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
