Lyrics
I grew up in a world that taught me
I was raised in a world that emphasized survival of the fittest.
Only the strong survive
To stay alive, focus on your own interests and well-being.
To be alive look out for number one
Prioritize yourself; those who succeed put themselves first.
Who won, everyone who stands in favor of this world
Winners are those who support the values of this world.
Don't cry, be strong
Don't show vulnerability; strength is important.
Weakness is for fools
Weakness is seen as foolish; be resilient and tough.
Who's wrong those who care
Those who care are considered wrong or misguided.
Who can't bare the sign of blood
Aversion to the sight of blood is a sign of weakness.
Stand up-n-go to school learn to rule Money is your tool
Education is about learning to control and use money.
To satisfy your hunger you gotta grow With the status quo
To satisfy your needs, conform to societal norms.
If you wanna have more and more
If you desire more, trust those who have lost their integrity.
Leave it in the hands that loose their souls
Place your trust in those who have compromised their principles.
Don't think, don't look at what you're leaving behind
Don't reflect on what you're leaving behind; focus on the present.
Ignore your moral compass-n-go with the flow
Ignore your moral compass and go along with the prevailing trends.
Don't cry, be strong
Reiterates the idea of not showing weakness; stay strong.
Weakness is for fools
Weakness is still viewed as foolish; resilience is important.
Who's wrong those who care
Those who care are considered wrong or misguided.
Who can't bare the sign of blood
Aversion to the sight of blood is a sign of weakness.
Wake up do you know who you are
Asks the listener to wake up and question their identity.
Don't you long for the days you were free
Reflect on the days when you felt free and unburdened.
Empty mind you could hear your breath
An empty mind symbolizes a time of simplicity and clarity.
Felt so alive with the world to fight
Feeling alive when faced with challenges in the world.
You heard of the one who knelt down to wash your feet
References a selfless act of humility and sacrifice.
Gave his life so you could live, open your door for he will seek
Encourages opening oneself to those in need.
Blood that turned white cause he took sin upon himself
Symbolizes the sacrifice of blood to cleanse from sin.
But you can't follow two gods for you will hate one and love the other
Warns against conflicting loyalties, especially to conflicting gods.
