AmOne pair of Geyes But see Ftwo different Gthings AmOne person Gcries but the Fother one Gsings AmYou walk around like everybody Gowes ya something Take what you Fgot, thank God for Gall that life brings The Ampoor man has it all but not conGtent with anything While the Frich man's hands are empty but he's Gsitting like a king

DmYouth is the engine of the world DmYouth is the engine of the world
AmStorm the halls of Cvanity AmFocus your Cenergy Into a Amlaser beam streaming shattered Clight unites to pierce Between the Amseams and it seems the Cworld open peering The children Amsee rapid fire for your Cmind Half a truth is just a Amlie they rub me the wrong Cway They say their way or fall beAmhind, seventeen disconnect left out The coCncept as to why, there's a spiritual emptiAmness So the youth them get vexed, skip class and get Cwrecked Feel with beer and cigarettes, to fill the hole in their Fchest!

JEmerusalem, if I forget you, C Fire not gonna come from me tongue JeGrusalem, if I forget you, DLet my right hand forget what it's supposed to do
In the Emancient days, we will return with no delay CPicking up the bounty and the spoils on our way GWe've been traveling from state to state And them Ddon't understand what they say Em3,000 years with no place to be And they Cwant me to give up my milk and honey Don't you Gsee, it's not about the land or the sea Not the Dcountry but the dwelling of his majesty
Chorus x2
EmRebuild the temple and the crown of glory CYears gone by, about sixty We were Gburned in the oven in this century And the Dgas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me I will Emnot lie down, I will not fall asleep And they Ccome overseas, yes they're trying to be free EGrase the demons out of our memory CDhange your name and your identity AfEmraid of the truth and our dark history CWhy is everybody always chasing we GCut off the roots of your family tree DDon't you know that's not the way to be
Chorus x2
EmCaught up in these ways, and the worlds gone craze Don't you Cknow it's just a phase, cause of the Simon says If GI forget the truth then my words won't penetrate Babylon Dburning in the place, can't see through the haze EmChop down all of them dirty ways, That's the Cprice that you pay for selling lies to the youth No Gway, not okay, oh No Dway, not okay, hey
EmAin't no one gonna break my stride CAin't no one gonna pull me Gdown Oh no, I Dgot to keep on moving stay alive

Slap me CDaft, we sat down in the back of the class To seize Emknowledge we don't need, I forgot my late pass But I'm Dmearly to a arrival beatbox, you got raps? Meet me Emon the football field, don't sleep on field, the quarterback No one Cclapped when we locked in, it was removal of our class But my Emflag got captured and I fell between the cracks My Dmtool for inspiration turned into a handicap No Emmatter how I tried, I just couldn't fill the gaps Those Cwhipper snappers, they got trapped old chap They Emlost the way, they never had the right map NeeDmded a sneak attack to slap the demons off my back So I Empicked for the shtetl dreamed big I wouldn't settle Put the Cpedal to the metal and returned to fundamentals I'll Emnever forget running through the hall with all y'all rebels Roaming Dmthrough the high land, young bucks invincible Echoes Emin my brain, if kids report to the principle
Chorus:
FSubstance dulls the mind Traife wiDmne clouds the heart You can't Amsew a stitch with one hand While you're Gtaking it apart FBright lights might look nice But they Dmsure won't make you sharp You can't Amsew a stitch with one hand While you're Gtaking it apart
Yeah, misty Cmorning and my mom's a mess To make matters Emworse dog my pops is stressed, life is a test Make the Dmgrade or catch an F, now death is all that's left To pEmonder I wander off hoping to catch my breath And Chold it, mold my memories from untold scripts And roll Emup in a tornado twist, now I'm certain There's a Dmpertinent reason I'm on this earth Seasons change in white Emplains, but we remain alert When new school years apCpear fools fear for a failure and crawl away In Emtears, I play Popeye the Sailor and stay with spinach Dm We walk the halls with a grimace Yeah they gossip in Emgroups, I try to mind my business and tell the truth For Cinstance I listen, see it all with basketball court Emvision
Ignoring ignorance in fields of fiction
We lean Dmback in the calmest position And embrace the Emhonesty found within our tension, What's good?
Chorus Riff
AmTrapped in the elevator of your mind Is it real, what will you find behind the door Your imaginations put you in a bind Around you there's a cloud of gloom Swallow the key, lock yourself in a room Can't see outside of your universe
C No more war, there won't be anymore hunger Em No jealousy, not even competition
Let Dmgo, release, you hold the keys EmTime we evaporate into the breeze CWe are nothing, we are something Let Emgo, release, you hold the keys It's Dmtime we evaporate into the breeze We Emare nothing, we'll be something CWelcome to the desert of my soul You can Emstay if you like, there's room for one more Dm There's room for one more Em
