about

A commentary about the current state of affairs and my general anxiety about the future.

lyrics

The future feels so cryptic
The post-apocalyptic
We were too optimistic
Our great leaders so sadistic
It’s tweeted in our faces
War of classes, war of races
Lawsuits and these civil cases
Unsafe in our own workplaces
I cannot see the dawn
I can’t believe what’s going on
We’re trapped inside a Twilight Zone
Our sanity is almost gone
And all these psychos want to do
Is watch the world burn
As we let them lead us blindly
Past the point of no return

CHORUS (x2)
We will have not seen the end of the world
If we could see the future, will we see what is coming?
Will we see the horizon when the world burns around us?
If we could see the future, the future imperfect

They’re trying to keep us silent
They’re trying to keep us fighting
They want us split apart so none of us are left surviving
They’re trying to keep us busy
With meaningless distractions
So we can’t hold them all accountable for stupid actions

And when we criticize
They talk about rights and look in our eyes
And try to convince us that they all sympathize
But everything out of their mouths is a lie
It wasn’t your fault an innocent died?
It wasn’t you breeding the hatred inside?
It wasn’t you trying to cause a divide
Of racism, ignorance, malice and pride?

CHORUS(x2)

BRIDGE
If we could see the future, the future imperfect (X4)

CHORUS(x2)
If we could see the future, the future imperfect (x3)

Ryako recommends:

Raging Ego
by LEX the Lexicon Artist

It's fresh with a diverse sound. Lots of energy and emotion running through this. Yes, it's Nerdcore rap, but it's from a different perspective, that of a confident Asian woman in a geeky world. Ryako

Boomers V.2
by Shubzilla & Bill Beats

Shubzilla doesn't hold back and she delivers ferocity in spades. Bill Beats brings in some solid production and an interesting use of samples. Together, they are powerful and unapologetic. Ryako

Alter Ego

I didn't think it was possible to top "Raging Ego" because of how incredible it was but I was dead wrong. This record is flawless. Lex took sharp lyrics, phenomenal story telling and mind blowing beats and sharpened them into a fine and perfected blade of hip hop. Absolutely brilliant. Matt aka Stormageddon
