[Intro] [Verse 1] I sit back and reminisce So many other songs That use the same premise In my story I'm the lead I'm the protagonist The second act almost killed me Then I learned to resist The temptation Making a confidant a Satan Someone who looks like a mirror To the image I was made in Someone who brought the light To the dark I was raised in 'Till my motherf*cking heads spins Rock Against Reagan But until your heart stops Or your chest done caves in The whole game changed Our heroes grew complacent No more hot shit Just that wack shit I stay dropping fire These MCs can't match it A little wet behind their ears Little greenhorn rookie You thinking that I'm p*ssy You must've misunderstood me Never wanted to fit in I was proud to be an outlier Question if your shit is hot Call you Mrs. Doubtfire [Chorus] At one time, I was the seer of no things Just a blind man with a puzzle piece Knocked down to my knees and cursed beyond belief Because I believed you When you said that there was gold in these streets (Uh-huh) At one time, I was the seer of no things Just a blind man with a puzzle piece Carving out the last bit of it inside of him 'Cause if there's no peace for me in heaven I'm at one with the beast (Uh-huh) [Verse 2] See there's an algorithm to the founders Given that any mercy in this heart Is nothing compared to the malice in 'em So my anthem remains Manson and Rage To gauge in full blood sport Retort in more than one way I am godless I'm on a conquest The concept is onset The second coming of Christ is nonsense See, I was never a very religious person But I persecute the sermon I punish these little vermin And worming beneath the earth And my search for something certain But please pay no attention To the man behind the curtain There was justice in the rubble Destroyed, rebuilt There was no art inside the struggle Therefore the water was stilled The blood in the well Bludgeon the will They bludgeon and kill Bloody hell You know bloody well they bloody will Although I must have been asleep in the past I finally pried my eyes open I'm awake at long last, like [Chorus] At one time, I was the seer of no things Just a blind man with a puzzle piece Knocked down to my knees and cursed beyond belief Because I believed you When you said that there was gold in these streets (Uh-huh) At one time, I was the seer of no things Just a blind man with a puzzle piece Carving out the last bit of it inside of him 'Cause if there's no peace for me in heaven I'm at one with the beast (Uh-huh) [Verse 3] The vessel has awaken Uh - I mean awoken The fear and trepidation spoken The only words to describe me How can I put it nicely? Shit, God doesn't like me Roll around with a fragile and damaged psyche Despite my best efforts to try and treat people politely Despite me, forgiveness? Highly unlikely I'm a night breed Allergic to any and all bright light beams See it's unfortunate The most prominent honor it Deny the essence of good Find its heart and slaughter it I see no leaders, only judgement Follow them or burn as the Convenent I'm on fire and I love it [Chorus] At one time, I was the seer of no things Just a blind man with a puzzle piece Knocked down to my knees and cursed beyond belief Because I believed you When you said that there was gold in these streets (Uh-huh) At one time, I was the seer of no things Just a blind man with a puzzle piece Carving out the last bit of it inside of him 'Cause if there's no peace for me in heaven I'm at one with the beast (Uh-huh) [Outro]
