The Powers That Be

[Verse 1] They control my life with struggle and strife Said it once, I'll say it twice Just do right with the words that I write Break the world off of the vibes from this mic Yikes, vice Drugs got life spiked Making wrong seem right Good Christ, Almight Come with the might, go off like I might It's quite a life living in spite With a vendetta knife ripe for tyrant types While no one fights, for these rights And Light from insight fades into night Psych, hype They like that cubicle tight Hope replaced by fright I am the sun shown bright [Bridge] And I blame everything on the powers that be But what I hate about them is what I see in me And I blame everything on the powers that be But what I hate about them is what I see in me [Verse 2] Fluoride water, fast food order News clip author, a que hora? Hour of the time, hour of the mind Hour of the rhyme, hours pass me by Lately all the defamation Been weighing on my declarations Knowledge from the depths of stasis Goes beyond imagination Outside pacing patiently waiting Alive and well, how can you tell? It's all the spells, and the trips into hell From afar you tell, in regards to that Mainstream, I'm bizarre Whats the funk in that, cigar Tarot cards impact, my spars Black holes popping up cause I char every star Tired of life, and I ain't even live yet All this hype, and I ain't even sign yet I ain't having fun yet, I ain't even won yet I'm just here to upset, everyone who thinks I can, be outdone Young sun one will be sonned by none Till kingdom come bow to no one Keep the curtain swung or the wizards won When the bell is rung, and my song is sung When my neck is hung, and my body strung They gon' beat that drum, for the Styx been swum Cerberus gone dumb, I'll never succumb CROWLEY [Outro] And what do you want? For me to keep rapping? I'm making my mark Behold the Mark
