Keep it calm, keep it cool, keep it moving, keep on doing what you’re doing cause we’re doing it bold, evolution, agitate the institution we’ll be waking up and shaking up some pillars of old
In an era of performative cruelty, I’m gonna revel in some righteous delinquency, peel the curtain back exposing the mass decay, gonna burn it to the ground with a hip hooray, ya!
Obligation, what’s your role and occupation? Now the albatross we’re casting off is feathered with lies, apparatus that maintains your menial status now we’re hacking at the anchor rope to which you are tied
Giants, clients, unseen tyrants, bleed you to the bone and send you back to the start, press you, stress you, and assess you, to servile means but hope is teeming deep in your heart
Can’t reduce you to a futile commodity, you’re a proper child regardless of property, hand in hand with in-submissive camaraderie, insulated to preserve your autonomy, ya!
It was an outlaw feeling, stealing back the deck and dealing the cards, with heavy heart is was an outlaw feeling, reeling in the thrill of validating the star that you are
Abound with empty promise, serve the corporate gentry, lawless creatures making laws to further stretch the divide, navigation, sea of deep misinformation, lurkers creeping up to sweep you up and under the tide
Chaos agents, haters, traitors, sordid alligators in a swamp of deceit, slight you, fight you, and gaslight you, intimidate with no foundation under their feet
Just a cog in a collective insurgency, insubordinate unlawful assembly, and alliance of defiant integrity, I’m tryna’ keep the soul suckers away from me, ya!
It was an outlaw feeling, taking back the reins and calling the shots, with heavy heart it was an outlaw feeling, ripping up the red tape and negating the bot that your not
It was an outlaw feeling, stealing back the deck and dealing the cards, with heavy heart it was an outlaw feeling, yea!
