Still Untitled - A WIP From The Upcoming Album Tentatively Titled S.A.L.A.G.I.A. by i220 & Speak Lexia
The curse goes back thousands of years.
The emperor of hell -- advocate of fear,
Can bear witness to the unholy burden.
I hate to recount who foreclosed on the garden.
I don't know if I should. Why? Of course I should.
It's for our own good -- to be understood.
Kings and Queens remember obscenities,
But we were the ones who delivered amenities.
Mine was what turned on and off starving.
I can't possibly speak of responsibility unnerving.
I don't know if I should. Why? Of course I should.
It's for our own good -- to be understood.
Ceasars wasted what Czars tasted.
Vikings and Pirates weren't the only ones lambasted.
We turned off the tap of our own self-control.
I've learned it's not wise to strip down the soul.
I don't know if I should. Why? Of course I should.
It's for our own good -- to be understood.
Presidents/Vice Presidents/Ministers of Prime.
Time after time, we've accepted their dime.
But, it's our 100. I'm the centurion.
The dominion may feel recourse due to the opinion.
I don't know if I should. Why? Of course I should.
It's for our own good -- to be understood.
C.E.O.s, M.O.s, bosses and division leaders --
Come gather under me. My mission: bottom feeders.
We'll slaughter the pig and rig the machine.
It's time to clean. What I mean -- the obscene.
I don't know if I should. Why? Of course I should.
It's for our own good -- to be understood.
You. Me. We're different animals.
The connection's abysmal -- outlook dismal.
And while the sun shines orange light on us all,
It's up to the fallen to answer the call.
I don't know if I should. Why? Of course I should.
It's for our own good -- to be understood.
Not sure if I should. But, damn it'd be good.
I could and I would. Am I understood?
I guess that I should. Better than good.
I will and I am to be understood.
I know that I'm good. And good is good.
I am the one. Understood?
