Different worlds you and I.
We’re either just,
Brainwashed to follow the lies, or
Killed if we open our eyes…

Freedom! That’s what I’m sayin’.
You won’t believe me,
If I say every night I’m prayin’.
You won’t see that,
The clouds keep greying.

You won’t hear me,
Cuz you never lived it.
You never grieved in,
A world full of lies, by,
Leading snakes in disguise.

That’s right! Our world is different,
I’ll have faith that
You’re not that ignorant

Waves of one ocean, right?
Drops of one sea, right?
Flowers of one garden, right?
Trees of one orchard, right?!

Freedom is my middle name,
It’s pumping through my lineage veins,
But we’re either just,
Brainwashed to follow the lies, or
Killed if we open our eyes.
