The Answer
Dr. J Lyrics

Do you wonder why we cry
Have you ever thought about the reason behind our tears?

Let me tell you why
Allow me to explain the reason why we cry.

Looking up to the sky
Gazing at the heavens for answers.

The answers hard to come by
The solution is not easily obtainable.

And I am not saying
I am not implying.

That you are insane
That you are crazy.

For saying the same things
For expressing similar thoughts.

That I have been saying
That I too have articulated.

And I am not slaying
I am not insultingly criticizing.

your faith and you trust
Your belief and reliance.

I just advocate
I am promoting.

the answers inside of us
The solutions that lie within ourselves.

And it may just be
Perhaps it's true.

That the answers inside of me
The solutions that are within me.

Objective but so troubling
Exact but unsettling.

Making my soul flee
Causing my spirit to withdraw.

Even if it did exist
Even if it truly existed.

In the first place
Initially.

Having lost it in this endless race
Misplaced it in a never-ending competition.

Through this maze
Across this perplexing journey.

Cynicism aside
Setting skepticism to the side.

The views that I possess
The perspectives that I hold.

While distressed
Although distraught.

From being stressed in this mess
From being anxious in this chaos.

My quest is manifest
My journey is evident.

In the question being asked
In the inquiry that is being posed.

See no answers in my life time
Do not anticipate discovering solutions in my lifetime.

Having passed my prime
Beyond my prime years.

I only believe
I solely have confidence in.

Concrete things that I see
Tangible objects that I experience.

And seeing all this I see
And perceiving all this, I see.

The answers inside of me
The solutions that lie within me.

And I know these answers
And I am aware of these solutions.

That I always seek
That I always pursue.

Are inside myself
Are within me.

That is what I believe
That is my conviction.

That it's in me
That it exists within me.

It's in me
It exists within me.

Believe me
Trust me.

Foiled by perception
Hindered by the way I view things.

I ask the wrong question
I am asking the incorrect inquiry.

The quest that I mention
The journey that I am discussing.

Does not ease the tension
Does not alleviate the pressure.

That builds up inside
That accumulates in my inner being.

Part from prying eyes
Away from curious observers.

My face a disguise
My visage is a mask.

A facade of lies
A false front of untruths.

And maybe thats grossly
And possibly that is hugely.

And clearly unclear
And distinctly indistinct.

But I can't resist
But I am unable to disregard.

The sweet taste of dispair
The pleasant sensation of hopelessness.

The air that I breath
The atmosphere that I inhale.

Steams with anger and rage
Is filled with fury and indignation.

How else does one act
What other manner is there to behave.

When one's thrown in a cage
When one is trapped in an enclosure.

Can't question authority
Unable to inquire about those in power.

Can't challenge the quo
Incapable of disputing the status quo.

A second class citizen
A person of lesser importance.

My state I abhor
I despise my condition.

Then fight my own war
Then wage my own battle.

Inside my own domain
Within my own realm.

What for? is the question
What is the purpose is the inquiry.

What for I remain
What is the reason for my persistence.

It pains to look outside
It hurts to look beyond myself.

Makes me go looking for the signs
Compels me to search for indications.

I see the answers inside
I perceive the solutions within me.

On the other side I can't decide
On the opposite side, I am unable to choose.

The riches, the power
The wealth, the authority.

The selfishness, greed
The self-centeredness, the covetousness.

I watch in dispair
I observe with hopelessness.

As I adopt this creed
As I accept this belief system.

Fly high
Soar upwards.

Above the motherfucking sky
Higher than the sky.

Let's fly high
Let's soar upwards.

Let's go there
Let's journey there.

Let's motherfuckers go there
Let us go there, my friends.

Let's go there, let's go through my soul
Let us journey there and explore my spirit.

Through my mind
Exploring through my thoughts.

They keep on pushing me down
They continue to degrade me.

But I still rise
But I still ascend.

I fly above all the bullshit
I ascend beyond all the folly.

Since I got wiser
Because I became more intelligent.

I don't seek answers
I no longer search for solutions.

In a place out of me
In external sources.

I gotta believe
I must have faith.

That's it's inside of me
That the solution is within me.

They keep on pushing me down
They continue to degrade me.

But I still rise
But I still ascend.

I fly above all the bullshit
I ascend beyond all the folly.

Since I got wiser
Because I became more intelligent.

I don't seek answers
I no longer search for solutions.

In a place out of me
In external sources.

I gotta believe
I must have faith.

That's it's inside of me
That the solution is within me.

They keep on pushing me down
They continue to degrade me.

But I still rise
But I still ascend.

I fly above all the bullshit
I ascend beyond all the folly.

Since I got wiser
Because I became more intelligent.

I don't seek answers
I no longer search for solutions.

In a place out of me
In external sources.

I gotta believe
I must have faith.

That's it's inside of me
That the solution is within me.
