Diabolical Fun - Illogic

This is diabolical fun with psychological implications

You better run or end while I raise the temperature 'til I melt the sun

Maturity is a gift

Of course I’m the number one imploring the masses lift their hands 'til we

stand as one of floating relationships

The mainstream swallowed some, the others have yet to quit

The sand shows our time has come, what will we do with it?

Gotta work for what you want, respect is a privilege, not a right for

simpletons just imitating tv

Hurt your pride attempting this, I make it look so easy

To be a lyricist takes diligence, believe me

The food I now harvest had to start out as seedlings

Staying rooted’s the hardest part of being emcees

Losing ourselves as artists happens ‘cause fame is tempting

Just stay cautious about how you approach things

At times I feel nauseous ‘cause this industry’s disgusting

Never be too trusting, keep your eyes open

Be aware of your surroundings, never lose focus

‘cause a human being nothing is just waiting on the locus

But a human being something eventually is noticed

Sick of seeing all the suffering, that’s why my heart wrote this

I’m intent on rediscovering the path to where hope is

The revolution’s bubbling and those that don’t know it will have a hard time

recovering when the machine is broken

The truth has been spoken, now we gotta make it happen

I’m done with the joking, my generation needs some action

Enough with the party-going and obsession with fashion

‘cause when brilliance is flowing, it’s a reflection of passion

Pain is flowing through the veins of the masses

‘cause the game’s ignoring the brains of the masses

At the rate I’m going, you should have your seatbelts fastened

Or fold the cards you’re holding when these egos start crashing

Hope my legacy matches the rhythm of the drum

Sparking survival tactics for followers to come

I calculate my reactions to shape what I’ve become

‘cause my back has taken some lashes from tryna touch the sun

I’m tired of climbing ladders, reaching for endless rung

There’s no need for mindless chatter, most heroes are unsung

Of course I’m flattered but my job here is not done

And I won’t stop attacking 'til the battle is won
