HYDRA Smoking, thinking Reminiscing, wishing time would move back To them days when everything was simple Like the past, when I was a youngin' They told me life would be strange Now I'm old with bills to pay I guess I'd say that's finally hittin' Welcome to the new world, mane What once was fine is gone, it happened quick They turned a dollar's worth into a dime It never made no sense Cost to live went up, ya did us wrong I blame the rich and every last politician I need you gone I hate your wicked, evil ways Off in your shifty groups You ramble on and preach your hell The sheep watches in awe And tries to pray until it's lost its breath For heaven’s sake and one more payment I ain't claiming that I'm perfect, just get one thing straight I came in early, so I'm smoking, thinking Reminiscing, wishing time would move back To them days when everything was simple But I know it won't change That's just what happens when you're drifting Through the void as a ghost Expect it's all gon' end the same This life is like The Truman Show, a cruel charade A bumpy ride, it's tough to cut the deal It's all a crooked game Off in the light, they got you stuck in a cell Deep underground with no fix So you might as well just do or die Gon' busta, take your pick and grab the nine Or be a mane, just watch the line When breakin' laws 'cause Sam, he loves to kill A suicidal choice to take a fall It only leaves you damned I told you, dawg, it could be worse But if you choose to keep on ballin' Just prepare to get burned You should've listened to the trio When they told you through the rhymes The message spoke the real 'Cause even in your dreams and in your nightmares The unholy dwells And when you wake The simulation's bound to shake your nerves So take it slow and get a grip, mane And make it worth it
