Artificial Existence

Lyrics

[Intro] Still messing around Still playing The gingerbread house is going to last forever, ain't it? [Verse 1] When there's no more jobs to go to and desperation has enclosed you And it's harder to get water plus there's no food No seeds beneath the earth to grow And all the town's electric circuits blow and cell phones and Internet don't work no more When ain't no alcohol inside the bar And the gas station is out of gas so you can't even drive your car And folks panic and start to act out And you can't even check the status of the planet 'cause the television is blacked out No basketball or football games to watch, the flames are hot And it won't matter how many nice cars and chains you got Your hand grips your pistol, the land you stand in is dismal And the radio won't transmit a signal Picture yourself alive to see that, how will you react When you can't find no fast-food places to eat at? And now it won't be long before you know that something's wrong 'Cause future circumstances done snatched you out of your comfort zone [Chorus] Caught in the midst of this modern mental commitment You thinking that every thought I spit you is distant You so conditioned it's hard to get you to listen You blindly living this artificial existence Caught in the midst of this modern mental commitment You thinking that every thought I spit you is distant You so conditioned it's hard to get you to listen You blindly living this artificial existence [Verse 2] Let me give you something to think about Imagine yourself being stuck-out even with plenty of cash inside your bank account Malicious hearts, you can't tally the cost And your money's irrelevant cause all its value is lost Nerves bad, all your cigarettes is gone, no smoking No more partying, the night clubs are no longer open And you care now because you scared now, it's not a game Nobody to borrow from 'cause their condition's the same The same madness repeated daily Shaky 'cause everything you see is crazy, no diapers or formula to feed your baby You never thought for one second dude That you see normal people begging and threatening you over a spec of food Your darkest day, you now know it You been hearing about this time for years but kept playing around and didn't prepare for it Now everyone you know is hopeless and lifeless The result of the United State's economical crisis [Chorus] Caught in the midst of this modern mental commitment You thinking that every thought I spit you is distant You so conditioned it's hard to get you to listen You blindly living this artificial existence Caught in the midst of this modern mental commitment You thinking that every thought I spit you is distant You so conditioned it's hard to get you to listen You blindly living this artificial existence [Verse 3] You ask yourself how did it get this way? Night and day suffering in pistol play, a whole nation draped in chaos and disarray Saw human morals drift astray The conditions are so inflated with hate that it made some people forget to pray Live or die, starve or not And it's no longer safe to walk the block because the streets is hotter than a coffee pot You never thought you'd see this system fall The payback for years of victory y'all, so many actions, I can't list 'em all Now it's exposed how its riches arose Every state and every city, all its businesses is closed So ask yourself is your future really worth something? (Is it?) Or are you still only concerned with getting high or tryna twerk somethin' Can you defend your family and your spouse? How many of y'all have got at least two months of food stored up in your house? Go hard no matter how it seems 'Cause what I'm describing to you is true reality, the world you live in now's a dream [Chorus] Caught in the midst of this modern mental commitment You thinking that every thought I spit you is distant You so conditioned it's hard to get you to listen You blindly living this artificial existence [Outro] Right now I want you to stop And just look around you Look to your left and to your right, up, down Notice your surroundings And picture that being gone in a blink of a eye No food, mass hysteria in the streets Hell, even the animals got sense enough to store food away Prepare yourself for a day when this life won't be as you see it now
