When hopelessness surrounds me
I try to understand
what brought me to this misery
this place in no-man's-land
Say I won't stand aside no more
no lie, no scheme can keep me in their claws
my mind rewired, I am at war
I will defy and break their deceptive laws
You won't see me compromise
my principles or justify
their fallacies
whenever they try to bring me down
I never see me as victimized
conquered, beaten
I won't be broken
These are the days I gotta find my strength
and the kind of people who care to see
my portfolio
of all the things that I combine to liberate me
from this divine system that caught me
in a weak moment
When hopelessness surrounds me
I try to understand
what brought me to this misery
this place in no-man's-land
Say I wake up all weak, all sore
no fire, drive or passion,
no roar
my mind in chains effects are the cause
I'm gonna find a way to regain my force
Now, I've been around, alone and down
leavin' my footprint on the ground
chasing my dreams
my journey took me from place to town
I got to see, I got to found
memories
to treasure and hold
These are the days I gotta find my strength
and the kind of people who care to see
my portfolio
of all the things that I combine to liberate me
from this divine system that caught me
in a weak moment
See da mills of da Gods grind slowly
bring a dat Kafkaesque system down
putrified nation
drawin' dem purblind leaders to power
know, retribution for dem come
revived insurgency what dey spawn
weavin' lobotomize dem tweeters
prone to cause affliction
Ah, yuh ... yuh yuh
Think I would shake my head or naught
no pride, no guts, no second thoughts
sell out the values I gained abroad
the priceless ticket I sought
Don't - think you get a piece of my
venture, trials idolizing
daydreamin'
in your chair at home
you gotta get out your comfort zone
where you would be scared and all alone ...
that's where you find a piece of your own
These are the days I gotta find my strength
and the kind of people who care to see
my portfolio
of all the things that I combine to liberate me
from this divine system that caught me
in a weak moment
Yeah, these are the days I gotta find my strength
my portfolio
of all the things that I combine to liberate me
from this divine system that caught me
in a weak moment
