Ransom The Price Of Clarity Lyrics

[Intro]
Congratulations, you escaped the matrix
Or so it seems
I know the Architect said he made a door for the few who refused to accept the program
But he never said where that door lead
What if Morpheus was actually an agent and the red pill put you in another simulation?
Or worse still, what if you were in the real world until you took that pill
Think it through, how would you know?
You thought you cracked the code when you started seeing the lies
But that just made the truth damn near impossible to identify
And when you can only trust your own mind
And you can nеver be sure whеther you're free or trapped tolerably
Turns out, that's the price of clarity

[Verse 1]
They got this game in a chokehold, I'm like a fresh breath of air
Ignorance is bliss, if you know then you got less to fear
Knew that wouldn't catch your ear, so here, bring a vest to wear
Bullets make your side burn, you know we well connected here
So we all crystal, if not I'll make it extra clear
I don't do the gangsta talk, that's all y'all niggas thankful for
So I put a line in to keep y'all niggas chimed in
But when it comes to battle ain't no private pulling rank in war
Who ignites your battery? We have no similarities
Claiming you the realest when your whole life's a parody
My flow's nice as charity, my soul likes the agony
We in the same space but I control twice the gravity
Disrespecting gods'll get you more likes than causalities
You'll never be the same, but that's the whole price of clarity
Let's try to look at this casually
Thoughts from a hot head with a cold as ice anatomy

[Chorus]
You ain't gotta change the frame (Nah)
Once you see the picture, things'll never be the same
I put your jealousy to shame (Put it to shame, boy)
A life full of lies and misdirection (Goddamn)
You seen it with your own eyes, but still you question
There's no such thing as your pride in this profession (Nah) People trade that in for the prizes and possessions (Bunch of frauds, man)
There's always a lesson inside your tragedy
You'll never be the same when your blessed with the price of clarity

[Verse 2]
I knew the logic wasn't stacking up, them stats they was (?) up
The facts wasn't adding up, this don't really happen much
Create a weapon, vaccing us
Wait a second, back it up
So they was pulling off these lies while everyone was mad at Puff
Like if that wasn't bad enough, you're not allowed to speak about it
The wool over your eyes, now the wolves got the sheep surrounded
Everybody sleep walking, but that's how the sheeps is counted
Problem after problem, instead solving shit, we compound it
Freedom bounded, oh they might be listening
Let's get back to ignorance
That violence, vulgarity, absent minded belligerence
Pass the nine to get rid of 'em
The first rapper to speak is the last in line for the riddling
A devil to a priest, but a mastermind to the citizens (A genius, boy)
Yeah, protector of the weak 'cause I strategize for the innocent
There's a hint of aggression inside my mastery
I'll never be the same 'cause I paid for the price of clarity, nigga

[Break]
So clear right now
Things'll never be the same though

[Chorus]
You ain't gotta change the frame (Nah)
Once you see the picture, things'll never be the same
I put your jealousy to shame (Put it to shame)
A life full of lies and misdirection (They lying)
You seen it with your own eyes, but still you question (Damn)
There's no such thing as your pride in this profession (Nah)
People trade that in for the prizes and possessions (Still love those dudes though)
There's always a lesson inside your tragedy (Yeah)
You'll never be the same when your blessed with the price of clarity, damn
