(Verse 1)
It’s like they sleepin’ on they dreams
And only waking up to screens
Fiends for green sheets by any means
With them dead faces that place ‘em into teams
While they racin’ in machines
In the skies, the streets, and overseas
Puffin dye into the breeze
Colorin’ the wind, it’s difficult to breathe
I don’t understand these beings
And how they trip over colors in they skin
Afraid to paint a picture where the colors all blend
Never realizin’ that they brothers in the end
And some got all the land
While some of ‘em are crammed in a van
10 deep with they fam I don’t understand
How the rich ones go to sleep like, man
(Chorus)
I rode in from the skies
Ridin’ in disguise
I learned about they lives
Learned about they tribes
It made me wanna cry
How so many of ‘em die
So I went up to this human
Said “If you wanna survive
Then you better go live, say
We better switch up right-” (Now!)
(Verse 2)
Now after some time with ‘em
I’m impressed at how blessed they are by rhythm
I’d trust their Artists way before I trust they politicians
Too focused on they speeches so they never listen
And the most got good intentions
But they caught up in they own reflections
It’s funny how they build so many prisons
Just showin’ what’s been going on within’ ‘em
And purest ones are the children
If I was them I’d let the kids be my motivation
They ain’t ask to be born into this chaos
Tell me how that makes sense? Man
They got the power if they want
Discovered music and be fusin good frequencies
Gotta switch from lettin’ fear be their biggest God/guide
Transition it to love that’s how it seems to me
(Chorus)
I rode in from the skies
Ridin’ in disguise
I learned about they lives
Learned about they tribes
It made me wanna cry
How so many of ‘em die
So I went up to this human
Said “If you wanna survive
Then you better go live, say
We better switch up right-” (Now!)

(Verse 1)
Dreams are nightmare’s pantomime
Is it wrong to wish for the time
When I still dreamt of merry things?
A diamond lives forever
(Verse 2)
Intwined in twinkling trance
Bonds untied to please circumstance
Would you please tell me how it felt?
Did it hurt to watch me melt?
(Chorus)
Sinking drifting tumbling down
all leads to a broken crown (yes).
Unraveling at your seams
See us, see them...
See you, see me...
See when?
