It's not violence, I'm on a bumper, my info still hit the ground, lower the gun, put down
the whip, take a step back, hear me out, I am fanatic, employ guerrilla tactics, open
up this lyrical automatic, I put holes in your rhetoric, it's archaic, my love's chaotic,
almost barbaric, but yet you stand dead, you swear by it, and I've been readily steadily
waiting for it, just to reset, the devil is a liar, top of the empire, blood, sweat, tears
and desire, I put my heart into this, never forget I'm a soldier, I will not be conquered,
I can't hold this rope forever, and I can't forget the past, my soul is under pressure,
and it's killing me, it's destroying me within, my need for emancipation, my soul is under
pressure, and it's killing me, nobody's pursuit of happiness, equality and justice for all,
now you know you lying, you want that shotgun philosophy, celebrate the tragedy, build an
effigy out of the heavens to remind me, you blind me, turn the whole world into my enemy,
control my definition, drain all my energy, it's insane to me, got the whole nation sedated
and medicated, a testimony to the violence, yet you still give me a ghetto education,
basically running me to feed me to the prison industry, I see all of you cowards,
for greed, for need, to hold control over me, but these shades have the power, I'd rather you
give back what you stole from me, I can't hold this rope forever, and I can't forget the past,
my soul is under pressure, and it's killing me, it's destroying me within,
my need for emancipation, my soul is under pressure, and it's killing me.
Excuse me, Mr. Officer, come out on me, sector, no need to stress ya, no need for pecs, yeah,
yo, excuse me, your honor, fuck the drama, no apologies, I say that for my mama,
take my name off of the docket, drop all these charges, all it took was a spark,
all it took was a catalyst, Martin said it best, I live a life with no violence,
so I speak up, no longer silent, I begin to see, my third eye is opening,
and my revolve is strengthening, I yearn to be free, I can't hold this rope forever,
and I can't forget the past, my soul is under pressure, and it's killing me,
it's destroying me within, my need for emancipation, my soul is under pressure,
and it's killing me, excuse me, Mr. Officer, no need for war,
trying to drain my energy, but you're kicking me down,
I can't hold this rope forever, and I can't forget the past,
my soul is under pressure, but it won't kill me.
