lyrics

I think if I were told the truth as a younger child, I'd be a better person now.

veteran in his prime, I still have it
the will to spill magic from my gills, illmatic--
you're either asleep or lazy and I'm using that advantage
mind me asking what the fuck you're doing on my planet?
i used to be depressed, smothered with doubt and fear
now I plan to be around for another thousand years
can any one of you really understand the devotion ?
raising the sea levels when one of my hands in motion
i dedicate this, to the basics of which I built upon--
-- to fill the dawn, negating the abyss
i had to step aside and become detach from the customs
there was a hole in my soul that was not patchable with substance
see what they teach you in this culture of war
is that patience is not a virtue, sculpting you whores
marriage is not real, adults get divorced
you have god inside, im just calling him forth
michelangelo, painting an ancient stone calamity
unweaving the subterfuge of judeo-christianity
past withering away with the power of present
and our ability to scour it with just a sentence
