LYRICS:

it ain't a competition, you know what i'm saying?
sometimes y'all be like, "who's the best battery?" right?

nah, i ain't think i can rap.
i think i'm a pissed-off rich kid with bitch tits and my game's wack.
but i ain't afraid to admit that. hi, my name's zack,
and at least i ain't asleep or a sheep like these racing rats.
i started late like i forgot i had to lace these tracks,
but it ain't a pissing contest; my noggin faces facts.
and what it sees is something strange:
a bunch of pieces of a chain,
nobody's free, we're all enslaved,
that's why we must be brave, but,

these tame cats breeding waste like some dang maggots,
feeding off the memes thats in my brain like inane patterns.
i'm tryna preach praise but they say that it ain't matter
with lying eyes and wide smiles like trained actors.
y'all talking shit, no polyglot.
y'all ain't comprehending what i spit? i'm sorry, dog.
i'm tryna drop knowledge but they hardly watch,
thinking that the problem's getting solved by the oligarchs,
but it's probably not, honestly we all are shocked.
ask us who the terrorists is, we say the Taliban.
ask us if we scared to resist, we say the war is lost
i'm tryna help american kids, but obama's not

and neither is the gospel or the pot smoke that your partner got.
the drinks, drugs and the bibles all are prisons, let the garbage rot.
i been stuck in denial, but i'm studying survival
now who else gon wan help me stop starvation in somalia?
come on then, let's get goin, are we unconscious or uncommon?
we obviously all have an appointment in samarra that
we gotta be insane to wanna keep,
he got the flame but talk is cheap,
i'm gunning for the ones on top who fleece the bottom like a priest.
and i ain't pointing the blame, but we got choices to make, so pick your poison, okay?
said, are we healing the pain or destroying the things we need?
we're motherfuckers like some freudian fiends,

because we fuck the planet and duck our responsibilities like a stuck-up bastard
caught in a rut, wondering what had we done to suffer this punishment, grasping
around at straws, wanting a pause but
every governments under the thumb of the companies,
study it, buddy, i did, i discovered the trouble and now i am uttering it
but you need to hear it so fuck it i'll scream!

listen up really i'm someone to heed
we fill up the freeways, there's no way to breathe
we're dealing with greed, it's become a demon, it's like a leviathan, i'm fit to name it
mesopotamia, ur and sumeria, what is the cause? civilization.
it's inherently unsustainable... so quit debating, fools....

and what's the point of y'all fame if we act voiceless and blameless?
so keep your coins. i'll keep begging for changes.

[TheOriginalOwnage]

So I look up, "why is rap a pissing contest?"

and this is what I find. lol

[zzz33333]

@TheOriginalOwnage WORD

[ameenowns]

Dude do you know Charlie Veitch?

[zzz33333]

@ameenowns Not personally.

[atxranger2]

It's apparent that a bunch of haters voted "dislike" together so that another contestant would win--But surely, this rap will gain support from a less biased public.

I'm begging for changes too man.

[Switch613]

Really like the how the video complimented the lyrics, really dope man.

[straypome]

Too many jewels dropped in dis one. The signs made it officially official tho!

[titstylekrew]

Powerful message!

[PaulsCool47]

we kuje ut

[juliaisafilmbuff123]

:)

I'm not anti-civ but you are cool.

[vietnguyenvy]

nice to see a conscious rapper. Like.

[fabfauna]

Wicked tune. I think I like it the most of what I've seen. Great effort, I hope you win the contest. Good luck.

I haven't seen a video in a while, and can say that I'm glad I've seen this one.

Cheers.
