Lyrics
I saw the sky part like the Red Sea
The world is nervous
I saw the sun cry and bleed
The world is getting nervous
I saw my best friend become my enemy
Ooh, I'm nervous
Everything ain't what it's supposed to be
You should be nervous
I trust no man on face value, name, or reputation
These are years in my face that came with education
The last of the thinkers all but died out
Or else studied the beast close from inside out
From the streets we came, confused, abused creatures
Suspended in the ether, students without a teacher
Gangs without a leader, aloof as to how we free the
Mind without the body, should mobility sour
It just kills me how the game simply came and went
Yes, I'm guilty for still looking for my name in print
I spent a while out in the what-nots, the joke's on me
I even smiled in my mug shot to catch the moment
How much confusion have oppressors produced this year?
The blind know not the difference between truth and fear
As with all things, one day I'll be gone from here
But not before I tell the world that John was here
I saw the sky part like the Red Sea
The world is nervous
I saw the sun cry and bleed
The world is getting nervous
I saw my best friend become my enemy
Ooh, I'm nervous
Everything ain't what it's supposed to be
You should be nervous
Even here among so many I stand alone
In search of a link between my actions and the way one thinks
Some essence of a connection in a world divided
I'm antithetical to rhetoric, federal propaganda
That sends babies to war and tells them, "Fight for the hell of it"
They keep insulting my intelligence
Like everyone outside of politics is some nitwit
We'll clash as long as phases of the moon are cyclic
I've seen you entertain your hedonism, breeding your elitism
You told me what I needed on a short list with freedom missing
I've been advised to play by the rules
That's if I ever want to see the light of day in the future
They'd rather see me soft-shoe shuffling and performing
You tell my brother I love him, I'll be home by morning
You tell my mothers I'm fine and I'm ever theirs dearer
I'm stronger, more determined, and I've never thought clearer
Lock my body, can't trap my mind
Easily explains how I surpass the time
How much confusion have oppressors produced this year?
The blind know not the difference between truth and fear
As with all things, one day I'll be gone from here
But not before I tell the world that John was here
Not before I tell the world, before I tell the world
Not before I tell the world that John was here
I saw the sky part like the Red Sea
The world is nervous
I saw the sun cry and bleed
The world is getting nervous
I saw my best friend become my enemy
Ooh, I'm nervous
Everything ain't what it's supposed to be
You should be nervous
I lost it all, God, just to earn it again
I saw the doors and had to learn to come in
Despite these dudes' intents to ride
On my strength and hide what I lent
I can't forget the fact that devils just divided my men
And rather unlikely to the psyche
The worst devil is the one that looks just like me
Carry on
How much confusion have oppressors produced this year?
The blind know not the difference between truth and fear
As with all things, one day I'll be gone from here
But not before I tell the world that John was here
That John was here
Not before I tell the world that John was here
I saw the sky part like the Red Sea
The world is nervous
I saw the sun cry and bleed
The world is getting nervous
I saw my best friend become my enemy
Ooh, I'm nervous
Everything ain't what it's supposed to be
You should be nervous
