Ill System - King for a Day

I keep it cool when I'm knee-deep in fools
There are some battles that you just shouldn't choose
Everyday's a struggle for the truth win or lose
I am like a lion, you're the food

Heed the warning or silence the lambs
You are just a boy, I am a man
Wise enough to hit your brain with the facts
Wise enough to know when not to react

When I am old, I'll remember what my father told me
You could be a king for a day or a fool for eternity
I keep it stored in my thoughts like a reservoir
I don't waste my breath, I don't care 'bout your repertoire

I hear the sound of your brain spin round
As quiet as a mouse six feet underground
Empty as a vessel, like ship run aground
Silence is the savior I have found

Heed the warning or silence the lambs
You are just a boy, I am a man
Wise enough to hit your brain with the facts
Wise enough to know when not to react

When I am old, I'll remember what my father told me
You could be a king for a day or a fool for eternity
I keep it stored in my thoughts like a reservoir
I don't waste my breath, I don't care 'bout your repertoire
