lyrics

(Chorus) x 4
Try to be a pen, don't wanna be a sword
Try to be a pen sometimes I wanna be a sword

(Verse 1)
Lost legends in the scripture thrown out the picture
Wrote it to remove it like a pincher
It's like a puzzle with half the pieces missin'
A fraction of the brain in action remain trippin', stumblin'
Runnin' outta reasons to accomplish it
Runnin' outta prayers to be prayed to the god of it
I gotta get my thoughts straight I coulda sworn
I had a reason I was here and yet somehow I got strayed
I hear the cries, it's unacceptable
I feel for them don't believe it's unavengeable
It's unrespectable mothafuck election day
As far as I'm concerned, forgiveness died yesterday
Had to rise up out my meditation
Not enough time gotta focus on retaliation
Had to put the book down the gat up
Enlightenment can wait, for today I finally had 'nuff

(Chorus) x 4

(Verse 2)
I wrote the truth on a paper intercepted
By the wrong hands, promptly did they rip it
Had the urge to impale him in permanence
Don't ever fuck my message up my meaning grows the worse it gets
I see the slavery of now compared to yesterday
I wish it was as obvious to us all it'd be a better way
On top of that we lost the writings once intended for us
Generations now conditioned to believe it bore us
So fuck the ink I guarantee it isn't what I need
I need the blade to make 'em bleed to end they heart beat
Revert to primitive mindstate, for my sake
The universe can balance it all, but why wait?
It's not the writings for the mind is where it all reside
It's not the anger for the right won't hold it all inside
Steppin' back to see the picture as a whole
The sword is a physical tool, pen, interdimensional

(Chorus) x 4
