Dropping the ball on these things that'll come to you fast

I be going too slow

Makin' excuses each step of the way

And I got all these chances I blow

When. Will. I.

Determine that there ain't

Pyramids, echelons, whereupon tyranny reigns on the top

And forcing me to all the shit I don't even want to do

Go! This is the life that your parents have made you

And this is your chance to go get what they gave you

So why am I wasting the time that I got here meeting the status quo

What can I say

I do what I do

These unsaid rules they make me a fool

Illusion, deluding

These laws are made up they are not absolute

Crew

Joining a crew but then losing your you

Be in the crowd just not in the few

Totalitarian hold on me burying

Need to conform to the rules

Be a tool

Go in a room just to find people there are but one and the same

Cliche, hide all the things that will make you unique

For things that will give you the favor

Becking and calling to neighbors

Scissors to you are the paper

Weight like the whole of a freighter

Man, faking this labor

Stripping the soul of its whistles and bells

Building a cage in which you're in a cell

Boxing you in make you forget that you

Need no permission to do as you will

Entity

Becoming so bland you use your identity

Looking down on others gazing with bad enmity

In so doing yeah you're losing empathy

Lose your voice

Up in the sea of others

Ashes to ashes to dust to dust

Cover, disguise, and smother

Lose your choice

Turn into somethin' homogenous

Stay in the box forever and ever because of all of your cautiousness

Lose your freedom

To these so-called brothers

Adding up layers and layers of same in an effort to match each other

Hold on my baby

Oh you don't wash away

Freeing isn't shame

Shake it

Hold on baby

I want you to break to free

I want to live finally free

This is the difference from peacock to pigeon

From one side we flaunt what we cook in the kitchen

The other we lock behind layers, forbidden

To express the power lest judgment permitting

Okay, need to belong to something

Okay, needed a tribe or something

Okay, feelings aside, be as that may, this what we say is

I don't want your status quo

But I don't wanna be alone

Hiding mirrors in myself

Just to be broken up by shards of someone else

And I don't wanna find nobody

Out here being truer me myself

Gotta take the ropes off, sorry

And remember that unique's not to quell so

Hold on my baby

Oh you don't wash away

Freeing isn't shame
