foster the prankster – the great american novel كلمات اغاني

[verse]

this might be my/great american novel/
i’m comin back in my prime/the kerouac of my time
still tying up a few loose ends/i thought were true blue friends/
‘til i flew over the cuckoo’s nest/
don’t deny, y’all pretended/like i lost my mind/
got you lookin’ like you/dot your t’s and cross your i’s/
now it’s undisputed/before it was just confusion/
the truth is up for review/and you claim i jump to conclusions?/
wait for proof of the danger/i’d rather see it sooner than later/
i’m used to strangers/misunderstanding what’s human nature/
all i know is i’ve had it/with being gaslit/
by the average folks/who couldn’t fathom the half of it/
surrounded by people/used to respecting orders/
i’m from a hood that/taught me check my corners/
‘fore you get extorted/so don’t expect decorum/
i’ll tell you how it is/right on the spot/
whether you gon’ like it or not/
can’t empathize with/impressionable minds/
we don’t conceptualize/time the same/
i done lived too many lives/
plenty wise with the/cards i was dealt/
o.g’s said he rhyme/like he got knowledge of self/
never bought into college/still a modern david foster wallace/
pennin’ works provocative/like kurt vonnegut/
i had no other options/i turned documents to/
hunter thompson/journals i must’ve jotted/
i’ve come full circle/to cover topics/
removed from the utter gossip/
reality got your stomach knotted/
wait until they run your pockets/now who gonna stop it?/
in the land of the weak/home of the slaves/
y’all dance to the beat but/never know what to say/
the hidden hand of the beast/the devil showing his face/
we had a chance to be free/now we ‘bout to throw it away/
those are the stakes/nothing’s what you thought it was/
never trust a prankster/
you either on the bus or you off the bus/
[bridge _ sakari]
where does the story end?/
everything we left unsaid/
songs stay stuck in my head/
rewind, we right back to/
where we begin/

thought i heard your/voice in the wind/
thought i might/see you again/
before the words slip away/
let’s turn the other page/

[verse]

i set fire to the blueprint/
consumed in this/empire of illusion/
a reminder why i do this/
writin’ my m_n_script/
while i’m dreamin’/penning my thesis/
they tend to question my reasons/
have yet to mention my g_nius/
leave it to the prestigious who/
complete degrees in academia/
or at least the ones/repeatin’ ‘em in media/
institutions designed to/manage perception/
and damage your reputation/if ever you stand against it/
manufactured consent is/the standard path of events/
reality is whatever the/camera capture on lens/
shadows on the wall of/the cave, in allegory/
i’m standing on the shoulders of/great thinkers before me/
don’t place me in categories/with rappers, they rhyme sloppily/
honestly, i should be a/phd in hood psychology /
see i lived it so i can/express it clearly/
they read it in universities/never testing the theory/
tellin’ you how to float when they/never been off the boat/
how can you change a/system that benefitted you most?/
and so the beat goes on/who am i to complain?/
left my mark on the music/won’t lose my mind to the game/
every verse is a page and/every song is a chapter/
put my book on the shelf/maybe when i’m gone it’ll matter/
like salinger, this my/catcher in the rye/
i’m holden caulfield/guess i never been surprised/
might say i’m cynical but my/sk!lls of observation are critical/
remaining _n_lytical/of the blatant subliminals/
if you seein’ it too, then/i’m speaking to you/
shine a beacon of truth/they don’t see in the news/
or teach in the schools/where they treat us as fools/
knowledge is an ocean/some never deepen the pool/
if i told the whole story/you probably wouldn’t believe it/
i’d write it in a book/but you’d probably never read it/
