[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I sit back and reminisce
So many other songs
That use the same premise
In my story I'm the lead
I'm the protagonist
The second act almost killed me
Then I learned to resist
The temptation
Making a confidant a Satan
Someone who looks like a mirror
To the image I was made in
Someone who brought the light
To the dark I was raised in
'Till my motherf*cking heads spins
Rock Against Reagan
But until your heart stops
Or your chest done caves in
The whole game changed
Our heroes grew complacent
No more hot sh*t
Just that wack sh*t
I stay dropping fire
These MCs can't match it
A little wet behind their ears
Little greenhorn rookie
You thinking that I'm pus*y
You must've misunderstood me
Never wanted to fit in
I was proud to be an outlier
Question if your sh*t is hot
Call you Mrs. Doubtfire
[Chorus]
At one time, I was the seer of no things
Just a blind man with a puzzle piece
Knocked down to my knees and cursed beyond belief
Because I believed you
When you said that there was gold in these streets (Uh-huh)
At one time, I was the seer of no things
Just a blind man with a puzzle piece
Carving out the last bit of it inside of him
'Cause if there's no peace for me in heaven
I'm at one with the beast (Uh-huh)
[Verse 2]
See there's an algorithm to the founders
Given that any mercy in this heart
Is nothing compared to the malice in 'em
So my anthem remains
Manson and Rage
To gauge in full blood sport
Retort in more than one way
I am godless
I'm on a conquest
The concept is onset
The second coming of Christ is nonsense
See, I was never a very religious person
But I persecute the sermon
I punish these little vermin
And worming beneath the earth
And my search for something certain
But please pay no attention
To the man behind the curtain
There was justice in the rubble
Destroyed, rebuilt
There was no art inside the struggle
Therefore the water was stilled
The blood in the well
Bludgeon the will
They bludgeon and kill
Bloody hell
You know bloody well they bloody will
Although I must have been asleep in the past
I finally pried my eyes open
I'm awake at long last, like
[Chorus]
At one time, I was the seer of no things
Just a blind man with a puzzle piece
Knocked down to my knees and cursed beyond belief
Because I believed you
When you said that there was gold in these streets (Uh-huh)
At one time, I was the seer of no things
Just a blind man with a puzzle piece
Carving out the last bit of it inside of him
'Cause if there's no peace for me in heaven
I'm at one with the beast (Uh-huh)
[Verse 3]
The vessel has awaken
Uh - I mean awoken
The fear and trepidation spoken
The only words to describe me
How can I put it nicely?
sh*t, God doesn't like me
Roll around with a fragile and damaged psyche
Despite my best efforts to try and treat people politely
Despite me, forgiveness?
Highly unlikely
I'm a night breed
Allergic to any and all bright light beams
See it's unfortunate
The most prominent honor it
Deny the essence of good
Find its heart and slaughter it
I see no leaders, only judgement
Follow them or burn as the Convenent
I'm on fire and I love it
[Chorus]
At one time, I was the seer of no things
Just a blind man with a puzzle piece
Knocked down to my knees and cursed beyond belief
Because I believed you
When you said that there was gold in these streets (Uh-huh)
At one time, I was the seer of no things
Just a blind man with a puzzle piece
Carving out the last bit of it inside of him
'Cause if there's no peace for me in heaven
I'm at one with the beast (Uh-huh)
