A Message by The Act (Rapper) Lyrics
[Verse 1: The Act]
Fuck a battle verse
I got a mind with ill thoughts that'll rattle yours
Like loose change in a purse
Kicks like Lui Kang, shit really hurts
Man, fuck similes and metaphors
Here to make cattle disperse
All brains are reigned in, waitin' to be awakened
Suicide Seattle, when it rains it fuckin' pours
I said, Suicide Seattle, when it rains it fuckin' pours
Neck deep in nooses, obtain a paddle first
Not the best news since, but I'm never idle
Always pacing, tryin' to find something that'll work
Write a page worth, a real eye full
Like I transcribed a bible
A radical verse
Immortal revolutionary, like Technique
My purpose on the earth
Is to make people think
A savior that humans don't deserve
Cause we lie, cheat and hurt
I'm a cynic with no Curb
To my Enthusiasm
But I'm the chosen chauffeur
Why's the finish line, so blurred
Journey just began, and I want it to be over
Eighteen and crazy
How do I stay sober
Everyday I'm colder
Heart's gonna be frozen, shoulder's
Gonna be hunched over, like Notre
All I want is to come closer
And see the end in sight
Cause I know I have a mission, right
My own Road to Perdition
Will my efforts be fruitless, no fruition?
While people clueless
No evolution? In confusion?
A slave to the dollar
Just for a dollar to save
It's a cotton fuckin' collar
You really need a fortune
Just to be a college scholar
Is an education worth it?
If you can't fuckin' afford it?
Gotta take out a loan in exchange for your soul
Stuck in the hole till thirty years old
But you're not alone, there's a whole
Generation of kids that are anxious
To just make it, with positive bank statements
It's what we're taught from the moment we discover intelligent thought
Like there's a formula for success... but it's all wrong
Who approved this draft?
Your mind is a tool that is restrained and subdued
You gotta break through and let loose
Read a book or two and don't rely on school
That said Einstein was a fool
So he went and he proved
If you just break the mold
There's nothing you can't do
And I'ma prove it, too
There's nothing you can't do
And I'ma prove it, too
There's nothing you can't do
And I'ma prove it, too
Fuck a battle verse
I got a mind with ill thoughts that'll rattle yours
Like loose change in a purse
Kicks like Lui Kang, shit really hurts
Man, fuck similes and metaphors
Here to make cattle disperse
All brains are reigned in, waitin' to be awakened
Suicide Seattle, when it rains it fuckin' pours
I said, Suicide Seattle, when it rains it fuckin' pours
Neck deep in nooses, obtain a paddle first
Not the best news since, but I'm never idle
Always pacing, tryin' to find something that'll work
Write a page worth, a real eye full
