you think you know and you don't
When it's just the M.O. of a CEO on a throne
Who fell in lust with the money that tucks him under the covers
Just to discover that was nothing when they're cold and alone
So what is money worth when the wealth
Causes suffering while you offer nothing, serving yourself?
Lurkin' in stealth, while you watch your cousins burn in the hell
On the surface of Earth you perverted so your earnings would sell?
Honestly I ain't buyin' it
When the politicians claim that they know more than the scientists
'bout the sate of the planet and its warming environment
They'll be damned, wondering what they're fighting for when they die in it
They try to divide us to two peoples
Democrat or Republican, to choose the lesser of two evils
They love it when we try to fight over which side is right
While taxing lower classes instead of churches with new steeples
We'd better open our eyes
Instead of perpetuating a system that's been broken with lies
And stokin' the fires of our collective joke of desires
That ultimately are the causes that provoke our demise
I hope I'm in time, before we find the stakes up
Unfortunately this isn't a story that I could make up
So find your maker, straight from the mind of Jacob
Consider this an official invitation, it's time to wake up
Yo I'm the realest thing since deep physical pain
My mind resides in the sky and my spirit lives in the rain
It's obvious that I'm travelling through time backwards
As a prophet of the apocalypse disguised as a rapper
And I'm on a mission to dismantle the system
The chrysanthemum glistened, I just stared and I listened
