Antix Letters to my Unborn lyrics

Chorus
papa didn't raise no fool/no fool/no fool/papa didn't raise no fool/no fool/no fool X2

V1
you want a story kid?/well let me kick it then/don't fall victim to the miseries of wicked men/don't pay attention to the failures of the people you/see as the icons/there ain't no precedent for you/you're all alone/but I don't mean that to disillusion/but find your feet/get your stride/and get to moving/people hate/it's like a default or a precondition/forget those people/don't you ever/ever listen/life is music so play your own violins/you write the symphony/decide when you think it ends/question everything/but that's a given/don't become hypnotised by nobody else's rhythm/cry when you wanna cry/sing when you wanna sing/you ain't happy with your life/change it then/people moan about the world/but do nothing for it/see the problems that exist/but then ignore them/treat ‘em well/but don't let 'em play you for a fool/pinch of salt when you digest what they give to you/love your mother/whoever she turns out to be/I'm sure she's beautiful/like you/I can't wait to see/life is fragile/so even if I'm not around/know I went out in a blaze of righteous sound/speak my name frequently/so you remember me/coz easily the dust/settles on our memories

V2

youth is wasted on foolishness and indiscretion/but don't you worry about that/you gotta learn them lessons/you'll make mistakes/that's just what we do/but learning this way is worth more than what you'll learn in school/avoid religion/it's ignorance/and breeds contempt/blind faith is for the weak/who don't use their heads/you see injustice/speak out and kill it dead/apathy is the worst thing that exists in men/money's important but don't put it on a pedestal/if you got no soul/what the hell did you get it for?/you lack respect if you sold out to make your way/it ain't worth it/you'll burn in the paper chase/life has rules/but most of them are made for breaking/it's full of jewels/and most of them are made for taking/don't be timid/and don't shy/no one gives you nothing/you take it/or you step aside/the odds are stacked/but that's the way I like it/who wants it on a platter?/I wanna take it fighting/be a dreamer/but don't dream your life away/be idealistic/but execute the things you say/and when your time comes/and you face the dark abyss/and for the first time you see what the darkness is/you'll say/”damn, now they gonna remember me”/”I won't let the dust settle on these memories

V3
your grandma's gone/but trust me she'd have loved you/and you'd have loved her back/her spirit would have touched you/my sole regret is not taking better care of her/when she was sick/but I was young and not aware of the/repercussions of the impact of my actions/it stays with always/my own private sadness/but listen closely/when I tell you/regret is something that will never/ever/help you/you let it go/don't hold to hatred/it eats you up alive/strips you 'til you're naked/this planet's full up with misdirected rage/inherited malevolence that eats away the brain/that's not for you/you're a light that's gonna shine/illuminate the darkness/and one more time/you can say
