lyrics

Out of Control -

(Chorus)

Feeling so out of control
Man, the world's spinning out of control
Man, the world's spinning out of control
Maybe we're out of control

The world's spinning out of control
Man, the world's spinning out of control
Yo, the world's spinning out of control
Man, the world's spinning out of control
Yo, the world's spinning...

Verse 1

We're fighting over quote unquote facts we'll never truly know
Wether it's true or false, it happened so long ago...
Couldn't we define our own guidelines and decide that anything leading to crime is out of line?
If truly destructive
And counterproductive
even if you quote unquote "win"
Your karma sucks kid

How you gonna progress through life off the back of another man's strife?
Off of the death of another man's wife
Off of the death of a mother's kids...
World of confusion
We've flipped our wigs

....inside out
Getting right before my kin dies out
Breathe in the sun before my skin dries out
I aint jumping out that window the wind flies out
Won’t be the coward in no pretend hideout
I'm in the trenches talking brothers up on benches
Hoping my gems penetrate stenches
Man, I'm right there with them
keeping it funky
If I’m African American, tell me which country
Our differences shouldn’t make you wanna hunt me
When in reality every fruit came from one tree

(Chorus)

Feeling so out of control man
The world's spinning out of control yo
The world's spinning out of control
The world's spinning out of control man
The world's spinning out of control
It's so...
Outta control
The world's spinning out of control man
The world's spinning out of control yo
The world's spinning out of control
The world's spinning (spinning) spinning

Verse 2

Yeah it's true
The world's spinning out of control
Sometimes, I'm tempted to just let go
Somehow I find the strength to hold on
I've seen the light of day
So I know dawn
Holding everyone I love with both arms
So strong
I'm hoping this embrace will help us all know calm
I wish we didn't all know harm

...but we do so we fight through
It's what we must do not what we might do
Wether you a Philanthropist who’s putting up a lot of his dough
Or if you poor with you socks poking outta ya toes
It's our own lives we gotta patrol
And I’m a optimist bro
I looked around to see whats popping and yo…

Philosopher stone
With modesty tones
That we offer to own
To get us up out of the prodigal zone

No matter how many dollars you own
Or where you calling ya home
It's obvious that the globe is spinning outta control

(Chorus)

Feeling so out of control man
The world's spinning out of control yo
The world's spinning out of control
The world's spinning out of control man
The world's spinning out of control
It's so...
Outta control
The world's spinning out of control man
The world's spinning out of control yo
The world's spinning out of control
The world's spinning (spinning) spinning
