Knowledge of Self Lyrics by XIV

Eta

2008

[Verse 1]
I'm timeless
But this patience won't do
We gotta create
Make a break through
Expanding far beyond
The given status
Rising up above the $h*t
Coming at us
Let's realize the possibility
Separate ourselves from
The damn t.v
Take the time to play in reality
Open up the door
And see what's to see
[Break}
The only way out is through
And the light in the darkness shines from within
Feed the fire with your desire
And heat this cold world up again
[Chorus]
'Cuz I got knowledge of self
'Cuz I got knowledge
[Verse 2]
They need you to consume
And not to ask
Buy up all this garbage
And pretend it's not trash
And if you think of it
Before they do
They'll buy the idea
And sell it back to you
[Verse 3]
Everything we create
Becomes commodity
But I see the dollar
As just a liability
A slaves wage for a day
In the land of the free
They may fool some
But not me
[Chorus]
'Cuz I got knowledge of self
'Cuz I got knowledge
[Verse 4]
The blood has been tainted
And we need a transfusion
Put some peace and love
Back in the revolution
Never give up
Never just let it be
Stand true to your visions
And set us all free
Think when you move
When you buy
When you speak
Don't ever sell your soul
Or even rent it for a week
