You feel that? 00:19
That's the sound of the kids 00:23
With no fucks to give 00:26
With no luck for shit because 00:29
They didn't grow up as rich 00:31
That's the sound 00:34
That's the sound 00:36
That's the sound of niggas locked up in the pen 00:39
Doing a bid with more time then they should give 00:42
That's the sound of an oppressed nation 00:46
Tired of chasing villains that don't got no faces 00:49
That's the sound of a nation that 00:52
Don't got no patience for faux proclamations 00:54
Warlocks in churches in sacred locations 00:57
The sheriff's a Klansman, the judge is a Mason 01:00
Not to be biased and not what your faith is 01:03
But how do I trust my own country 01:05
And state that's more loyal to 01:06
Satan than their own occupation? 01:08
The system is rigged, if I vote will I change it? 01:10
Greed with consumers with no moderation 01:13
Blame for a beast I'm not sure I created 01:16
I'm not sure I'm created, like 01:19
I'm inside a game I'm not sure that I'm playing 01:21
It's a whole operation 01:24
Whether it's real or whether they staged it 01:26
Shit get so tense when I go out to 01:28
Places if I fuck around and sneeze 01:30
In the air I can break it 01:32
And people feel so violated 01:37
You feel what I'm feeling before I can say it 01:38
Before I can step in the studio to lay it 01:41
I know what my role is I know I ain't basic 01:43
But I guess the truth must hurt 01:48
I guess that's why they butt hurt 01:49
All the secrets that I unearthed 01:51
No stone left unturned 01:53
To learn to fly you gotta jump first 01:57
I touched the sky that's why I'm sunburnt 02:00
I change a life in only one verse 02:03
Welcome to the seventh pinnacle 02:06
Somewhere between the 02:08
Metaphysical and hella spiritual 02:09
I seen hell and hell is digital as well as visual 02:11
Hell is how they did the Aboriginal 02:14
Hell is when the innocent get murdered 02:17
And they don't arrest the criminal 02:19
Oh my, oh my god, oh my god 02:21
Take the steering wheel 'fore 02:22
I do something that I ain't intend to do 02:23
No interviews! 02:26
Pacing in my living room! 02:27
B.o.B. what's gotten into you? 02:28
You wiling you advantage 02:30
Shit like you are invincible! 02:31
People always ask me 02:32
"Jeez why you still living dude?" 02:33
Shit I wonder why I'm living too! 02:37
Why I'm living too 02:40
Why I'm living too 02:42
Say whats wrong with me? 02:44
Shit whats wrong with you? 02:45
'Cause me I'm feeling good 02:47
Me, I'm in my zone I look up in the sky 02:49
And I know this can't be home 02:52
And I know I ain't alone 02:55
They try to take me home 02:57
They try to sway the weak 02:59
And they try to break the strong, huh 03:00
But I'm not a quitter 03:03
God's child not God's dinner 03:04
On God I'm Godzilla 03:06
Try to plot, I'll make the plot thicker, huh 03:08
See the middle class got a lot slimmer 03:11
And the upper class got a lot richer 03:15
They want a revolt, they want you to riot 03:18
They want you to try it 03:19
They wanna provoke us to keep us divided 03:20
But the people are no longer quite 03:23
They say Bob they gon' to take you out 03:26
If you keep rhyming this way! 03:27
Huh, I say fuck it we all going to die anyway 03:30

Lyrics & Translation

[English]
You feel that?
That's the sound of the kids
With no fucks to give
With no luck for shit because
They didn't grow up as rich
That's the sound
That's the sound
That's the sound of niggas locked up in the pen
Doing a bid with more time then they should give
That's the sound of an oppressed nation
Tired of chasing villains that don't got no faces
That's the sound of a nation that
Don't got no patience for faux proclamations
Warlocks in churches in sacred locations
The sheriff's a Klansman, the judge is a Mason
Not to be biased and not what your faith is
But how do I trust my own country
And state that's more loyal to
Satan than their own occupation?
The system is rigged, if I vote will I change it?
Greed with consumers with no moderation
Blame for a beast I'm not sure I created
I'm not sure I'm created, like
I'm inside a game I'm not sure that I'm playing
It's a whole operation
Whether it's real or whether they staged it
Shit get so tense when I go out to
Places if I fuck around and sneeze
In the air I can break it
And people feel so violated
You feel what I'm feeling before I can say it
Before I can step in the studio to lay it
I know what my role is I know I ain't basic
But I guess the truth must hurt
I guess that's why they butt hurt
All the secrets that I unearthed
No stone left unturned
To learn to fly you gotta jump first
I touched the sky that's why I'm sunburnt
I change a life in only one verse
Welcome to the seventh pinnacle
Somewhere between the
Metaphysical and hella spiritual
I seen hell and hell is digital as well as visual
Hell is how they did the Aboriginal
Hell is when the innocent get murdered
And they don't arrest the criminal
Oh my, oh my god, oh my god
Take the steering wheel 'fore
I do something that I ain't intend to do
No interviews!
Pacing in my living room!
B.o.B. what's gotten into you?
You wiling you advantage
Shit like you are invincible!
People always ask me
"Jeez why you still living dude?"
Shit I wonder why I'm living too!
Why I'm living too
Why I'm living too
Say whats wrong with me?
Shit whats wrong with you?
'Cause me I'm feeling good
Me, I'm in my zone I look up in the sky
And I know this can't be home
And I know I ain't alone
They try to take me home
They try to sway the weak
And they try to break the strong, huh
But I'm not a quitter
God's child not God's dinner
On God I'm Godzilla
Try to plot, I'll make the plot thicker, huh
See the middle class got a lot slimmer
And the upper class got a lot richer
They want a revolt, they want you to riot
They want you to try it
They wanna provoke us to keep us divided
But the people are no longer quite
They say Bob they gon' to take you out
If you keep rhyming this way!
Huh, I say fuck it we all going to die anyway
