Edison (Original Mix) - Evoke.mp3

[00:13.912]I don't wanna wait another minute
[00:15.545]I'm beginning to get a venomous sentiment
[00:17.101]Administer the medicine
[00:17.918]My head has been spinning
[00:18.815]Been inventing like Thomas Edison
[00:19.670]I'm bitter, but I'll never be quitting cause I'm a veteran
[00:21.622]
[00:21.622]And I don't owe you a minute in my position
[00:23.162]I'm willing to take a second to spill
[00:24.489]And I'm second guessing the feeling
[00:25.321]And I'm repressing the skill in it
[00:26.393]I've been dressing to kill it
[00:27.093]Like I'm investing in villainy
[00:28.034]Are you feelin me?
[00:28.653]
[00:28.785]Bet you feel a bit better
[00:29.996]You better feel better
[00:30.514]A benefit's a benefit
[00:31.451]Better ever than never
[00:32.202]I never said I was clever
[00:33.246]I'd better get it together
[00:33.997]Cause everything that I said could be forgettable rhetoric
[00:35.804]
[00:36.102]God I hope not
[00:36.969]I don't got a whole lot
[00:37.808]Left to try, I testify I'm probably
[00:39.515]Next in line to wreck the mic
[00:40.900]You gotta be deaf to whine
[00:42.123]The best is mine, you follow me?
[00:43.303]
[00:43.478][Chorus]
[00:43.841]And I'm not sure what I've been fighting for
[00:50.080]It seems like armageddon is upon us
[00:56.307]
[00:57.638]Walking with the weight of the world in the way in front of me
[00:59.419]I'm talking 'bout the fate of the world & the way it's gonna be
[01:01.056]You're frontin' like they made up the data cause in your fantasy
[01:02.847]There's something that negated the way that I play, but I'm
[01:04.694]
[01:04.694]Trying to keep my focus; I'm hoping for something different
[01:06.400]While coping with your decisions; I'm choking and no one listens
[01:08.227]I'm broken but I'm not missin' a moment or reminiscin'
[01:10.023]I'm totally set on fixin' the motives of politicians
[01:11.977]Stop
[01:12.287]Corporations invest in domestic policy
[01:13.713]While stepping on the press and oppressing us into poverty
[01:15.578]Depressing that the pressure is messing with our equality
[01:17.378]The stress is progressing while they decimate our economy
[01:19.328]
[01:19.630]We can settle the battle by getting rid of the rubble
[01:21.244]But you're just hitting the bottle, because you're living for trouble
[01:23.044]Why can't you get on the level and be a bit of a rebel?
[01:24.795]When it's a bit of a struggle you shut down.
[01:26.631]
[01:26.631][Chorus]
[01:26.886]And I'm not sure what I've been fighting for
[01:33.538]It seems like armageddon is upon us
[01:40.922]
[01:41.026]Taking a break and I'm breakin em all
[01:42.056]Makin a bomb, takin' it all back
[01:43.220]Makin' it all smack, wakin' em all back up
[01:44.440]Thinkin' they're all that, bringin' em all back cause
[01:46.123]I'm bigger than all that rigamarole; that's just the
[01:47.998]Thing about all that, makin' em all jacked up
[01:49.614]I'm thinkin' of fallbacks, makin' a call back cause
[01:51.448]You're thinkin' I'm all whack, thinkin' I'm all smack talk
[01:53.480]Well let me tell you something
[01:55.165]
[01:55.165]It's a bit of a riddle, a little bit of a predicament
[01:57.114]A bit of a pickle to get rid of all the bitterness
[01:58.921]If you're cynical, sentimental, or mental: be invisible
[02:00.682]The minute is critical; the consequences are visceral
[02:02.591]
[02:02.591]Consider for a minute the implications
[02:03.944]Of being a different race
[02:04.681]When you live in a situation
[02:05.658]Where people in your nation
[02:06.574]Assume that it's your laziness
[02:07.595]Perfectly correlating with money and
[02:08.746]You're making it poorly
[02:09.766]
[02:09.766]The minute the system was invented they made a mockery
[02:11.536]Of men and of women we descended from, they forgot to read
[02:13.391]The minimal print up in the center that mentioned robbery
[02:15.148]Of men with a different color skin they considered property
[02:16.986]
[02:16.986]And I can sit & pretend that I did it properly
[02:18.712]But then again, the fact is I wasn't born into poverty
[02:20.557]A little big-headed, but the battle was never properly leveled
[02:22.357]I'm ahead but it was never because I ought to be
[02:24.245]
[02:24.245][Chorus]
[02:24.698]And I'm not sure what I've been fighting for
[02:31.868]It seems like armageddon is upon us
[02:38.938]And I'm not sure what I've been fighting for
[02:46.332]It seems like armageddon is upon us
