Analysis of THE TIME IS NOW!



Looking back at my childhood I was blinded by my innocence.
Compassion, integrity, many spirits and differences
Propaganda, reality, knowledge's so infinite
Riches, power struggles, peoples souls get bent in it
In the end is emptiness and only loneliness can fit in it
Its only you and no one else, where is the victory in that
You are white and I am BLACK, I have strength where you lack
I'm from the beginning of your acts, I rule the confusion of your facts
Use to be on the other end of your smacks, now look how low you have fallen
Not even appetizing enough to be a snack, your nature is still the rat
Sneaking in to peoples country with your patriots hat
With the knife behind your back, ready to take the 9 lives from a cat
But you forget where you at, let us navigate for you once more and take the slack
The creator is still a fact, the creator's laws is still intact
