I never said I'm heaven-sent, benevolent or seraphim A reverend has never blessed me, there's plenty better men Than just me, I guess I just met destiny and when she said I Was meant to be nothin better I ****ed her head up I said I'm fed up, I'll never let up And even if I never win I'm leaving as a better man The penitentiary, you fence me in, could never dead a man's Dreams it'll never end, you must believe And it seems that I never been who you think never fit in your measurements I'll never be one of you like there's two of me And there's a few of me Your suit never suited me, my school was truancy Newsflash ya, newscaster knew jack, his News wasn't new to me, it's what they want you to see So they could mold ya to what they want you to be But you are free Even if they lock you up you can change who they thought you was You can be who you want, because There's no chains that can stop your thoughts There's no cage that can lock us all There's no way we will not be forced to go away, the only thang they can do is to stop my pulse Still my words ring through the blocks We fought to find you when you think all is lost This is my new religion This is my new religion A prisoner of ambition Will anybody listen? This is my new religion He's sinking deeper even more Amassed a pile of secrets, can't keep 'em like before They spilling out, seeping through the floors Parents seeking the cause, ain't seen this coming, they ain't speakin' anymore They sensed a change, they wanna intervene, but can't seem to get close Will things ever be the same? He just wanna get ghost Packed an extra change of clothes in his coat Hit the corner, switch his gear, now he's ready to post He don't relate to what his dad be sayin', he feels betrayed Feels like everything he says gets washed away, they just look the other way More concerned with keeping up with what others say Ignored another day, he just slowly suffocates Wraps his bandana tighter, met some dudes that he admired Was inspired, they said, "Son, we'll walk with you into the fire We'll be there with you when everyone retreats, repeat We'll there for you when no one else can be" He told him how long waited Told them look nobodies here He told him how far he searched Looked high, looked low, nobody cared He told them bout all the pain he felt But buried deep inside He looked into his fathers eyes And said This is my new religion This is my new religion A prisoner of ambition Will anybody listen? This is my new religion My brain is in the future, my heart is in the moment I try to put my past in a coffin, can I close it? Goin' back and forth between the limbo that I live in And the way of life I think will be the window into heaven Or will it be my prison? Solitary confinement Meditatin', the booth is the monastery, the mind is Is the only enemy that I have The paranoia got me losin' every friend that I've had Slave to the dollar in this quarter life crisis, borderline lifeless Shouldn't even put a donor heart on my license *Gasps* I'm revived by the beat gimme ten seconds See me reppin' with these bars, bench pressin' Never go out, buried in my obsession If you relate, well then you've inherited my religion A lifetime of solitude, I don't need anybody Big change comin', I'm savin' every penny And if I sin I hope you find Some way to forgive All my wrongs But I can only find Salvation All alone This is my new religion This is my new religion A prisoner of ambition Will anybody listen?
