sometimes this life seems easy
other times I wish it would release me
have a seat tell me whats on your mind, i wish
sleepy little people would just open your eyes
It’s nice when life completes me
and I can get a head without cheating
we’re the 99% to your one little slice
lemme be more precise, open your eyes
All the greedy little grabbers who can’t get enough
to all my rough tumble kids barely breaking bagged lunch
i carry around this sad hunch
lifes going down the crapper till we flush out this crap bunch
it’s a terrible time to try and be a white rapper
would’ve been better off on a hike to occupy to Iraq
watch your back here comes big brother
mission op to be wack and make the people suffer
sometimes this life seems easy
other times I wish it would release me
have a seat tell me whats on your mind, i wish
sleepy little people would just open your eyes
It’s nice when life completes me
and I can get a head without cheating
we’re the 99% to your one little slice
lemme be more precise, open your eyes

I been seeing all the protest, and reading the signs,
the Media suggest its a sign of the times,
all the while in denial, we go on with our lives
put on your blinds, single file, get back to the grind
billions of lives intertwined one future that’s on the line
millions of minds united, they call us the 99
willing to get violent, and fight right through the lines
make a stand against a tyrant, start denying the lies
no more enslaving our minds, call for the systems demise
they won’t listen to whisper, so we scream to the skies
insist we all dismiss, well fuck it lets occupy,
and listen to this bitch I'm resisting till i die.
sometimes this life seems easy
other times I wish it would release me
have a seat tell me whats on your mind, i wish
sleepy little people would just open your eyes
It’s nice when life completes me
and I can get a head without cheating
we’re the 99% to your one little slice
lemme be more precise, open your eyes
It nice when life completes me
other times I wish it would release me
everyone just do what their told,
the planets been sold, for a damn pile of gold
Riddle me this, whys-life-like-looking for a needle in piss?
I’m just needing some risk, your sitting there, feeding the tit
bleeding ya wrists, open your eyes and start seeing their shit
their eating your kids,
these people exist-creepin in shadows and mist,
where they shape and they shift, damn right their planning this shit,
I'm just a student in the dorm feeling safe in my place
the G-Dubs and John Pikes pepper sprayin in our face
it’s nice when life completes me
and I can get a head without cheating
we’re the 99% to your one little slice
lemme be more precise, open your eyes
