Sitting back watching the Eyewitness news, a channel I'd never seen
But the more I find out which eyewitnesses the world, I wonder who sees me
See, every day I find myself taking the planet's oldest remedy
'Cause it makes the third eye unblind to the mind destruction that's in plain visibility
I'm tripping off the mind manipulation that 85 percent of us don't have control of
And the 15 percent controlling the population of society don't remember where their soul was
New ages entertainment seems to be more of a faction
While proper education seems to be more of a distraction
I'm staring at the world with my naked eye, got a clear vision
So now I gotta testify about real living
While I'm looking at the world news
Bad is good if you're looking through the world's view
Everybody wants to chase the devil
But they don't even know it because they're blinded
Distracted by the bright lights and diamonds
Everybody wants the nice life, reclining
Selling their souls and it's quite trifling
But the more I think about it
We don't even own our souls, they belong to God
So how we sold our souls?
Everybody's infatuated with this Illuminati
But it's all propaganda when you ask me
We in the last of the last days
And you can see it because everybody's increasing in their bad ways
And it's about to go from bad to worse
Trying to stay above the dirt and outlast the curse
As we change in the ways of the future
We prepare for a new way of living
But we can't seem to change our thinking
Holding on as the time keeps on slipping
Everybody asks me, "What happened to conscious rap?"
And I simply tell 'em, "The money and the power"
MC's have been silenced by the dollar
So with the struggle, they don't want to be bothered
Emergency, the game's unresponsive
Turn on the radio, you're listening to garbage
Nine out of ten of their hit songs is nonsense
I need somebody to tell me how they got in here
Hey young world, world (the world is stupid)
Hey young world, world (this ain't music)
Hey young world, world (don't abuse it)
Hey young world, world (don't be foolish)
Yeah, we in the last of the last days
And you can see it because everybody's increasing in their bad ways
And it's about to go from bad to worse
Trying to stay above the dirt and outlast the curse
As we change in the ways of the future
We prepare for a new way of living
But we can't seem to change our thinking
Holding on as the time keeps on slipping
(They) they don't know love, (they) they don't know life
(They) they don't know wrong (cold world), (they) they don't know right
(They) they don't know peace (you know freedom of speech in this country has always came with a cost)
(They) they don't know truth
(They) they don't know me (the change in the first amendment)
(They) they don't know you (seems to be the first thing lost)
(Livelihood is less likely to be what it used to be)
(And the hatred we have within ourselves blindfolded us from the things that we should've seen)
(We pledge allegiance to a world with little or no religion)
(As we take a step closer to man's mission without vision)
As we change in the ways of the future
We prepare for a new way of living
But we can't seem to change our thinking
Holding on as the time keeps on slipping
As we change in the waves of the future
We prepare for a new way of living
But we can't seem to change our thinking
Holding on as the time keeps on slipping
Into the future we go
Where we'll end up, we never know
What about your future?
What about your future?
