B.o.B - Born to Die lyrics
[B.o.B - Born to Die lyrics]
Not a human, not afraid
I will not comply, I will not obey
See the plan is to depopulate
But the body can overcome anything
Fuck what a doctor say
Fans shaking me like Bobby wake up
Chip on my shoulder, I was holdin' a grudge
I wanted to be loved more
Than I wanted to love
But hey what can I say
Fame's a hell of a drug
Born a slave to a tyrant
It's goin' take more than
Just petitions and riots
Are we headed for a future
Of being indebted to credit
Hopin' the next leader elected will
Trump the one we beheaded
Words the wealthiest rappers will never utter
'Them checks they throwin' to
Niggas a motherfucker'
Seems like the future was brighter
When I was younger
(Seems like the future was brighter
When I was younger)
I'm torn between performing and
Rewriting the norm
Am I born to transform or just
To die and move on
Be the life that people mourn
While reciting all my songs
To the battle I am sword dull armor worn
Beaten down to the pulp for being different
You question old tradition they
Just say you superstitious
Like a snake that eats it's own tail
The economic system
Public schools the babysitter
Health care is the modern day Adolf Hitler
Fact check, ever since the internet
Molestation multiplied by a million percent
Your aunts and uncles
Niece and nephews all align with the shit
History shows for speaking up my
Whole life is at risk
Yeah I'm cocky, kamikaze
Who gon' stop me? Annunaki
Illuminati? Neo Nazis? They do me
How they do Cosby
When you winnin' they gon' love you
Till you lose like Ronda Rousey
Every revolutionary they execute 'em proudly
It go JFK, nope, MLK, nope
Since Lennon got smoked
It's clear they don't want us to have hope
They tore down our houses
Replaced it with dope
And say that it's our fault, false!
You wanted to fight so you wanna be brave
So you found the light and you've seen
The truth and you feel betrayed
Well it comes with cost a price too large
Cause if we're really just born to die
I'd rather never been born at all
Stay in school they said
Use your tools they said
But being on TV looks pretty cool I said
That's true I said, must I remind myself
These corporations aren't your friends
You should've signed yourself
They they who are they? They are us
We are they the pyramids started at the top
We just mimic and behave
The same way, Babylon brainwaves
Human incarceration's the modern
Day slave trade cost of college
Cost of living so high you can't maintain
All you can do is sell pills, drink tea
And waist train
Struggle to make mortgage and re-up by payday
And the wealthiest families split
It up eight ways
You wanted to fight so you wanna be brave
So you found the light and you've seen
The truth and you feel betrayed
Well it comes with cost a price too large
Cause if we're really just born to die
I'd rather never been born at all
I will not comply, I will not obey
See the plan is to depopulate
But the body can overcome anything
Fuck what a doctor say
Fans shaking me like Bobby wake up
Chip on my shoulder, I was holdin' a grudge
