Pegz, Jace XL - Equilibrium (Equilibrium) lyrics

Before I lose my-
Mind, lose my soul, lose my faith
Living in the shadows of a bureaucratic state
Before I lose my-
Rights, lose my hopes, lose my space
We all know we're living in a fantasy
It's fake before I lose my-

I'm a pragmatic fool in a utopian room
A followed guru lookin' for a moment of truth
Mathematic, rap addict, smokin' a doob
Holding a mic straight out the Fallopian tube
Ghost in a room, haunted by colonial roots
Black tears in my eyes stain
The sole of my boots
Show and improve, step into the vocal booth
And hang the grand dragon's head
In my trophy room kid, I refuse to pledge my
Support for a system
That thinks justice is found
In the law's definition
I see the ethics of man in a war of attrition
Society based on right-wing corporatism
Before John Mulan thought about submission
Slit his own throat lyin' on
The floor of a prison
It's a resistance, power to the people
Tamil freedom birds, balanced on a steeple
Occupy the streets against the
Elements of evil develop in my mind like
An alchemist's cerebral
I'm a man of peace, challenge and defeat you
With a cyanide cap in the
Cavity of each tooth

Before I lose my-
Mind, lose my soul, lose my faith
Living in the shadows of a bureaucratic state
Before I lose my-
Rights, lose my hopes, lose my space
We all know we're living in a fantasy
It's fake before I lose my-

I'm not a tough guy, I'm just tryna be honest
Tryna learn from mistakes
And apply the knowledge
I'm not a profit protected by
The eye of Horus i've been betrayed and sold
Out like Michael Collins i'm not a hippy
But I can see the price of progress
Being written on the trees
Of our dyin' forests have we forgotten our
Natural environment's problems?
Or the consequence of us
Buying these products?
I try and be conscious of
The brands that I keep
But, I'm a walking contradiction
With Max on my feet
I write rhymes on a Mac Book, Adam and Eve
And applicate the rights for a
Man in the street i can't breathe in a city
Full of capitalist greed
Where my actions contradict the
Standards I preach

Before I lose my-
Mind, lose my soul, lose my faith
Living in the shadows of a bureaucratic state
Before I lose my-
Rights, lose my hopes, lose my space
We all know we're living in a fantasy
It's fake before I lose my-

I pray the people rise up
With Egypt's vigilance
Peace for Libya, free the Syrians
Bolivian flowin' through my geeze-meridian
Tryna find balance, equilibrium
I'm trapped in a world
That deceives it's citizens
I'm in too deep to plead my innocence
Livin' in the peak, smoke, preach and idioms
Complicit in the crimes that
I deem as hideous
Everyday myriads of greed and ignorance
I feel like an infidel that seeks deliverance
Democracy is dead, hopes of prophecy
Lost in translation like Homer's Odyssey
A free soul practisin' his own philosophy
Like protesting channel in the
Ghost of Socrates
This is post-apocalypse, social commentary
Killin' in the name of global poverty

Before I lose my-
Mind, lose my soul, lose my faith
Living in the shadows of a bureaucratic state
Before I lose my-
Rights, lose my hopes, lose my space
We all know we're living in a fantasy
It's fake before I lose my-
Before I lose my- before I lose my-
