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
