I wanna tell every person I see how I feel today I'm steppin out again for the first time I feel my knees lift me on up, and outta dismay I feel my tongue turn prose to rhyme Locked away, ball and chain, by a man who looks the same But it's me who came not him, he's gone away What was once opaque is now illuminated, was adrift has now found shore I've been livin in a prison that's been limitin my vision of myself, but not no more Why can't we see How easy It is to be free I've been missin’ what it is that gets us out of bed I've been swimming circles in this swamp that occupy my head You looked into my crying eyes, and a human you did see Turns out what I was looking for the whole time was looking right at me Why can't we see How easy It is to be free

Head down and I'm runnin Rat town where she told me not to go Boy they can see you comin When the street lights on, you best be back with your own Bustin out across the pavement tonight I gotta Sweat it out, run out the fight I lock eyes with a young man Lookin so hungry, suddenly right on me I've never seen a gun up close And now I'm staring at the trigger and the finger that holds My life an inch away Will I ever see another day I gotta love so fierce I can penetrate the hate Gotta love so fierce Gotta love so fierce I can penetrate the hate Cause I'm right here, no fear, surrounded by a world I can't fall out of. Hard gravel, cutting my knees As I kneel down, saying "Please, please, please" My heart slows, my mind is clear I feel the wind on my face, and I feel no fear As our eyes embrace, I hear myself singing I gotta love so fierce I can penetrate the hate Gotta love so fierce Gotta love so fierce I can penetrate the hate Cause I'm right here, no fear, surrounded by a world I can't fall out of. You know it may sound funny But I can see the sky for the first time today The air cools the sweat on my back I hear the train coming, from so far away Time can move so slow sometimes Letting some light to shine on who we really are Time can move so slow sometimes Letting some light to shine on who we really are I gotta love so fierce I can penetrate the hate Gotta love so fierce Gotta love so fierce I can penetrate the hate Cause I'm right here, no fear, surrounded by a world I can't fall out of.

Here I am, today feels the same as yesterday I need to say, I feel an emptiness inside and it won’t go way As I look into your eyes I hope you empathize what’s going on inside won’t leave me alone You see I’ve grown and I’m so much deeper then I’ve ever known I see you standing at my shore Don’t know if I can wait much more Let me open up and carry you Into my reservoir Here I am, follow me down, under the bridge of echoes Please hold my hand, I swear I won’t let go Take off your shoes, down by the river, an angel wading in the water Is this some sign from my father? 'Cause you’re that angel I’ve been seeing, mama I see you standing at my shore Don’t know if I can wait much more Let me open up and carry you Into my reservoir I’m holding you close, and I won’t let go The devil inside he don’t want me to know that the Falling is easy but landing it hurts and Seeing you hate me would be hell at its worst The air is saturated and my thoughts they all take flight Electric hearts are everywhere reflecting back the light I see myself more clearly than in the looking glass The river runs through my reflection connected to the past Connected to the ocean down to the darkest deeds I’ve done Up to the waves that break and foam and glisten in the sun I see you standing at my shore Don’t know if I can wait much more Let me open up and carry you Into my reservoir

Kids crowd around the radio Snowflakes dance in the morning rays Pray for no school so they can go and play I stare at the kitchen table Bills to pay Pray I can get to work today All the rain, and the sun don’t feel the same Seems hope just ain’t a friend I can depend on these days I wanna lose faith, but I know you feel the same The pain binds us together, we won’t get through this weather alone I don’t know how I got here I don’t know when things got so wrong I been under water for so long Got $200 bucks for the ring babe Who should we pay? Whoever leans hardest on me today All the rain, and the sun don’t feel the same Seems hope just ain’t a friend I can depend on these days I wanna lose faith, but I know you feel the same The pain binds us together, we won’t get through this weather alone All the rain You got your flat screen plasma Your 401 k Don’t you come cryin to me today I’ve been on hold for days now The end of the line These goddamn people, they just don’t get hard times All the rain, and the sun don’t feel the same Seems hope just ain’t a friend I can depend on these days I wanna lose faith, but I know you feel the same The pain binds us together, we won’t get through this weather alone All the rain

Fear is the weapon The only one they got But that don't mean nothing If we fear them not She's always been known to speak up Some say out of turn She don't mind too much getting burned He command his kingdom As the masses sight their seats She walk in, he feel his knees get weak Fear is the weapon The only one they got But that don't mean nothing If we fear them not He unveils his plans She say how can you dare The masses turn their heads and stare He say you should be more careful Of what you say and do Speak again, I will banish you Fear is the weapon The only one they got But that don't mean nothing If we fear them not [J-O's verse] Fear is the weapon, the one they got That means nothing if we fear them not. Long time ago history with Romans, Jews, Muslims, Christians Unhappy Politicians and Government Entropy they say Thee people, Enslave We the people lack of order decline dramatically, deprive our youth and Women psychologically from the root of a Tree, I'm just a falling leaf Our World Branches is giving us mad grief I bow out to Muscle hustle the truth to speak only to you, I turned into a troop AND Same script you already know, They Convincing you The same Route, the same go, Same M-O Social Media World of fear Freak Show Turning Cowards You Cowards out of my people Hustle us Lethal, Hide and call it Legal So turn from ya FEARS aim for the stars Be brave and all to win them all Fear is the weapon The only one they got But that don't mean nothing If we fear them not
