6 Sense - The Marathon

They've got us plugged in, just living in this matrix
Nine to five routine, on a daily basis, stuck in stasis
Kids trying to be famous, instead of reading pages
Everybody rapper sound the same in your top one hundred playlist
Our brains became programmable, just slaves to the intangible
Just do what's fashionable, and everything we have is taxable
Unless you've got billions in capital, this shit is laughable
Life is invaluable, but yet they treat us as less than animals
Damn right, I'm radical, they pointing rifles at me
It's just survival and greed, ain't touched a Bible for weeks
Staring into these TVs, but your idols don't teach
Turn on that Sunday Night Football, and let the cycle repeat

It's a marathon, something very wrong
We keep going through the dark, lights barely on
This ain't the American dream, it's an Ameri-con
Probably set fire to that bible you swearing on
They want to turn the Proud Boys into paragons
Would George Floyd be alive if his hair was blonde
They just tell us carry on, yeah, carry on
It's a marathon
It's a marathon

Bigger things to figure out, than Marvel, fucking Mickey Mouse
Gotten so numb, we don't want stresses to think about
We live in doubt, went from Ricky Ross to fucking Rittenhouse
Free to murder while we get life, for trying to flip an ounce
It's a rat race, we can't get the facts straight
Working till your back breaks, but you still stuck in last place
People say they for the cause, then show up in some blackface
Can't trust them, if their name Bill, or fucking Matt Gaetz
They don't want to see us do well, since back in Tulsa
Keep that gun in the holster, want to be here when I'm older
Kids want to be trappers, we forgot about the culture
That social media the new version of MK Ultra

It's a marathon, something very wrong
We keep going through the dark, lights barely on
This ain't the American dream, it's an Ameri-con
Probably set fire to that bible you swearing on
They want to turn the Proud Boys into paragons
Would George Floyd be alive if his hair was blonde
They just tell us carry on, yeah, carry on
It's a marathon
It's a marathon
