Times

Every one is chasing an idea
An idea that has been advertised to them
Teachers preaching instead of teaching 
The on going mystery of education 
Will power and determination 
Is all we need to face the system 
A journey, just a path you have to walk and experience 
Life's course done at home
Since my mind trapped inside the dome
Dreams are just dreams if you don't make them a reality, 
but honestly what is reality 
And your personality, just an avatar 
Times are times and different concepts are brought to mind
There were kings and gods
Now these presidents and governments 
There were knights and warriors 
Now there are gangs and soldiers
There were slaves now people get paid to be workers 
There were poets now the are rappers,
Its all concepts,
Same thing just time changes, 
Or what we believe in
But it gets more complicated 
As different eras and that's a new chapter for a master idea, man evil 
Is what the animals be whispering 
They don't know we are as afraid of them as they are of us
TV portrays another dimension 
Of fear, we all need each other
Divide and conquer, 
that's the problem, 
Black and white,
Boy and girl,
Human and animal, 
never mind that, we should unite and conquer 
The supreme power won't know what hit them, 
Yeah I'm a rebel so they say I work for the devil, 
cutting my voice down 
Only shadows hear me 
Locked in a cell within my mind
So I can never see the light
The exit, the way out.
