Sold Before Was Born
Unveiling Life's Predetermined Script: Sold Before Born
Lyrics
I was sold before was born
The speaker feels predetermined or constrained by circumstances before their birth.
Never had a chance to speak a single word
Expressing a lack of opportunity to communicate or make choices.
They've just put me in that box
The speaker perceives being confined or labeled by others.
All the roads I'll ever walk
Alluding to a predetermined life journey, with limited options.
Every man I talk
Interactions with others seem predictable or scripted.
Is formulaic
Describing people as conforming to a standard pattern.
I was sold before was born
Reiteration of feeling constrained or predetermined from birth.
No one asked me if I chose the things I know
No autonomy in choosing one's knowledge or experiences.
And my colour tinge my soul
Identity influenced by external factors like skin color.
Told me clearly who's to hate
Being taught who to hate and where to find grace.
Where to seek the grace
Guidance on the right path is predetermined and fixed.
It's formulaic
Highlighting a sense of predictability in life choices.
I'm cut above
Feeling superior or above others in some aspect.
Whoever should depart
Ready to confront or challenge anyone who leaves or departs.
Whatever I must tear apart
Willingness to dismantle or destroy whatever stands in the way.
Flay
Use of the word "Flay" suggests a desire to strip away layers.
Run away
Desire to escape from situations or relationships.
Whenever I may break
Prepared to break free from constraints at any moment.
Whatever I am forced to take
Willingness to accept challenges or burdens imposed by others.
We were sold before were born
Expanding the theme of predetermination to a collective "we."
If you ask the books then what you think they show
Skepticism about the information provided in books.
You're just further in a row
Suggesting a sense of being part of a predetermined sequence.
Always first to make your path
Being the first to carve out one's own path, but it's predetermined.
Predecessors laugh
Previous generations find amusement in the struggles of the current one.
So we keep tryin'
Persisting despite the challenges.
We were sold before were born
Reiteration of being sold or predetermined before birth.
We were thought what's right and wrong and where to go
Being taught societal norms about right and wrong, and direction.
They still say but is that so
Questioning the validity of the teachings received.
Mindless crows keep telling me
People mindlessly repeat advice, hindering individual thought.
Dream but never see
Encouraging dreams but emphasizing the difficulty of realization.
So we keep lying
Persisting in falsehoods due to societal pressures.
I'm cut above
Repetition of feeling above others, ready to confront departures.
Whoever should depart
Continuation of the readiness to tear apart whoever departs.
Whoever I must tear apart
Reiteration of the willingness to dismantle obstacles.
Flay
Use of "Flay" as a strong expression of tearing down barriers.
Run away
Repeating the theme of running away from challenges.
Whenever I may break
Readiness to break free whenever necessary.
Whatever I am forced to take
Acceptance of forced circumstances or impositions.
I'm cut above
Reiteration of feeling superior, willing to confront departures.
Whoever should depart
Continuation of the readiness to tear apart whoever departs.
Whoever I must tear apart
Reiteration of the willingness to dismantle obstacles.
Flay
Use of "Flay" as a strong expression of tearing down barriers.
Run away
Repeating the theme of running away from challenges.
Whenever I may break
Readiness to break free whenever necessary.
Whatever I am forced to take
Acceptance of forced circumstances or impositions.
