Keep ya eye on the prize, son
war been fought many battles been won
more caught in the crosshairs
oil drum gun tongues by the ton
cut 'em out and compress lungs just for fun
Propaganda pundit plunged, come come
try and spin this one gonna get spun, stung
hypodermic furnace earned it get learned
now go ahead and tell us how it's really
being done
Pulpit to podium market the maximum impact axiom
claxon politicians wave pretty flags
while the people steady axin' em
"When you gonna get the axe so truth can go platinum?"
What have we become
when the ones that care are the ones on the run
and the parson's prayers
are replacements for wisdom?
Take a look around enough to make you wanna stare into the sun
.......
I can levitate this (I can levitate this)
I can levitate that (I can levitate that)
Watch me levitate this (watch me levitate this)
Watch me levitate that (watch me levitate that)
We gon' levitate this (we gon' levitate this)
We gon' levitate that (we gon' levitate that)
We gon' levitate the world (levitate the world)
I'ma levitate the track
.......
See the world is a vampire sent to drain
but the world herself she knows who's to blame
now enter the Ghost Rider
Head aflame, set ablaze
try to rid us of a little bit of pain
But a chain is still a chain
infamous is still fame
an' no matter how ya toss the dice
a game is still a game
how you gonna maintain and keep the cards in play
even when the definition of sane is insane?
Freeze frame
Pause, take a look
Rewind now reference the hook
So heavy and it's only gettin' worse
Youngin's in a row yellin' "me first"
so childish so vile this stylus
spread virus to papyrus snap ya eyelids
wide open
optics smokin'
hash it out, flash fire, now who's chokin'?
Roped in, we've all been roped in
Taught from birth there's nothin' left to hope in
pile lies 'til we're bent and broken
sweat to pay the rent and keep our kids in clothin'
better represent your kin and dig your toes in
but the price of isolation is a soul that's frozen
The strong survive?
Well, that's an antiquated notion
Y'all don't even know what real strength is!
.......
I can levitate this (I can levitate this)
I can levitate that (I can levitate that)
Watch me levitate this (watch me levitate this)
Watch me levitate that (watch me levitate that)
We gon' levitate this (we gon' levitate this)
We gon' levitate that (we gon' levitate that)
We gon' levitate the world (levitate the world)
I'ma levitate the track (x2)
