Unknown Artist
The Fable
(Hook/Intro)
So we're back again, a tale of who can, just look at these hands
But it ain't pretend, I got where I am, by sacking the man
For those who think this struggle is dead, is all I can stand
Is all I can stand.. when you're losing yourself to the bands

(Verse: 1)
From those being backyard-ed, those 90's when it first started
From the time we were carded, first taught it
Now we keep all the memories of when we first parted
Only not to forget where we came from
But to remeber who we were made young
The path for all that grow under the sun
Equal chance to make a life for everyone
Yeah mom said the Devil's out here lurking
Don't be fooled by the prize just working
Whomever you become, make a man for yourself
Cause out here there's no help, just leave the burden
So fuck these n***as and their talk, all that shit's cheap
I don't see any hands helping me, no I don't see any hand outs for free
No need to assist on a verbal killing spree

(Message)
Yeah... cause if you think back, who are you really? Who are you
Making happy or disappointing with your achievements and the
Things you do.. your family? Society? Never be afraid to be true
To yourself, no matter who you are

(Hook)
So we're back again, a tale of who can, just look at these hands
But it ain't pretend, I got where I am, by sacking the man
For those who think this struggle is dead, is all I can stand
Is all I can stand.. when you're losing yourself to the bands

(Verse: 2)
Losing yourself to the money, ain't that funny
Striving to be the best, but just for the honey
Brought to life what we know, less stress for the rest
The underpass of life is where I stay running
They talk like an almanac, who's thee outcast?
Oh the one who you thought would not last, (sure)
Yeah the who figured that based on his past
He would amount to nothing, looking back from the glass
But I sweat and I bled and I fought that
A generation made tame, it's time for us to act
When it's our job to be the ones to pick up the slack
Got to expand your mind cause we're under attack
So fuck this news and their talk, all that shit's whack
I don't see anyone helping Jack (shit), no I don't know if they see us or the black
There's no need for guns kept aimed at our back

(Message)
Yeah... as we become the people we need to be, remember, that who you are shouldn't be a reflection of what someone else wants you to be. The story you carve should be your own. Be who YOU need to be. Especially when they make us seem so expendable

(Verse: 3)
That way there's no expectations, just reality
To those stuck in the cloud and feel the duality
Of living in a world where coins make the call
Screaming children in free fall, "I just want to be proud of me"
I just want to make them see, what it means to me
What it means to be free to in today's socitey
To pursue your dreams as you fucking tear at the seems
And to understand that we all stem from the same tree
Too much dissin' and beef, that's the wrong slice of meat
Why does a difference in opinion shed blood in the street
Human beings or homunculi unless we achieve great feat
Pulling strings as we reach the sky, that corruption hype beast
So at least can we cease this blight for the peace
Hold onto yourself, give em hell, my soul to keep
The future is still in our hands, don't mind the gripe
Cause I plan to break the lease they got on me, get sniped

(Outro)
This pressure is all that I can stand
When you're losing yourself to the bands
