lyrics

Black futures got me thinking
Elevating through the matrix
Liberating through the motions
Transporting through the galaxies

Chaos in the streets
Looking who is running
Watch who falls
Here comes the popo
Look who is staying
Watch who is dying
Kyle got his bullets and made bail

Black futures got me thinking
Elevating through the matrix
Liberating through the motions
Transporting through the galaxies

See the world is burning, See the world turning
Elevating through the mess, striving for the best

Chaos in the nation
Look who is shouting
Watch who is listening
Cries from the grave
Cries from the seas
Watch who is dying
No drinking water
But we go to war

Black futures got me thinking
Elevating through the matrix
Liberating through the motions
Transporting through the galaxies
