"Synthetic" lyrics
(feat. Locksmith)
It's the oxygen we breathing, the food that we eating
The water that we drinking, it's all synthetic
The things that we seeing, the lies we believing
The lives that we leading, it's all synthetic
So how can we survive in this world that we never chose?
It's the only one we've ever known
So how can we survive in this world that we never chose?
It's the only one we've ever known
I'm tryna travel the globe, living like Al Capone
Soon as they turn the lights on, you see me shining bright with all my diamonds
The captain of the ship, this trip or journey you could ride on
The pressure built, it start to feel like the grip of a python
I plot like mobsters with accomplices and all my paisans
The book I write on is right on, they know that I'm righteous
I let the flow enlighten, I let the tone entice 'em
I ran my route, let's go for more like Minnesota Vikings
I think my persona's timeless, built it all, I'm being honest
Coming from the lowest vantage, I don't think they understand it
Overworked and overplanned it, mastermind, the man that manage
I'm obsessed, I might be manic, I'm invested in the standard
A million miles, I ran it around this shallow planet
We in the simulation, virtually communicating
What's real and what's fake? The distinction is obscure and tainted
I'm still unsure it's either-or, of course it's complicated
It's the oxygen we breathing, the food that we eating
The water that we drinking, it's all synthetic
The things that we seeing, the lies we believing
The lives that we leading, it's all synthetic
So how can we survive in this world that we never chose?
It's the only one we've ever known
So how can we survive in this world that we never chose?
It's the only one we've ever known (Yo)
Look a rebel in his eyes, devil in disguise, deaf within the lies
Well with in his guise, selfish with his pie, give me a slice of that
The sanctuary these sanctions carry can bury us alive
Nefarious the vibe, vie for whatever life you track
I used to sit in my sister's truck
Absorbing the sort of culture that corporate America wouldn't accept at first
Yet every other commercial spot is stocked with imagery
The remedy was unbalanced, better obey your thirst
Chirping at the tip of your master's foot, your ass is shook
Stimulus package that package money that they haven't took
Money don't trickle down, it trickles up
Fatten pigs for the slaughter, the farmer don't give a [*beep*]
About the livestock, stop trying to survive, ahk
Live your life to flourish, malnourished can never confine Lock
Learn to read between the lines of the scripture
'Cause either you're all prophetic or synthetic
It's the oxygen we breathing, the food that we eating
The water that we drinking, it's all synthetic
The things that we seeing, the lies we believing
The lives that we leading, it's all synthetic
So how can we survive in this world that we never chose?
It's the only one we've ever known
So how can we survive in this world that we never chose?
It's the only one we've ever known
The water that we drinking, it's all synthetic
The things that we seeing, the lies we believing
The lives that we leading, it's all synthetic
So how can we survive in this world that we never chose?
It's the only one we've ever known
So how can we survive in this world that we never chose?
It's the only one we've ever known
I'm tryna travel the globe, living like Al Capone
Soon as they turn the lights on, you see me shining bright with all my diamonds
