The Briefcase Lyrics by Consensus

The Contract

2015

[Verse 1]
I exist out of the necessity of balance
For the human condition that takes pleasure being backwards
Accepting the cure was so readily apparent
But prevention was better than the remedy that hasn't
The empathy gathered until it ended in distraction
Was the truth in all likelihood we'll never see it happen
But 'clever seeing patterns' is what made hope...
This is the lecture being challenged by the apprentice of Plato
The fortune halo, force of a volcano
I don't just talk the walk because I say so
I was talking the walk in thought, before the shape chosen to make spoken words display as phrase quotes
Meaning, as the saying goes
So it is written, so to shall they make it so
So it was written so to shall they make it known
I'm just working until I make it home

[Hook]
Work hard so was given a chance that most people will never see in life
And through a man's wealth, I could manage the world, but in return for the paperwork I sign
It said that none should ever jeopardise my freedom and to take out anyone that tried, why?
An out-taker, paper with no leeway, the contract worker with the briefcase

[Verse 2]
That's why we fight for the bothers born all stars
Fast forward past, there's no rewind, pause, start
They're playing the wrong type of score card, player its time that more pass the poor class
Mmm the other thoughts start Guy Fawkes mask juggernaut, touring the upper floor on a war path
Black panther, repeated like a mantra
Black panther, black panther in every line of the stanza
Reverse sacrilege if I die it's as an activist
That's irrespective to damage of the spine or cancer
The 10 commandments without the final answer, like
Thou shalt not exist if you tie my hands up!
Living the 2 shades that describe the panda
When told to live a life either die or man up
The type of anger born from implying handcuffs
And the one fist designed to stand up

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
It's like I fully believe in everything that I just said
Everything that I just said, I believe in it fully
Most people controlled just believe what they're told
And when it bleeds from their soul, that's as deep as a it could be
But I see in them the things that represent:
What sheep is to hoody, what fleece is to woolly, bow peep without woody
What weakness and cowardice, people in power need people to bully
No evil can shush me
What angered the world that kept hanging itself with the lever and pulley
No evil can shush me
The anger that helped to stop man as the healthiest being it could be
The freedom there should be, I believe in the cause
And everything that I just said, I believe in it all
The speakers thoughts on their knees as they crawl
Was no means for my people to fall that's just not cool

[Hook]
