lyrics

Rome is burnin’, rome is burnin’,
Homes ain’t sellin’, loans ain’t workin’,
Groans all we hearin’, phones turned off,
Life ain’t soft and America is lost,

Put the chrome to your dome, end it all,
That’s where we at, just need to make the call,
It’s all up and down, topsy-turny, curvy-whirly,
Seems like we all in a hurry to get nearly a penny,

Ayeee, it’s always been this way, (that’s what they say)
Peasants screamin’ for their cake,
But they didn’t take it when Marie told you claim it,
I blame cowardice, but I ain’t about that, got that malice,

Sippin’ out my chalice on my throne in my palace,
Got an atlas mapped out of my conquests I’m ‘bout to act on,
Faster than a tachyon, I can take on anyone,
Lyrics out the seventh circle but flow like I’m Adam’s son,

Godly blood, off key buzz,
Rome is burnin’, NYC got attacked,
Rome is burnin’, LA turned to a buzzards nest,
But what if Rome is fireproof and all this hoopla is spoof,

Poof, it’s gone, society ‘rounded another corner,
Phew, glad we made it, now back to causin’ havoc,
Mavericks move the millions for the billionaires
Who sit and stare and got plots to run the who, what, why, when and where,

Their air is eclectic, but mines more effective,
Move with the people, don’t guide with your ego,
Unless you wanna end up six feet below, (woah!)
I’m just questioning if this all cycles and is set up by suits in back rooms,

Who’d rather loot in a monsoon than help their fellow platoons,
I mean we’re all in the same boat, most just don’t realize until their last moons,
Soon we’re gonna face trials that’ll all but consume
So I keep my head above the water, dodging all the doom,

Marooned on an island, thinkin’ maybe I’m the only one thinkin’ this way,
Or is society gonna continue regardless of my paranoid state?
I hope and I pray, but I don’t know today,
Cause rome is burnin’ and I don’t know if it’ll all end safe,

Godly blood, off key buzz,
Rome is burnin’, NYC got attacked,
Rome is burnin’, LA turned to a buzzards nest,
But what if Rome is fireproof and all this hoopla is spoof,

Poof, it’s gone, society ‘rounded another corner,
Phew, glad we made it, now back to causin’ havoc,
Mavericks move the millions for the billionaires
Who sit and stare and got plots to run the who, what, why, when and where,

Systems are meant to be just that, never endin’ just cycle back
So why we so scared, why we darin’ to change if it can’t crack?
If it can, then what fuck we doin’ man?
Letting emotions bubble over cause our culture got fissures? (Just fix it!)

Leaving behind broken factories and troubled youth,
Why’s the land of the free got the most prisoners? (that’s truth)
Why’s the american dream dimming and upward mobility impossible?
I feel like we’re driving on unkept road, swervin tossin’ bottles,

Urgin’ all my peers to lift off the throttle,
Take a break and meditate, (we all need to stop once and awhile)
Why the fuck we all in denial?
Why the fuck do we all plaster on fake smiles?

Rome is burnin’, rome is burnin’,
But what if Rome is fireproof and all this hoopla is spoof,
x2
