Upper Class'

[Intro] [Verse 1: VCity] Broken down, I was attacked Slandered by the upper class Plutocrats in my past threw me back into the mass They were cold, they were mean, privilege led to cruelty I took the blow, stayed serene Wandered through, city streets Saw despair, saw the pain, of stricken souls without a name Saw the world, saw the whole and the path the sages chose One in heart, one in soul Above the wars, and those opposed To simple decent kindly ways, as hardened hearts rule the day I expand my consciousness to encompass all I see in this Lifetime, I write rhymes within and above these dark times Sublime, my light shines, in spite of attempts to confine My mind within, society Greater than, what you see My day to day will pass away, and my songs will forever breathe As these conflicts that I navigate, melt into eternity [Hook: VCity and Mike Maven] The reason must be bigger than The millions I made for show I shunned the highest bidder to pursue eternal wisdom Now the truth is all I want to know The reason must be bigger than The millions I made for show I shunned the highest bidder to pursue eternal wisdom Now the truth is all I want to know [Verse 2: VCity] Resurrected by, the works of art Of poets who sing, and do impart Insights into the human heart, and godly words that go beyond the fleeting forms in Nature's play that Shakespeare used to entertain While Homer sang, about war and wrath Vyasa said, be not attached To the illusions that control our days, casted out in a daze, my will was caught in a battle with fate, and I was weakened by my loss of faith Faith in self, faith in songs All is God, I move along A path illumined by the stars, illuminated by my bars I gave my life to my muse, and keep my thoughts pure and true Fortified, by knowledge gained Through toil and struggle, perplexed and pained My rise was contradicted by the powerful and wicked, and materialism with which, American is afflicted Wishing to, be ever free I read and found, my relief In sacred text and the wisest heads, who went beyond life and death With courage and love I rose above, battles between east and west [Hook: VCity and Mike Maven] The reason must be bigger than The millions I made for show I shunned the highest bidder to pursue eternal wisdom Now the truth is all I want to know The reason must be bigger than The millions I made for show I shunned the highest bidder to pursue eternal wisdom Now the truth is all I want to know [Verse 3: VCity] Dead to myself, and all I felt When my world was full of pride and greed Caught in a spell, I was cursed and fell My attachment led to misery Self-abnegate, as the sages say Let your soul be beautiful and free Be brave in the face, of those who hate Forgive and work with serenity [Hook: VCity and Mike Maven] The reason must be bigger than The millions I made for show I shunned the highest bidder to pursue eternal wisdom Now the truth is all I want to know
