lyrics

Verse 1a: Cas Metah
We swimming in a sea of creatures with deceitful leaders
where a peaceful protest will lead to beating
Streets are evil so I keep a lethal
dose of knowledge locked up top cerebrum
Not a genius but probably between the savant and B-List
aye, you see this?
I'm just looking out for fellow human beings
they just looking out for yellow and blue, you know, the green kid

Verse 1b: D1
Follow the money and you may find
the evil from which it grows, that they climb
Power corrupts even the best of men
but if you come for my next of kin? That's fam
So I'm rounding the troops to go to war, y'all
Picturing nothing but a can of soup like Warhol
I can't afford all the lies they sellin' me
I'm drowning in debt from the BS you peddling

Hook 1: D1
I tread through lies, they're so deceitful, yeah
I'm trying to look out for my people, yeah
I wanna live but life's so lethal, yeah
I'm swimmin' through venom for wisdom, I need you now

Verse 2a: Cas Metah
Venom is mixing in the adrenaline
count 'til the villagers are pillaging the premises
Feels like it's fin to get a little bit militant
if we don't get this under control, get under riot gear
Not here to fight lives, here to fight fear
fight lies trying to steer children clear of wisdom dear
God if the end is near suspend the tears just give me your grip sincere

Verse 2b: D1
Yeah, they poison our wells and tell you "drink from it"
But I'm wondering how much more can we stomach?
We plummet from each summit we reach
But if we summoned a breach from it, then we could teach
each other to seek wisdom
Instead of seeking these truths through a deep prism
which impedes vision, listen...
Y'all ain't longin' for tidbits
'cause small ponds got everyone feeling like big fish

Hook 2: D1
I tread through lies, they're so deceitful, yeah
I'm trying to look out for my people, yeah
I wanna live but life's so lethal, yeah
I'm swimmin' through venom for wisdom, I need you now

Outro: D1
Snakes in the grass
Flash their fangs as you pass
Snakes in the grass
And they aiming for your ass
