Akala - Sixteen 16's | Ep.4 lyrics

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
Those words uttered by the owners of flesh
Show us philosophy is dead
If it's just an idea
Without real-life practical steps
Oh is that so? Is the life
Of the mind no longer valid?
If we don't live what we
Think through daily habit's
I'm embarrassed to say, everyday I betray
How I think I'd like to live in this world
Am I insane? Or the same as the hypocrites
That I do disdain
What would I do in their shoes? I
Know what I'd like to claim
But there's no way we could say
How we would behave
If we had a whole different
Life up to this day
Is it innate? Encoded in our DNA?
Or in the spirit that is born
In this body that we enslave
What is happiness for you might
Be hell for me do you still get to pursue
It to the fullest degree? We'll see
