about

We are all a victim of our own humanity. We are the cause and solution to all of life's problem. We fight on social media, and destroy each other for the sake of survival. This song is dedicated to the awareness of the challenges of being human.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every generation...talks about their generation with rose colored glasses
But actually the way masses act feel so redacted to avoid certain facts that obscure acts that may have happened in the past.
I see it all the time don’t know if I should cry or laugh.
But if I stop to reply
That’s like wasting time and a half.
...Too much hatred weighing harder on my patience
Wishing one day I can change the rules of engagement.
But until that day comes
I must avoid you like the plague
If not, the negative
is too quick to invade.
Wish there was a better way
But when you open yourself up too much
It’s too easy for someone
to leave you in disarray
I keep my circle smaller
because really at this age
I’ve learned who has my corner
And who keeps up with my pace
As for everybody else
There’s only so much I can take
if I dare try to engage
already know it’s a mistake.

[HOOK]
Our Mission
To live in harmony
Is undercut but our ambition
[The victim of the human condition]
You want success
At someone else’s expense?
Will it change up your decision?
[The victim of the human condition]
Are you truly alive
Or do you justify
your suffering through existence
[The victim of the human condition]
The truth is in the foundation
Pay attention
Listen to the definition
[The victim of the human condition]

If I say something in error it’s
Pretty much imperative
To find a way to flip my words
To twist and fit your narrative.
Sometimes you want to fight it
Not to live with this embarrassment
They banter and they bicker
As to challenge your intelligence
It all stems from arrogance
Ego is the evil that consumes us
Divides us all and causes
All disparagement
I don’t need the negativ...ity
I have my own demons
And energy and attitude
Really is not helping it.
Don’t comment, don’t post,
Don’t troll, lose your soul
Ain’t nothing new to bitch about
It’s really getting old.
Even complaining about it now
Seems a bit hypocritical
But still have explain
Why I’m tired of it all!
Everyone’s a naysayer.
You use to give us layers
Shoot the schools and legislators
Now just give us thoughts and prayers
.....
All you wanna do is shout a bit
...Post share criticize
Just please leave me out of it!

[HOOK]
Our Mission

Or do you justify

[The victim of the human condition]

Listen to the definition
[The victim of the human condition]

I am love. I am life. I am death. I am everything have when you have nothing left.
I’m anxiety. I’m rage. I’m compassion.
I am sympathy and understanding.
I am positive and negative reactions.
I am the cause of the grand illusion.
I’m limitless creative range...
I’m cause of climate change...
But all I want’s the finer things...
I think I’m above the law...
I’m an angel. I’m the devil. I am GOD.
I am everything below
and I am all of the above.
I am the problem and solution
The shackler of chains
and the cause of revolution
The loss and gains
I am the healer hear to help
and the cause of all the pain.
....I am greed. I am corrupt.
But I do it all for love.
I am the holder truth and creator of fiction
I am loudest in the room
I am the last one to listen
I am a walking contradiction
the victim of the human condition
