Lyrics and translation
Original
Yeah, I, I, I thought we discussed this.
I mean, we both came to some type of agreement, didn't we? I, I thought, I thought, man.
Something's mucky in the waters. Sip or taste and you won't find truth.
Trying to take back what they owed us. You ain't ever gonna take my roots from me.
-Finding my way through this masquerade. -Want to be free.
It's not the way it's -supposed to be. -Getting penny on the horn about an offer.
Man, agreed to meet at Costa. Convinced me I'd be perfect for the roster.
Hate it when the situation feeler that you gotta make the best of it.
Light years from the truth and you're feeling so desolate.
Where the ebb and wit, it died in the honeymoon. Headed to the races 'cause you gave a little running room.
They trick you like a summer gloom. When things got hot later, then switch to Darth Vader.
Mass forced to believe in the empire.
Hard to bring you up to speed, but slick to entice. And you catch them pop and padding when things transpiring.
And they lost what they never bought. I should have never bought into the BS. I was human BS.
Wake up in the morning and greet it BS, see this?
Crystal clear waters and why -should I see less? -Something's mucky in the waters.
Sip or taste and you won't find truth. Trying to take back what they owed us.
You ain't -ever gonna take my roots from me. -Finding my way through this masquerade.
Want to be free. It's not the way it's supposed to be.
Yeah, I, I'm just trying to figure things out, 'cause we, we said it was like this, -and then you said this, but now it's- -Never gonna feel this way again.
Never gonna feel this way again. Never gonna feel this way again.
Never gonna feel this way again.
Never gonna feel this- Even though it's hard to see, oh, oh, over our eyes trying to disguise, searching for silver in the lining.
A bit of ho-hope I see flicker in the dark. The truth is in the heart.
We gonna expose the lies, illuminate peace, burning out their minds.
It's already been televised.
Lots of witnesses, alibis, evidence sanitized, sanity jeopardized. Your idea, your passion drive now neutralized.
Utilize niggas that you knew, now it's shooting guys unsupervised.
Dreams now euthanized 'cause they was led astray. So let's take a moment and let us pray.
Never gonna feel this way again.
Never gonna feel this way again. Never gonna feel this way again.
Never gonna feel this way again. Never gonna feel this way again.
Never gonna feel this way again. Never gonna feel this way again. Never gonna feel this way again.
Never gonna feel this way again. Never gonna feel this way again.
Never gonna feel this -way again. -Something's mucky in the waters.
Sip or taste and you won't find truth. Trying to take back what they owed us.
You -ain't ever gonna take my roots from me. -Finding my way through this masquerade.
-Want to be free. -It's not the way it's supposed to be.
