Tryin to Understand (The World)

4 AM time to rise and grind get the kids out of bed so I can catch this flight on a paper chase lately trying to build this life been lost in the shuffle, been lost in the stars been lost in the hustle, finding pieces of the puzzle the haters start to shout, find a muzzle for that mouth West Coast living but my core is Dirty South assuming what you know but you don't know what I'm about chilling in my lane, doing my own thing building something epic, might even bring some change even if it's small, the lasting impact will remain peace never comes without sacrifice and pain galactic, we looking at the skies, it's drastic they trying to leave the planet, too tragic invest a billion dollars like magic while the rest of us are choking on plastic trying to understand the world it ain't nothing but a whirl changing so fast, these moments don't last keep on moving forward 'til we forget the past automate the cars, automate the system automate your life soon they'll automate the prisons invasion of the robots, replace all the humans perfection in the program, we blindly consuming I see it all coming yet I can't make it clear technology theology is what we're holding near strap us to the VR, start wondering who we are the bound of reality have never strayed this far so where is it going? I have no clue but I have to keep flowing I have to bring awareness, I have to flip the token against all the odds I will show you what I've chosen I will fight for my freedom no amount of bling will impede on my kingdom no amount of pressure will implode my being I will stomp my feet and I will keep on singing trying to understand the world it ain't nothing but a whirl changing so fast, these moments don't last keep on moving forward 'til we forget the past
