"when the walls / come tumblin' down
and what was once up in the air is on the ground/
when high is low / and quiet sound
when what you thought you knew / you see you don't know now
ain't America beautiful
sweetest place in the world to see
the patriotic and dutiful / are free to be all that they can be
just as long as they close their eyes
everything is the way it "seems"
and pray to GOD not to let anything / wake you from The American Dream
when the ground / starts caving in
and you can't find a way to reach your next of kin /
and the moon / no longer spins
around the Earth / the Sun will never shine again
lord America's wonderful / the way that they hid the truth from me
knew if they kept me comfortable / i wouldn't question authority
now i stand here with open eyes / and can't believe everything that i see
and when the dust settles we'll see that we
been living IN the American dream
( ...for spacious skies, and amber waves of ....grain)"

"they'll forget all about ya / move right on without ya
you're not even supposed to survive / better run better hide
they'll do nothing to save ya / won't alert you to danger
if they do then it won't be in time..
and if you think they care / you couldn't be more wrong
'cause it's been their plan / to rid the world of you all along
if you think they care / you couldn't be more wrong
it's been the plan / to ( oh oh oh oh oh oh)
if they feed and they clothe ya / better heed what i told ya
'cause they don't need your expensive behind / better run and hide
they'll refuse to support you / can no longer afford to
it's easier just to let you die........
won't get up off your ass to / get a job, take a class do
anything to enhance you / better run better hide
'cause they sho'll coming for ya / and they ain't gonna warn ya
their excuse will be that you don't try............hey
and if you think they care / you couldn't be more wrong
'cause its been their plan / to rid the world of you all along
you wouldn't even dare / to try and save your own
it's been the plan....(oh oh ooooh )
they'll forget all about ya / and move right on without you
you're not even supposed to survive / better run and hide
won't do nothin' to save ya / won't alert you to danger
if they do then it won't be in time...."

I Heard A Rumor

"I heard a rumor / on the computer
that the world's in a whole lotta trouble
i'm tryna find out / if it's real and
if everything is gonna be alright
i been talkin' / to some people
they been sayin' that it's all gonna change so
get on your knees and / pray to jesus
let him know everything that you're thinking
I heard a rumor that his sense of humor is /
the very thing that makes the world go round and /
he's probably laughin' at what's 'bout to happen 'cause /
he knows that we done really fucked up now /
it's in the water / it's in the wind
it's what they put up on the TV screen
it's how you listen / to what you hear and
what you do to make it be alright
I heard a rumor / that in the future
the human race is gonna cease to exist 'cause
of what we do here / we need something new here
we made a mess a bunch of prayin can't fix and
before you know it / the wind starts to blowin
the sky starts to snowin' / the fire starts to growin and
you start to feelin' / your skin start to peelin'
and down comes the ceiling / the ground starts to open and
trees are fallin' / and folks get to hollerin
throats start to swallowin' some man made potions and
to your surprise / right before your eyes
you'll see the water rises / up out the oceans ...but
don't let it fool ya / it's just a rumor
don't really mean that the world's in trouble
i'm probably trippin' / cause it seems like
everything is gonna be just fine
dont be listenin' / to them people
tryna make you think the world's gonna change 'cause
it never happened / it never will
them kinda folks are just sad and strange.......
....I heard a ruumor / that nigga Dula
done hopped his ass on a rocket ship that's
headed to Venus to / see what the scene is
strokin' his penis / like what the b-ness.........."

"I been checkin' how you do / all the things that you get away with
not respectin' how you move / through the game, all the lives you play with
you're protecting everything / that you spent a lifetime to hide
but I'm rejecting EVERYTHING / with the TRUTH that you cant deny
that's exactly what it is / the death of your lies my condolences
cause the the TRUTH don't need no proof to SHINE
SHINE / SHINE / SHINE / SHINE
I been checkin' how you do / the little things that you get away with

Lady Apathy

"I just assumed I, was what you wanted / cause you surrounded me with everything i needed
I was confused by, all your attention / I thought that we were on our way to something special
I didn't mean to, be so aggressive / you just seemed so receptive to all my advances
So I assumed I, was what you wanted / and i moved forward with my plans to make it happen
you gave me so much hope / i thought i was the man
as you fed my ego / i melted in your hands
you saw deep into me / right past what i looked like
boosted my self esteem / and helped me come alive
( and I believed you) how could you be so cruel to me
" and when pent up anger manifests itself through desperation,
it creates an illusion of being wanted and needed...God bless the dead"
I must admit my infatuation / created something in my mind that wasn't real
i didn't get, my own desperation / had me caught up inside my head ( i wanted you)\
so every smile and, sign of attention / i would interpret to mean more than was intended
and i assumed i, was what you wanted / but when i spoke my truth you acted so offended
cause what i thought was hope / was really apathy
came clean with how i felt / you turned and laughed at me
and as you walked away / i heard the voices say
as long as we pretend / he'll be a fool again
(and i believed them) how could you make a fool of me"

Colder

"I been stayin in / since its been getiin colder
I cant face the wind / and hate to look over my shoulder
lord, everything has changed
the worlds becomikng strange
so i gotta keep my mind right / before it gets any colder
makin sure i don't hold on to anger
bein aware of where i point my finger
clean up all the mess i left behind me
i wonder if its too late to try
i been feelin down / since its been gettin colder
take a look around / don't wait until its over
cause everything has changed / the worlds become so strange
maybe its time to tell it goodbye / before it gets any colder
cause aint no way to fix whats been broken now
and aint no way to change what, when, where why, how
i'll wrap up in the warm of the memories of what we knew was what to do
before all this coldness surrounds us"
