Yet You Still Stay The Same

from Ra's al Ghul by Frank John James

lyrics

(Verse 1)
I'm gettin' tired of sayin' it's good enough
When it's used as an excuse to never give a fuck
What's a half effort? but a quarter of an outcome
An eighth of satisfaction but you're fully outdone
Quit negotiating, every right you deserve
You either like the work or probly got a tight nerve
Every next move is a choice to be made
And we're all responsible for improvement in everydat=y
Ya say ya want change but won't change yourself
Ya self-inflict pain and only save your wealth
Save yourself why do you expect a superhero
When it's you and only you who can reverse the way you feel
The way I feel is frustrated
Hundreds of years of waitin' but now I must say it
Yous said you would but never did, whatever shit
I speak in the interest of livin' forever kid

(Chorus x2)
And you say you want all the right things
And you say you want things to change
And you say you want no more fighting
And yet you still stay the same

(Verse 2)
You probly don't see the connection between your choices
And think a certain level of discipline's really pointless
You won't shop here so instead you shop there
But the same guy wins meanwhile, you're unaware
It's a false sense of choice in our power
We can shoose not to and detonate their tower
Without explosives or any violent means
We can rely on our homegrown beans
Fruits and veggies, we can all eat plenty
While they realized the power they had was from the many
And through the fear and makin' us incompatible
And chemicals that make us all a little more commandable
It seemed real the hope I once held
But seldom seemed approachable thus my hopes fell
And I know there's a few out there who want the same thing
It's just too bad we don't play for the same team

(Chorus x2)

(Sample)
"If you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, and if they can't stop you, then you become something else entirely."

"Which is?"

"Legend Mr. Wayne."
