lirik lagu the reason – vcity

[intro]

[verse 1: vcity]
broken down, i was attacked
slandered by the upper cl-ss
plutocrats in my past threw me back into the m-ss
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 encomp-ss 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 p-ss 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
