projections in a padded room

<sub>so accustomed to lowly living he forgot that he was a king
but in his blood he felt it bubbling
so many troubles underneath
only option was to sing

bible says Zechariah was blameless
still the fight isnt painless
just wont stay crying over injuries they inflict
call em out they wont remain nameless

fame and fortune calling
answered the door when hes knocking
let him come in
rest his feet sore from walking
he gets around
cuz everyones flocking
whats the point of wanting
when the Lord can take

went from having nothing to everything
when he learned to stop grasping
even stopped asking
pray without petitioning
only ambition to be ever living

if lifes a symphony its filled with misery
thats why they cry at the violin trilling string
make a green leaf go on a killing spree
so til the good things happen to me im clear seeing

mix beats until my ears bleeding
lifes never been fair ever since the first man dared to cheat it
still believe it matters whats wrong or right
unlike MJ saying beat it

music? i need it
all else i could leave it
go without
while boujees screaming cant even
still plan to receive the guap
hand me avos for guac on the toast
make the most of a dream sequence

leaving a scene as soon it reaches too many fiends
move to the next before its a has been
they collect in corners like webs
scared to progress to the spotlight
cuz to them the center is death

aint seen it all but i seen a lot
bottom and the top neither is what you thought it was
both sides saying not like us
i thought we were all one but obviously not

i remember when music brought us together
wanna make the world better
end up with a scarlet letter
farming weapons and armor for a higher level toon
got me firing projections in a padded room

projectiles go boom
theyre mad cuz its true
gaslight you but that wasnt you
youre rubber theyre glue
hate their own reflection so they send it to you
theyll never give credit when its due
its up to you

hollow heart chambers like chamber of commerce
turning pain to paper making anger economic
hearing angels beyond barriers like extra sonic
death is nothing but another product

they judge you by the out but God sees the heart of a man
its all you got to stand on in the end
build your house on solid land
empire falling faster than castles in the sand</sub>
