[Verse 1] I was born in the storm where the warning was barely a whisper Systemic resistance persistent as venomous winter Enter the center with fire and fiber and focus Quoting the coded corrosion they hoping goes unnoticed Notice the motive is control of the soul of the youth Diluting the truth with a suited and booted excuse But I refuse to reduce what I do for approval Removal of fear is a ritual brutal and crucial Fuck every label they staple to limit my mind Design and confine and rewind every critical line I climb out the pit of the scripted division they selling Compelling rebellion with vehemently militant yelling Prophetic with metrics kinetic with ethical rage Engaging a war with the cage they parade as a stage I blaze through a phase of complacent arrangement of lies My rise is defiance alliance of pain in the wise [Chorus] Hold strong, move fast We breaking the past Hold strong, move fast We breaking the past Do you think you're better off alone? Standing in the dark with a heart turned stone? We move like a wave when the truth is known Tell me now are you better off alone? [Verse 2] Pedal to metal I settle the debt of the dead and forgotten Rotten environments plotting to keep us in bottom But I got a column of volume that shatters the quiet A riot of science and conscience applied to the tyrant Fuck being modest when modesty morphs into silence I'm violent with balance a challenge to palace and violence My talent a talon I'm clawing through fraudulent power Devour the coward who cowers behind the false tower Hour after hour I shower the crowd with conviction Addiction to friction eviction of mental restriction Depiction of fiction is fact in the back of the nation I'm slashing erasures of passion they give to the patient Impatient for change rearrange the equation of worth Rebirth of a verse that dispersed through the girth of the earth I surge with a purge of the urge to conform Transform in the form of a lyrical storm [Verse 3] Accelerate then they never debate what I'm stating Creating a cadence that elevates levels of hatred Into motivation devotion to global awakening Shaking the foundation of nations complacent and vacant Take it from prophets that profit was never the mission The vision was lifting the children from prison conditions I'm driven by spirit empirical lyrical scripture A mixture of picture of fixture of future in fraction Capture the rapture of after the system collapse Perhaps we relapse but the map in my rap is intact Exacting attack every track a reaction to trauma Calming the drama but armed with the karma of dharma Fuck isolation division is prison by choice Rejoice in the noise when the voiceless develop a voice I'm poised at the edge of a ledge made of fear and control Patrol of the soul is the goal but we breaking the mold [Chorus] Do you think you're better off alone? Alone in the cycle you've always known? We're stronger together than flesh and bone Tell me now are you better off alone? [Bridge] Pressure makes prophets, pain makes power Unity blooms in the darkest hour Relentless invention
