Lyrics

The lyrics were included in the Persona 4 Original Soundtrack and Persona 4: Dancing All Night Original Soundtrack + Advanced CD Collector's Edition booklets.

Lost destiny Far outcry They hear you no more

Numb feeling Whole dizziness Deep scars No pain

No sanity Body aching Control your own fate

Invisible Real enemy Ruin your mind Deep down


Darkness Endless Despair Fear no more

Coldness Blackened No sound Feel no pain

Captured Helpless Ultimate Dreadful fate

Powerless Lifeless No breath Falling down


Down down to the base

the sound you're about to hear is deep down hip hop

what you gone do when they start to come up

well they've already come up to surround you up

to dis you at a world cup but I guess it depends

on how you gone behave in that moment, Huh

a moment of truth tell me what's really happening

their rhyme is nothing but you've got everything

Bro, you've got everything but you donno anything...

(chorus from the Persona 4 version)


Darkness Endless Despair Fear no more

Coldness Blackened No sound Feel no pain

Captured Helpless Ultimate Dreadful fate

Powerless Lifeless No breath falling down


Lost destiny Far outcry They hear you no more

No sanity Body aching Control your own fate

Numb feeling Whole dizziness Deep scars No pain

Invisible Real enemy Ruin your mind Deep down


Deep Deep down to the basement

replacement goes as placement

big bucks payment or dirty like enslavement

began to lose patience to these complacent

successors who assesses rules that assassinates us

Me

a lot of confidence but far from vanity

reason why I got a crew behind me my family

even if they tried to bribe me

never ride that, believe in beauty of destiny it's fire

darker the blood the fresher the flesh

but darker the soul the lesser the heart

lessons untaught

yo backside of TV to some's like DV

bottomless dark side of man not for the weak kids

underestimated way of brainwashing illuminated

bunch of hallucianation[sic] but to some's elucidation

hell nah I won't cave I'm an outlaw

switch my style counterattack from the south paw


(chorus from the Persona 4 version)


nowadays many people abuse information better

choose

recognize the source of course or get accused soon

be careful who you choose to speak in back room

jealousy jealously[sic] running like sonic boom

it's messed up how anger and hatred looms large

in the dark

leaving scars to some by who's fumed

I got my third eye to see through their costumes

lies after lies, middle finger from Lotus Juice

this pothole's beyond dark, bizarre so intriguing

lost ones drunk off of pool of money dreaming

damn some still battling against these demons

brave souls even screaming oh please Jesus

money makes the world go around who the richest?

Mother Theresa but they never listen to me

kept dressing with a fake coverage

spitfire burn these dreads baby baby baby


(chorus from the Persona 4 version)


bring it up bring it up

backside to everything but we're gonna bring it up

even if I die my words will live bring it up

until my last breath, never ever gonna give it up

hmmm ridiculousness

suppose it's sick business

but we ain't gonna be fooled by these sickness

my brains is safe and sound with pure goodness

I guess comparably

so just throw your hands high in the air

in the air

so I can see how y'all feeling put it up in the air

when I say yeah

I wish you say it back say oh yeah

I love it,

let's change the world
