\\nBREAK THE SPELL
\\nThey\\u2019re coming again
\\nThey\\u2019re coming for my own heart
\\nJust live and forget
\\nEveryone plays their part
\\n
\\nNeed a reset
\\nSpirits in the mind are breaking through
\\nNew consciousness
\\nVisions of something I can\\u2019t prove
\\n
\\nWe\\u2019re changing slowly
\\nBut still falling onto ourselves
\\nCan\\u2019t stop the controlling
\\nCould melodies break the spell?
\\n
\\nIllegal truth
\\nCovered up like it\\u2019s suicide
\\nForbidden fruit
\\nHow can you tell me what is mine?
\\n
\\nWe\\u2019re changing slowly
\\nBut still falling onto ourselves
\\nCan\\u2019t stop the controlling
\\nCould melodies break the spell?
\\n
\\nWe\\u2019re changing slowly
\\nBut still falling onto ourselves
\\nCan\\u2019t stop the controlling
\\nCould melodies break the spell?
\\n
\\nTime to grow up
\\n\'Cause it\\u2019s no rights if they control us
\\nMy whole life all I heard was \\u201cno drugs\\u201d
\\nComing from the motherfuckers that don\\u2019t even know drugs
\\nAnd as I
\\nGet to get a little closer
\\nI can identify the propaganda like \\u201chold up\\u201d
\\nThen we can recognize that the lies never hold up
\\nWhether you do a line, or wine, or you roll up
\\nHigh Times couldn\\u2019t cover my mind by the byline
\\nThe news never spill the truth on a timeline
\\nThe boys in blue are the brutes in my lifetime
\\nI been on sidelines and now it\\u2019s high time
\\nLook at the country deposit
\\nLocking my people for profit
\\nHow can you look in the mirror?
\\nI cannot honor "Your Honor"
\\nChasing our happiness and I\\u2019m knowing the courage will cause it
\\nWhat do we need? To get out the closet
\\nWassup?
\\n
\\nWe\\u2019re changing slowly
\\nBut still falling onto ourselves
\\nCan\\u2019t stop the controlling
\\nCould melodies break the spell?
