Modern Life
C
This modern life, is killing me, this fucking grind, is not what I believe in, I’m sick of payin dues to these fools for no reason, I’m questioning everything, especially authority, who made you god?, I never gave you permission, to take over my life, I want my freedom, and I’m takin it, I’m takin it, I’m takin it, like it or not
V1
I’m back on my grizzly bear, A Jonez it’s unfair, never been a mufucka so damn rare, I’m floatin in the atmosphere, way out there, you can’t even touch me, I’m hammer on you player, your style’s dusty, you make old records, but I ain’t neva scared, neva scared, bone crusha, I’d die for the cause like Che Gueverra, I’m undefeated man like Floyd Mayweather, it may get better, it may get worse, but I ain’t gonna sit around waitin for a savior, I ain’t tryna save her, or the earth, I’m tryna savor every second and serve those who deserve it, sick of doin shit that I don’t think is worth it, all they do is serve their own interests, and all we get is the short end of the stick, and the long end of this dick, I’m about to fire it up, and get the place lit
C
This modern life, is killing me, this fucking grind, is not what I believe in, I’m sick of payin dues to these fools for no reason, I’m questioning everything, especially authority,
Who made you god?, I never gave you permission, to take over my life, I want my freedom...x2
and I’m takin it, I’m takin it, I’m takin it, like it or not...x2
V2
They say I gotta make that, make that, make that money, but makin money don’t really do nothin fa me, makin music make me feel so damn lovely, why can’t I just be what I wanna be, this modern life is slavery, in a different shape, in a different form, the same damn thang since the days of kings and lords, they dumb down the people, make good look evil, and evil look good, they’re so Hollywood, it’s a game, an image, you’re trained for consumption, mamed early on, they take what they want and then they’re gone, but I’m chasin em down, makin em pay for what they done
C2
Why can’t we, live in harmony with nature?, why is that idea, not very popular?, when the oil runs out you gon’ wish that you was more prepared, I stay underground, cause most people are unaware, who made you god,? I never gave you permission, to take over my life, I want my freedom
