I quarantine from the madness
The lies and the sadness
Them riots they be savage
Yet they calling us the fascists
Mind over matter
Getting served up on a platter
Turn the lights on and they scatter
Playing roles like they be actors

I shout "help help help" I scream but they will never hear me
They just yelp yelp yelp before it's done they better fear me
It's a singular reason why I will resist all their acts
They got their sights set on my country, my family, those are the facts
I will not sit by and let them corrupt what I would defend
I'll take arms against the darkness and call ballistics my friend
Growing up blowing up showing up flowing up
Glowing up throwing up all that they spit at us
Agitate irritate go irate I will rate all the hate
Cultivate all that they throw at us
I'm low to em slow to em flow to em go to 'em go through em
Show to em wanna get rid of us
We won't break we won't brake we won't take they gon' shake
They be fake they won't wait just to be killing us
I'm taking a sword to my ego oh Lord
I will pass on the word and take passion my ward
And I will not want more and I will not be bored
I will make life my war until Heaven's my shore
And on that blessed day I will vanish away
And I'll join in the fray and take part in the way
And take pain all away and have joy if I may
And I'll stand in the rays and just stand there amazed
And before all this happens I will not be slacking
I'll never be lacking I'll never be backing
I'll always be rapping sick beats will be slapping
And all of the people who lose their way will be found
Through all these words as the way they are mapping

I quarantine from the madness
The lies and the sadness
Them riots they be savage
Yet they calling us the fascists
Mind over matter
Getting served up on a platter
Turn the lights on and they scatter
Playing roles like they be actors

Imma turn the speed down from the last verse
Yeah them lyrics spitting so hard but they aren't terse
I want y'all to understand something about my psyche
My lyrics can be controversial yeah they be high-key
But I ain't doing this to alienate the other crowds
Yeah I'm want em jamming to my tracks and blast the speakers loud
But I just can't help but write about what I am feeling
And what I'm feeling isn't always pretty it's the real thing
So if you do not like this sound then thumbs down on the platform
But that won't make me stop I will always get on and rap for em
Cuz I ain't doing this for money or the big stage
Although that would be dope I will not make that all of my rage
Success would be a great thing and I would never turn it down
But even if it never comes you'll never see me turn a frown
Because no matter what exposure comes from all this rap work
It never will be my priority to get the press for it
That's all that these rappers care about in what they working for
I'll just keep on working hard yeah that's what I am working towards
All of you think that your life is perfect there's no need for change
Well you're in for a rude awakening about to rearrange
I just need to detox from what I experience day to day
I pray every night that it will all just up and go away
But that ain't the case so must keep on grinding out a way
Quarantine myself from all the evil and just run away

I quarantine from the madness
The lies and the sadness
Them riots they be savage
Yet they calling us the fascists
Mind over matter
Getting served up on a platter
Turn the lights on and they scatter
Playing roles like they be actors

Yeah if I can change just a couple lives with all this rhythm flow
If I can kill just a couple lies though never make some dough
That'll be enough for me enough to keep me working hard
Working long on this lyrics quarantining from the dark
