A Game Named Life - Akala/Mai Khalil[00:00:00]
Um In a game named life[00:00:02]
In a game named life[00:00:06]
In a game named life[00:00:09]
In a game named[00:00:11]
A game named life where fools make the rules[00:00:13]
And poets paint pictures with words that change nothing[00:00:15]
Survival of the fittest they say are they sure[00:00:18]
Or just the survival of those[00:00:21]
With the will to kill more[00:00:22]
The heart that thinks itself purely surely is not hungry[00:00:23]
Hungry hearts know too well the world is f**kery[00:00:26]
And nature is indifferent to the suffering of infants[00:00:29]
That think ourselves growing[00:00:32]
Human beings and something special[00:00:33]
But as fate would have it I ain't buying the idea of fate[00:00:34]
It seems we shape every place that we grace with hate[00:00:37]
Depending which side of the fence or which epoch[00:00:40]
You die a slow death or be singing from the treetops[00:00:42]
Praise for the status quo cus you're comfortable[00:00:45]
Those who lost out in this lottery ha f**k 'em all[00:00:48]
Nice with this roll of the dice I'm quite proud and[00:00:50]
I don't know if we will ever roll another time round[00:00:53]
When the how[00:00:55]
It's a game named life[00:00:57]
In a game named life[00:00:59]
In a game named life[00:01:02]
In a game named life[00:01:05]
In a game named life[00:01:07]
Where the dice decide where I go[00:01:09]
There I go in a game named life[00:01:11]
I dream to be let go[00:01:14]
A game named life where fools make the rules[00:01:17]
And poets paint pictures[00:01:19]
With words that change nothing[00:01:21]
Young child soldier revolver not bluffing[00:01:22]
In a game that teaches children[00:01:25]
To kill but can't love them[00:01:26]
What is the journey of a bullet from[00:01:27]
The ground until we pull it[00:01:29]
A piece of earth made to blow holes in souls[00:01:30]
I'd like to know does a child choose in[00:01:33]
It's mother's core or before as just[00:01:35]
A sperm to be born in war[00:01:36]
Does another sperm choose greatness[00:01:38]
Floating in his father's pleasure[00:01:40]
Or does the game only begin[00:01:41]
When the umbilical's severed[00:01:42]
Is that the reason babies born screaming[00:01:44]
Because they know they left the spirit world[00:01:45]
To live here with no meaning among demons[00:01:47]
That see them as nothing more than chess pieces[00:01:49]
In a game named life where even[00:01:51]
Te winners stop breathing[00:01:53]
And the whole thing is as tedious[00:01:54]
As a tale that is told twice[00:01:55]
We clone life but don't even own our own life[00:01:57]
In a game named life[00:02:01]
In a game named life[00:02:03]
In a game named life[00:02:06]
In a game named life[00:02:08]
In a game named life[00:02:11]
Where the dice decide where I go[00:02:13]
There I go in a game named life[00:02:15]
I dream to be let go[00:02:18]
Sacrifice pain and strife[00:02:22]
This game named life is over[00:02:27]
Before we even know[00:02:30]
Life is a mirror always looking at you[00:02:32]
It's not what we say or think[00:02:34]
We are just what we do[00:02:35]
With the time that is given it comes with no ribbon[00:02:37]
Because life is not a gift to everyone that's living[00:02:39]
Most of the moves are made[00:02:42]
Before you took your first go[00:02:43]
Some got a huge head start before their first role[00:02:45]
So you could play with more skill than the other players[00:02:48]
They will still be ahead because[00:02:50]
The past generations[00:02:51]
Accumulated spaces so[00:02:53]
They could practice with acres[00:02:54]
Illuminated arrangements so[00:02:55]
They could manage retainers[00:02:57]
Are you foolish They ain't racing[00:02:58]
We're chasing the pay slip[00:02:59]
So they have won before even the[00:03:01]
Game starts unless we change it[00:03:02]
To another set of rules different from the fools[00:03:03]
But to do that we are going[00:03:06]
To have to use their tools[00:03:07]
And therein lies our greatest dilemma[00:03:09]
In this game named life who's playing it better[00:03:11]
It's a game named life[00:03:15]
In a game named life[00:03:18]
In a game named life[00:03:21]
In a game named life[00:03:23]
In a game named life[00:03:26]
Where the dice decide where I go[00:03:27]
There I go in a game named life[00:03:30]
I dream to be let go[00:03:33]
It's a game named life[00:03:37]
In a game named life[00:03:39]
In a game named life[00:03:42]
In a game named life[00:03:45]
In a game named life[00:03:47]
It's a game named life[00:03:50]
It's a game named life[00:03:52]
In a game named life[00:03:55]
In a game named life[00:03:58]
In a game named life[00:04:00]
In a game named life[00:04:03]
In a game named life[00:04:06]
