Optimism

[Verse 1]
So where’s your optimism when your god is missing
And you’ve got to listen to who bought the system
And they rot your vision, twist and stop your thinking
Fixed odds are written so you walk their rhythm
And you plot your living but they block your mission
Like you ain’t shit, but you the matrix
You the one with the gun but you’re patient
You decide when you’re done when you run
When you move, what you do, what you view
What you use, if you win if you lose
If you fib or the truth is produced
When your lips start to move
If you choose to be righteous or villainous
A man that suppresses free thought what villain is
He thought, so he is; breath, talk and feel it
Fear not the realness of life
Steer clear of the path filled with light

[Verse 2]
I used to only think in term of others
Black mark on my life you can smell the burning rubber
Then I learned, I discovered
That the first worst thing is to hide under covers
Put a mask on your face, lie and act like your great
Try to stash all the pain, under piles of fake
Feels worse than a disappointed mother
Short term solution you can’t always use your putter right
Poor execution, try to cut steak with a butter knife
It just don’t work
It just won’t work

[Verse 3]
I’m just doing what I want
Doing what I need to do
Inhibition long gone
On my own time always taking the scenic route
Like a road sign what you see is what you get
I’m a bold line to make sure you read the text
Get the code right if you’re trying to intercept
Deeper meaning than what the people present
Man I’ve been bleeding this pen dry
Kicking back, feet in the sky
Writing reasons to hide, and I can’t think of one yet
Not a slice, not a piece of the pie
Food for thought if you haven’t had lunch yet
Live life, fly high like a jump jet
Just don’t jump ship if you haven’t done shit
Grab the oar and start to paddle when the drums hit
If you’re on board and you battle, you’ve won it
