Not everybody sane up in my room Won't ever be the same when it's over If I keep praying, will you hear me? Talking loud, don't know what I'm saying, but they with me Harder now, feel just like I'm breaking, what does it mean? All around, everybody flailing, but they with me Tell us now what you saw Talk about everything I give it without saving I give away everything Like naked now shaking I'll take it, my gift you see I'll take it, but I'm saying It costs me more every day Oh, can everybody witness? What you see in my reflection? I got everybody with me What you see in my reflection? You wanna see how I see I know, not for me to take you there I don't come up when I need some air Dig down deep all just to lay it bare I go under then I slip Like my own shadow I know that they all want to see about me I know what they all want to see about I know that they all want to see about me Witness Well, no way No way No way Can you see when I slip? Is everybody going with? You want to see about me I know you want to be my witness I know you want to be my witness

It's the conformist Takin' the firm fist Of the idealist Taken the shitlist. And now, the purist stays the purist Till the shit hits the fan of the culprits And then the lawyer Will destroy a Motivation to become the purist And the terrorist Is really fed up with. Nothing strategic To beseige with And supremacists Touch the surface With their racist hatred. That glues eyelids. Those with politics All polite on tricks Cripple the masses on the road to riches. Underachievers United, Why fight it, Can't hide it.
