The Four Owls - Knowledge lyrics

I've seen a lot of bullshit
Most of it wised me up clowns being foolish
Most of them hyped as fuck
We need to get clever or we'll
Just turn to piles of dust
That's meaning lost, feeling lost
Haven't left no tags to buff
The more you see
The more bleak it can be getting
Knowledge is power that's right
But it can do your fuckin' head in
Like you see them failing and you know
But, you couldn't tell them cause
They're too deep to listen
Even if you started yelling
"Wake up!" Fuck a PhD
Just stick to studying surroundings
Dudes actions, reactions, we're judging it
Learn to avoid bad attention
But catch a good mention
If it's gonna give your name some suspension
I wanna be coming out on top and
I don't mean the big house
I mean more nouse than what my brain concocts
I lose and regain the plot
Just to see the other side of things
We're training in life and expanding
What our mind can dream

Certain people think they know it all
They don't know themselves
Knowledge is a powerful thing
Worth more than wealth
Turn the pages of a book
Encapsulate the words that spell
Store it in my mind and use
It when the situation's dealt
Many never listen well
They lost their faith residing by the
Sides of life's wishing well
Just because it's written down
It ain't the truth
The paper sales, I read between the lines
The bullshit crimes and the kiss and tell
Looking at the bigger picture
Man it's like they framed themselves
We need to put aside our differences
Confide in life it'self
Defining what is right and what is hell
What gives us the right to put
Another life inside a cell
Who am I to write these lines and
Put them in your mind to melt?
That I couldn't figure out but figured
That I might as well
Sciences holds the truthful facts
Mysteries of life for real
The things to learn are limitless
Survival is the deepest skill
People hold the knowledge
Like the prophets grow weed at will

A dreamer looks out the window
I look inside myself
Knowledge is worth more than
Any amount of wealth
My mental health is tested by
The drugs I've ingested
I need to cut it out and
Think of time I've invested
My destinies manifested the man I am
In my youth I couldn't count past
The fingers on my hand
It was hard to understand anything
That they told me
Then music opened my mind and
Started to mould me
It showed me how to step out
The box I was confined in
The new mission for the Leaf
That fate reassigned him
The truth's there, it ain't hiding
Fuck what they're deeming us
It doesn't take a genius to see
The lies they're feedin' us
Nobody's life is meaningless
The mind is a powerful thing
Rule your own world
Standing in the tower as king
Spread your wings and hear
What the owl speaks
Cause the knowledge is there
To take like WikiLeaks

See, there's a major problem and
That's lack of understanding
People out for self and
Always acting underhanded people preach
Otherwise they're quick to pass judgement
Generalize, stereotype and never
Look for substance
House and car, that's a symbol of success
I don't want to spend my
Life sitting at a desk
Just to get what I don't need
Livin' with regret
Peace to all the hard workers
Though I mean no disrespect i'm just sayin'
You're not happy? Don't feel trapped in it
Use your mind, achieve, listen to me
That is some true shit
Build, create, you're not useless
Rally up the troops and then
Start a new movement of any type
Just watch how you spend your time
Many sucked in by the screen
Mass genocide of the mind
Now that's why I gotta pen and rhyme
Venom like spit's
Still fresh like lemon lime
