As I raise my fist to the sky I ask the Gods, "why, why do I suffer?" And they remind me, I'm a survivor Put a tag on his toe he's done Back up against the wall, nowhere to run He's just the average under average He don't matter, he was never the one Even if he gives his best he'll fail Never compete with the rest he'll fail See him fall down, see him break down under pressure Put to the test he'll fail In my mind's eye I find my multi-dimensional uniqueness This is only pain and stress If it don't kill me I'll eat this Blinded, my eyelids are closed but I still see My future is brighter, mission completed I have conquered my demons and with all of this energy and everything inside of me I will fight til I can't find no more Levitate up off the hate, I gravitate to move my fate I have conquered my demons and with all of this energy and everything inside of me I will fight til I can't fight no more Levitate up off the hate, I gravitate to move my fate I have conquered my demons I have conquered my demons

I feel like we keep fighting a war deep within A war that we keep fighting, and we'll never win It seems that we just keep digging a deeper grave To pile up the bodies and to hide our shame Hustling doing anything to get paid Claiming that we're free, but we're really slaves Minds chained to the pulse of the machine Enslaved by the war machine And it goes on and on and on It's the blood in your vein, the thought in your brain The heart in your chest that drives you insane The need for us to break the cycle It's the rise and the fall, the ones who stand tall The dark before dawn, the need to move on I think it's time to break the cycle I feel like the hatred has us separated The heart and the spirit have been dislocated A whole generation miseducated A ticking time bomb to be detonated I've seen the best of us dragged through hell Yet we put a crown 'pon the infidel Shaking my head We'll forever be enslaved by the war machine And it goes on and on and on It's the blood in your vein, the thought in your brain The heart in your chest that drives you insane The need for us to break the cycle It's the rise and the fall, the ones who stand tall The dark before dawn, the need to move on I think it's time to break the cycle Break, break, break Break, break, break The cycle, the cycle It's the blood in your vein, the thought in your brain The heart in your chest that drives you insane The need for us to break the cycle It's the rise and fall, the ones who stand tall The dark before dawn, the need to move on Break, break, break
