Horrorshow Unfair Lottery lyrics

[Verse 1: Solo]

Look up the truth's falling from the sky/
The cup is overflowing and the river's running dry/
Command came down from up on high/
Heard ringing out over the sound of battle cries/
So I'm tryna break the cycle while my signs are still vital/
Repent for every second that I stood by idle/
Gather my disciples and listen for a while/
As I ask each now to bear witness to my to my trial/
Half in denial that they don't know just what it's like/
Being male, middle class and white, just kidding right?/
As the art imitates life imitates art/
I sit back and watch it all intertwine/
Guilty of the crime, of killing time/
Dirty hands on the clock minutes ticking by/
So I stand up in the dock and I give em my/
Testimonial, the rap quotable/
Master of the ceremonial, what/

[Hook]

See I'd have this world believe that I'm a brave man/
Someone worthy of your praise/
But if I found my role to play within the game plan well I'd take that to my grave/
It's an unfair lottery/
Self-fullfilling prophecy/
Wading through the broken promises and lost property/


[Verse 2: Solo]

So what's your lot in life? While some are spending long nights/
On the street, alone under the watchful eye/
Of CCTV, seems you can either have a silver spoon or be a mouth to feed/
I see the light dying out beyond the horizon's edge/
Some are watching through the silhouette of a barbed wire fence/
Counting the days and tryna make some sense/
Of a world that never came to their defence/
For nothing but the crime of running for their lives/
Escaping war and unrest, while we're numb inside/
So we keep our lips sealed while they hunger strike/
Like Mr Kelly once said yo, such is life/
So on the days when I catch myself slipping away for a minute there/
Stuck on a self pity tripping off what or isn't fair/
I remind myself to be prepared/
Every ticket's got a buyer beware/
None of this can be undone - it's one part luck, one part fate/
From the top of the ladder to the bottom rung/
Truth is I ain't that brave, but a lot of heroes go unsung/
None of this can be undone, it's one part luck, one part fate/
From the top of the ladder to the bottom rung/
Victims of circumstance, deserving a chance/
And only ever got one (only got one)/

[Hook]
