[Intro: Paradox]
Can I get an amen for my b-boys?
Amen! Yes, let's rejoice
Set to destroy the rest of these toys
Using movement to express their free voice
[Hook: Paradox]
It’s hard to make a right choice
And daily face the white noise
So I stay raising my voice
To fight back, despite the static
It's hard to make a right choice
And daily face the white noise
So I stay raising my voice
To fight back, despite the static
[Verse 1: Paradox]
I drown out the static of loudmouth fanatics
Shouting through ads in mags to bow-down the average
Downtown is savage, the bigger the billboards
Teeny-boppers feeding off of figures they'd kill for
Filtered through pills scored off some website
Numbed by the hum and struck dumb in headlights
Succumbed to the glow, sold our souls for the best price
Told how to dress by endless words, blurbs and press bytes
(Common child, 8 bars)
[Hook: Paradox]
It’s hard to make a right choice
And daily face the white noise
So I stay raising my voice
To fight back, despite the static
It's hard to make a right choice
And daily face the white noise
So I stay raising my voice
To fight back, despite the static

[Hook: Paradox]
It's hard to make a right choice
And daily face the white noise
So I stay raising my voice
To fight back, despite the static
It's hard to make a right choice
And daily face the white noise
So I stay raising my voice
To fight back, despite the static
[Verse 4: Common Child]
It's a drug binge, we plug in to drown hope with downloads
This dialogue's a firing squad thriving off the townsfolk
We outgrow the utmost, so cutthroats can upload
Toe-taggin' vocab to get love, but for what, though?
Told cats to hold back, like dope rap's one syllable
So we IV the high-speed through coax umbilicals
Peep your widescreen to witness the violent deaths
But dismiss the side effects, this isn’t just a giant mess
