Jake Tracey - The Declaration Lyrics
[Verse]Ladies and gentleman, listen to what you’re about to hearA reflection, a recollection of all my doubts and fearsAmerican Society is corrupted, peace interruptedRacism and violence, our humanity is *****ing disruptedWe live in a simple, ridiculous, *****ed up generationExcuse my honesty; it’s all part of my reputationSpeak up, and stand up, this is your emancipationThe declaration of my independence, here’s a demonstrationI live the American Dream Jay Gatsby, Tom and DaisyMy vision’s hazy, people use me, but it doesn’t phase meHaters amaze me, it’s sick the way they try to tame mePut me down, deem me a clown, but why should you blame me?I’m at the top of the pinnacle, the lyrical miracle, speaking out spiritualsDon’t try to ridicule me, hystericalOnly human, human rights, ***** the separationHere is my statement, my announcement, my declarationSame boy from Austin, Texas all the way to San DiegoThey used to build me up and crash me down like a box of LegosI’m not the fool, I’m too cool to be underestimatedDespite the controversy of how many boys and girls I’ve datedI advocate equality, not inequality***** the math, cause 1 plus 1 equals 2, and that’s how it should beMale or female, we all unite in the unityThat’s why we’re America, but no one will ever listen to meI bring truth to my songs since Under ConstructionAfter my third album, life felt like the greatest destructionMentally trapped, the metaphorical abductionRejected, neglected, devoid of seductionI’ve lived my life in a crazy waySkin cuts, tightropes, suicidal cabaretA *****tail of Valium and TylenolI had taken the fall, and no one to callBefore I came back up, I blamed the industryFor getting the best of me, using up all of my energy*****ed up producers ignoring my creativityLawsuits, decreasing sales, it impacted me2-year hiatus, petitions and debatesOn whether I should come back and face the hateCreated this album almost 2 years lateBut I’m back with a vengeance, and I’m sure you’ll relateI was born to conquer, never born to failBut life is nothing but a fairy taleYou reap what you sow, you get what you giveI got what I wanted, a longer chance to liveYeah, I’m sure you’ll know who I really amWhen these next 19 songs are on your stereo, you’ll understandI don’t expect any superior expectationsJust listen to the truth, this is my declaration[Chorus]Rise up, speak outTell these mother*****ers what it’s all aboutAct up, lash out***** the haters, show ‘em we don’t play aroundThis is the declarationWhoa oh ohWave your hands up high if you’re ready for this rideSay, whoa oh ohWave your hands up high if you’re ready for this rideYeah
