You tell the young they can never become what they aspire to

Born in a cell with no one who can inspire you

Your highs are never as high as those who lie to you

Pretending that they live in the sky lying behind your roof

Shooting holes up at your ceiling

Trying to find the proof trying to fight the feeling

The truth tied up like the noose they been concealing

Dipped it in diamonds so that you find it appealing

Time for dealing despite y'all dealing we are the savages

The natives who fight the appeal of all your lavishness

The brave who find what is real and call it as it is

And use our mind and will to escape the laws of averages

To be rich and broke or to be broke and rich

You see it all gets flipped by those who've mastered this

Who give a whole new meaning to what gymnastics is

Jumping over the walls on old mattresses

The savage

We are the savages

Who told you poverty made criminals

A self-fulfilling prophecy they drill in you

Think of all who made it with their options at a minimal

It takes being creative when they say the block will limit you

The savages the raw talent of those who have to live

Outside the comforts of the norm where the challenges

Form the outliers and the culture that'll clash with them

Who own they own style cus they can't afford the fashion trends

The mantra the savage mind will not be conquered

The contra-diction you find inside the monster

With a canon that you can't fire without an author

Like a phantom that you can't drive outside the opera

When you can't stand up for your goal they gonna stop ya

When a man stand up than it's gold you got an oscar

What they're afraid of later they will applaud for

When that which you are made of later becomes an art form

The savage

We are the savages
