Enough (Avery Watts)

Go into the mind of the everyday grind, of the blind in the darkness What do we find? It's a kind of confinement combined with pain, Aligned by mankind and set to drain Stuck in a 9 to 5 to stay alive, living in a dive to barely survive The whole time you try to get ahead, Just to get a little peace before you get dead 'Nuff said. Since your very birth, since your first breath on earth It seems that life has been preordained The order that it goes in? I'll explain: Welcome to the world, go to school, get a job, Get married, have a kid, be a dad, be a mom Move along Don't think, don't stop, don't dream Everything in the world is exactly how it seems Were told how to look, how to act, how to feel What's good, what's bad, what's fake, what's real And when times get tough and it's hard to deal Just pick your poison and the pain will heal Got the blues? There's plenty of booze to choose, Drugs to use, money to lose You don't need to educate yourself on the truth, That's already done On the evening news Born to lead, but we act like cattle Not anymore, get ready for the battle Sick of it all? Then get one fist up and Scream at the top of your lungs, hey... That's enough Throw those hands in the air Get 'em up Show we've had it up to here Put your seatbelt on, prepare for a collision, 'Cause those who see with the eyes of the blind, They lack vision Work, eat, sleep, wake, repeat 8 by 5 by countless weeks Coffee, copies, floppies, faxes Troubles, traffic, caskets, taxes FACT IS: Media sees, we find life's' answers in magazines But why even read? Everything that u need to believe is on a box we call the TV Don't think another thought Stop, erase, forget what you've been taught. You can cheat what you don't know - Let's break it on down: Here we go! Your Brain? BAKE IT Waist? FAKE IT Don't have money for it? JUST TAKE IT Your Hair? DYE IT Courage? BUY IT This will make it bigger over night, just try it Go into the world and make a name Or just do it online, in a video game You can stay inside until you scream And live your life in front of a screen It's sickening What have we become? You're better than all that, don't play dumb It's never too late to change all this stuff Don't be afraid, stand up, say... All this pissin', dissin', and bitchin' got me on a mission My ambition got you wishin' you weren't in the position To be the personal ignition of my lyrical rage I'm out the cage, blowing off the ever-lovin' chain Insane To put it plain mein: I'm Gone I'm the bane of all existence from this day on If you want more - that man I be I'll snatch your eyes out 'cha head before you get a chance to see Who me? That's right son, best believe it 'Cause unlike some when I say it – I MEAN IT I'm droppin' tricky tongue tracks when I put out the wax Now let's bring the hook back so everybody can relax
