(intro:chicagozer0311)
Concrete canyons emerging transparent diverging windows
Eyes are windows to the the soul the city skyscrapers become soulless
In wholeness opaque eyes of the soul are soulless
Steely gunmetal exoskeleton frames
Reticent taciturn, desolate melancholic people in disarray dwindle and fade away
Headphones in, eyes down, on a glowing screen
Artificial intelligence replacing the meaning of what humanity used to mean
The demeanor is an utter disconnection
Social gatherings a construction of inner turmoil no longer recognizing our own reflection in the skyscraper window
Disconnected faces in a busy, flowing stream
Like salmon and sardines packed into the machine
The energy is obtuse and obscene
We replace prison walls with walls of data, matrix numbers are green a digital divine
Forgetting how to touch, forgetting everything our ancestors have seen
(chorus)
Oh, this society, chasing ghosts for gold
Stories bought and sold before they're even old
We cheer the winners, ignore the ones who fall
In this frantic, fragile, neon shopping mall
But in this world, can a single soul be free
From the silent chains of conformity?
(bridge)
There’s hope more, than a whisper in the wind
A gentle, reflective strength, upon which kindness can begin
Open your consciousness listen, to the words we've left unsaid
And start to build a future, from the lessons of the dead
Our ancestors conquering the dread laying a foundation for us to build our lives upon instead
A change is gonna come, if we stand up and unite
And step into the future, from the shadows to the light
[verse 1:chicagozer0311]
No one attacks there own more than we do
Remember when a difference of opinion didn’t mean
You couldn’t be friends begging some internet trolls for a redo
Every comment and reaction over analyzed if you weaponize the internet
Im saying please do
Cause ill drag you to hell with me too
Try forcing me to pick a side when both sides are insane
I’d rather align with the middle and maintain
When i memorize lyrics its from the soul
When i spit these forth unity love and respect is my goal
Republican, democratic, socialist, communist all these labels
Alliances get confused and blurred truths mixed with the fables
Turning on your brother over a difference of opinion lots of cain and ables
I’ve never over analyzed someone
If they were level headed never turned on my kenfolks brothers
And i are team 3d when we put you through debate tables
The gravity of our existence humanity is the apple of god’s eye
The universe dances with us issac newton’s offspring we rise with the rye
Cosmic impact hip hop reaches earth’s inhabitants like the manson iowa comet
It takes shape in forms of lyrics and word vomit
(chorus)
This is finally good bye realize
It’s time to let it go
I hope you know
I spilled my dreams
Like an inmate on death row
My overall message was hopefully peaceful
This is who i really am i’m not deceitful
[verse 2:chicagozer0311]
Objective should be to learn from one another or at the least agree to disagree
Now a days i’m not surprised if a view point makes someone want to kill me
When i said i was retiring from rapping i meant it
But i had things to get off my chest before i end it
Andre 3 stacks told me to play my part
Kdot told me make it come from the heart
Nas taught me to be literate and smart
Jay z showed me to invest from the start
Wayne confirmed most officers are genuine like paul blart
Eminem showed me marketing and how to fill a consumers cart
Adrenalinrushhh told me to keep family business on the hush
Mc escobarzzz told me to shoot my shot persue my crush
You can’t always be everything to
Everyone
That’s been made ever clear your always gonna be a villain
To someone your down fall they cheer
They love building you up just to tear you down
From behind a computer a single
Send your careers death doesn’t make a sound
Ancestral plane they watch over us
As their legacy falls destiny and fate rings will you answer its calls
(chorus)
This is finally good bye realize
It’s time to let it go
I hope you know
I spilled my dreams
Like an inmate on death row
My overall message was hopefully peaceful
This is who i really am i’m not deceitful
[verse 3:chicagozer0311]
To the reader your life has purpose
To the reader your life has meaning they can’t usurp us
To the reader your life is beautiful live your life how you want it be dutiful
To the reader your life is clerical
To the reader we all matter
As we gather just know the truth every time
I spit it was really you in that booth
(listener stop what your doing set it in motion
Its the next movement (background echo))
I represent we i represent you you represented me too
Black thought taught me to focus on my art from the start
Cole taught me to speak to the viewers soul that was my goal
Hip hops about unity not the color of your skin
Seeing eachother win
Came a long way from listening to here we are
By breaking benjamin sobbing a car after my fiance left me thought my life was over then
Now i’m married with kids and i realize it was just starting to begin
Through rapping i found a way to finally come to grips and forgive myself for my sin
Chicagozer0311 told you to love yourself
Maintain your mental health and treat everyone
With genuine love respect i’m out…. chicago were the future…
