Emerging

i've noticed everytime i go out of state 

today, there is no escaping a toll

why are we so casually docile

when it comes to our freedom being stole

we systematically give some stranger 

our money just to ride on the road

when did that happen

i suppose long before we lost

actual lyrics in commercial rappin'

we use to be such advance beings

cracking puzzles and breaking the DaVinci code

writing hieroglyphs and manuscripts

like the Dead Sea scrolls

presently under this suffocating ceiling of control

what happened to forming an alliance

coming together like our forefathers 

exchanging and sharing thoughts of high science

exemplifying magnificence and reliance

politicking under the sun and moon

grasping why the moth emerges out of the cocoon
