I worked my ass off as a kid so I could stash money
Flash the dollar bills and grab all the honey
But while I was having fun, I was thinking ahead too
Giving in to no religion, I expanded my mind
Questions that were given opened up to find
Answers as to what I was getting into
Yeah, it might hurt a little, but take a look at that dude
Toothless, homeless, with half his mind missing
Yeah, his body's rotten and his past is long forgotten
But I don't play with nothing hard
I stick with what's real
Beyond the front yard, I'm by myself to deal
With this war zone that was your home and mine
We just want to go home or roam the mines
Even then we will stay to the lines
That lead us to our destination
This nation will fall, disregarding us all, and putting up a wall
To separate the hate from the love in this world
I saw it fold up then it twisted and twirled
Hurled itself into outer space
As if Earth wasn't enough
So we had to invade other planets, but damnit
We could've been happy here
Drinking Coronas in Florida with nothing to fear
I'm comin' up
Beneath the sheath
The blade of truth is born of youth
And graced by age, the world's a stage
The blade of truth is born of youth
And graced by age, the world's a stage
The blade of truth is born of youth
And graced by age, the world's a stage
The blade of truth is born of youth
And graced by age, the world's a stage
The world's a stage where people reenact the past
Don't even ask about the task
Follow the sun, no clouds to mask
Sit and bask, relax
No sudden blows or impacts
Just move with the movement and do what they're doing
Keep your cool when the situation is heated
And if it escalates on, stay seated and calm
Watch the wrong walk away because you disengaged
As the target, you were harmless
But still could never sway
You're the fearless, you're the farthest
From being scared away
Because when the time comes, and it will, you're ready
You'll grab your finest guns, hold them straight and steady
Lock, load, and unload
Extra ammo for the reload
Because if you fold, then he knows
If he blows, then you go
Maybe upwards to heaven from Earth
Just listen to these words and they may grant you rebirth
Every second is worth a lifetime with lines of rhymes
About limes and lemons, and rhythms of women
And taking and giving, and loving and living
This story can't be written
So we live unforbidden and hope to be forgiven
And given another chance to dance a little bit slower
Because before we know it, this life is over
I'm comin' up
Beneath the sheath,
The blade of truth is born of youth
And graced by age, the world's a stage.
The blade of truth is born of youth
And graced by age, the world's a stage
The blade of truth is born of youth
And graced by age, the world's a stage
The blade of truth is born of youth
And graced by age
