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

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
