Blank Faces

Blank faces all around People posed smiles before but it’s no more around Everything I hear are just wicked laughs Sinister laughs when brothers stabbing one another in the back And sisters run around till they get laid on their backs We say it’s cool, is that how we started from the scratch? Land of the living? It’s more walking dead all around Reverse is the mind and we all follow so We don’t know who to blame and we all follow slow We’re all in the field but we're not racing flow It's now more about the money than the lives of our folks We loved one another but it all turned cold Jewish priests and parishes teach us not to take laws in our hands The synagogue is dead and looters are worshipped in all our shrines But what we gon do when the law be the one driving us mad Thought it should be the one leading us in places where we should stand Many gone too soon caused by the leading mad Only if we get up and start to lead the charge No one wanna die, no one wanna sacrifice This ain’t no rhyme, this is breaking off the line They say we're running out of time but nowadays time developed wings and started to fly And numbers do not lie? Is that a six or a nine? That’s how we’re looking, that’s how myopic our lives lies I’m just hoping one day we'll all learn what it means to stand the test of time
