We're unable to change, prisoners chained
We're the blind in Plato's allegory of the cave
Only seeing shadows, the masses deceived at a fast rate
Speak a little truth and everyone goes irate
I can't explain why, mother f*ckers chase the fame
Here today, gone tomorrow
Like a drop of rain, we evaporate
Stay humble, our graves look the same
We all have an expiration date, yet we live like death can wait
Like we won't meet God on Judgment Day
Will we be raised? Or cast into eternal flames?
A fate we can't escape should be put in sin to shame
Instead, we put it on display and disgrace those who walk in faith
I don't say this to make you afraid, just don't let the world suffocate your faith
Keep it real till you see your grave
'Till you see your grave
Never commonplace, never commonplace
Humankind ain't always kind, the grass ain't always greener on the other side
Win your battles in silence and you will see that
Humankind ain't always kind, the grass ain't always greener on the other side
Win your battles in silence and you will see that
I've never been blind to your ways
You shy away, while you watch the world change
But you can't escape your fate
Gavel's coming down, tell me what's the verdict now
Put you on trial, hand on top of the bible
Are you prepared to swear upon the Lord?
Better think twice, it's a double-edged sword
We know you've been hiding in the shadows
But we're here to shine some light, it's time to decide
I'll help you find the answers, only you can make the choice
You're gonna have to choose what really matters
Will you, Will you, rise on occasion? Guilty by association
Does it make you proud when your days mean nothing?
When you look in the mirror does it mean something?
Humankind ain't always kind, the grass ain't always greener on the other side
Win your battles in silence and you will see that
Humankind ain't always kind, the grass ain't always greener on the other side
Win your battles in silence and you will see that
Brother killed brother in vain, could we have an Abel without Cain?
These times be so strange, can we look inside and make a change?
How do we spend all of our money, knowing someone on the streets is going hungry?
How do we turn a blind eye, let the time pass by
Without looking up and thanking God above the sky?
Humankind ain't always kind, the grass ain't always greener on the other side
Win your battles in silence and you will see that
Humankind ain't always kind, the grass ain't always greener on the other side
Win your battles in silence and you will see that
