The Re-Education of Edmond Dantes

(Dialogue from the film 'The Count of Monte Cristo'): [Abbe Faria:] Do not commit the crime for which you now serve the sentence. God said vengeance is mine [Edmond Dantes:] I don't believe in God [Abbe Faria:] It doesn't matter. He believes in you [Psyonik:] Even when you don't believe in God.. He believes in you Just like you should believe in you You're worth more than what society says Don't be afraid to just look inside the mirror And create another era strip away what you don't ever Wanna see again, it could even be some friends Cuz you can never determine when your street could end Listen to the breeze, the wind - Yeah it's cool but… how many degrees of sin Must you commit against yourself before you bleed and bend If you want it better get it homie, carpe diem Your soul and your mind kinda different Your mind is a product of lifetime decisions Your soul is the fuel that produce the visions And look at all the hell we go through to live em Your greatest enemy is yourself And his condition will almost always reflect in your health So if you lose to em, you’ll prove to em That you weak, and that you’ll always move for em But if you prove to your inner in this race that you enter That you choose to be winners, nobody can lose if they finish And we could sit around a table and just talk about the fables That were able to exist because of us We could make a record play separate ways, plan toward the better days, and build a society that's founded on trust Now tell me how that sound? Lemme get yo input Or open your mind lemme get these thoughts in good Or let the sword insert let it cut deep I can no longer live life as such sheep It's your move, it's your call Make your decision or let the cards fall Never go blind, keep sharpening your mind Aces up the sleeves but kings and queens high One hand so I'm going all in Don't know about you but I found my calling I gave my all once, thought I'd never give again But if you keep giving you'll reap the dividends But that should never be the motivation The point I'm tryna make is that we keep it in rotation You could be poor in pocket, but rich in your soul Your heart could be a black hole while your kitchen is gold It's two side to each coin, a face and a place Hope your face ain't pretty while your place just wastes I learned my best lessons from a homeless man He said you got a gift you better hone this man Don't ever let nobody else own this man Or you could end up feeling like a soda can Crushed... Like many of our dreams in life In the darkness grasping at gleams of light Keep your chin up, be strong, seize the fight Cuz every little thing's gone be alright Some people try to make you fail and those people are weak But lions never lost sleep over opinions of sheep And lions use all four feet, and they still got pride So if you fall to your knees still pick up the stride And I know that you've been focused on the wrong And I know that you've been over this like peaches and Kong And I know that you've been hurt, and I know you still see all the dirt But I know if people change your mind people determine what you're worth And you don't wanna be labeled, that could make yourp soul disabled, and I'd rather have the freedom to move Don't know bout you I'm exhausting all that's put within my power to do I'm fighting to death till I can't draw breath And I'ma exercise class like the top of the set My soul is not immobile, I got the chance this global Sayin the least I think it's noble, no bull
