you see me running but you don't know what
i'm running from
my own weakness
come on i've got to speak this truth
When I'm losin my direction
i run that self-inspection I learn my lessons well
Yo I fell hard you see me gettin up
i'm fucking up adversity
in a temporary state of clarity
Hmmm, life is a parody, paradox
enigma I shed that skin with the stigma
roll on to the next day
confusin all my critics with these topics
various versatile, universal satirical
analytical, personal, political
you cynical MC. s, you can. t see these ryhmes
comin' with reason, my eyes are open wide
the havenots keep hopin'
my words are spoken
the chosen will someday be broken
and see how their gods have all fallen
you don't understand why it's so damn easy
can't understand why it's so fuckin easy
So how you like it like it now
Yeah yeah right, whatever, whatever

They should make high schoolers study these fuckin lyrics!!! When I'm losin my direction i run that self-inspection I learn my lessons well Yo I fell hard you see me gettin up i'm fucking up adversity in a temporary state of clarity Hmmm, life is a parody, paradox enigma I shed that skin with the stigma roll on to the next day He's saying that we learn new things every day that make us do self-reflections and become new people and therefore change as humans. He's basically complaining in this song that people keep trying to tell him who to be and how to act when they have no more of an idea than he does about this world.
"If I get lost don't try to find me!!" "Your way one way, but not mine!" And the last lines are from an older punk song Punks jump up to get beat punks jump up to get beat down
actually GoAskAlice, that line is from a rap song of the same name, by a group called Brand Nubian. check them out, they're really good.
