[00:07.46]For who's entertainment shall we sing of agony? In what hopes?
[00:10.74]That the destroyers aspiring to extinguish us will suddenly
[00:13.71]Suffer remorse at the sight of their own fantastic success?
[00:16.54]The last imbecile to dream that dream is dead

[01:49.80]Balling through the barren land
[01:51.30]Where niggas take a stand, like castles made of sand
[01:53.36]Free falling
[01:54.47]For anything
[01:55.42]Nothing but a plan to fail for they selves
[01:57.20]No sense of delf, needed daily affirmations of self help
