It's something that's inside, something that makes us strive
It's not the voice in my head or your poor streets
They place the blame on you, they place the blame on me
There's nothing you can do to change this world
Is it the weakness? Is it the desperation?
Is it the solemn faces in the tower?
Convincing eyes, multiple contributing to the aggression
That persuades me to take up arms upon you, upon you
They claim the states in distress due to the rise in crime
I feel the manifest has broken far west
Was it a suicide? Was it a homicide?
No one really cares, so it's your death
We are the ones who will suffer 'cause in 2001
Nothing has changed 'cause nothing was done
To control our resources, to contain out pollutants
Well, hemp could have saved the world
But you, you're too scared in fear of your economy
Tripping, falling, locked out inside
Control, resist products that left us
Slipping, drowning, crumble down, down
Dwindled, endangered, dying extinct
You say we caught this disease, it's running through our veins
It's gonna end this world, spread through your culture
We're breeding every day, your children turning to us
The pleasant way is gone 'cause it don't work
It don't work, it don't work, it don't work
Restraint, restraint, restraint
Yes this world you've wasted, don't you think you've tasted
The fruits of this life, this will be your restraint
