put me in a broken home ill turn it to a mansion, a palace
give me a dirty cup ill turn it into lil jon's chalice
balance of power ruins these minds of weaker people
who doesn't see beneath this surface there's greater evil
like the moment you shine, every moment that your famous
the game is confusing, using you, jokers in a circus
nowadays i'm nervous when the purpose is defeated
believing in something bigger is just bound to be deleted
expecting something different is the outcome of insanity
happily ever after the nevers of reality
peace and love and all the good things above
in containers of a drug like an opium
overdose to focus, my emotion, my motive, my hesitation
like guns, locked and loaded, send a communication
and the message it begins, "should a Dark Knight rise,
even superhero's fall, every man has a price"
Hook:
in this day... where every man goes blind
the only thing you see is, what you left behind
in this day... where the sun don't shine
a bullet in your head is what, crossed your mind
Verse 2:
now is it my position to tell you what you should listen to
is information granted to topple the ones on top of you
if knowledge is power then the root of all evil
are people who makes comparisons between fair and equal
so judge and jury, and hypocritiques in the pack
what goes around will come around and stab you in the back
surely as i know it, its maybe my new lowest
the closer the oppurtunity comes i run over it
spinning the wheels of destiny, never to hit the lottery
lot of luck involved with physical technicalities
barely bury the very truth we deny
for moments of happiness several seconds of sunshine
like rolling the dice, everybody gets a numb3r
and the bottom of the roll gets delivered in a gutter
its butter to a knife like a shadow to a light
and the only thing you change is the outcome of your life
Hook:
in this day... where every day goes night
you can never take back, what you take from life
in this day... as you hold this knife
you're a puppet on a string, can't control your life
Verse 3:
if its fame and fortune the money that really matters most
then paper trails are nothing like catching another friendly ghost
this parasite and host are like a banquet to the toast
closest things in common are the bullets from your throats
so user beware, use of immediate software
attracts a bad attention like appliance of spyware
and everybody knows the only way to keep a secret, the secret
is kill the memory before it gets repeated
don't wanna be reminded of finding a different mindstate
state of mind is missing when there's nothing in the bank
the tank is half empty, putting pressure on the gas
and the only question now, how long will i last
its a mountain of a drive, and im barely at the median
God is this a joke, you must be a comedian
cuhz every other path and with every other way
comes 25 to life and forever and a day
Hook:
in this day... where you wish to die
and the memories you hold can't be kept alive
and this day... hope it ends tonight
but you know that this day is 25 to life
