Malevolent Universe - Rucka Rucka Ali

If I could speak to everybody in the world, I wouldn’t

Not a single fuckin' soul would deserve to have heard it

They couldn’t even grasp what I’m handing them

It’s like there’s so many blank stares I could bare in one life

If I could feed all the people of the world in need

I wouldn’t even stop eating for them to stop bleeding

I feel better every second I hurt you

In a world where suffering is seen as a virtue

I’m falling apart

Every day is the same

Everybody’s a stranger

I’m basting in anger

It’s the same shit

Each day is over before it started

Walking around every party, is everybody just fuckin' retarded?

Somewhere far off in a numenal world

Every girl I ever wanted takes the form that I thought of

When I saw her standing tall, lookin' gorgeous in the corner

Right before she would fuck it up, shattering my dreams

Cause the image that I saw is just what she could have been

Listen to me, why don’t you want me?

Huh?

You think I’m ugly?

Do I bore you or something?

Cause I’ve come a pretty fuckin' long way to be here

And to make myself available, to hell with you

Wait, no, I’ll tell you what you are

The reason I’m breathing

You’re why I started singing

Burning every bridge beneath me

Do I make this shit look easy?

(It is)

I’ll build the tallest monument

To someone I could have loved

And tear the fuckin' sky apart

To show you that I’m good enough

You’re the music I discovered as a kid

I was told not to listen to the music but I did

And I heard the sounds of Athens, calling through the centuries

A ripple from the past, things Aristotle said to me

In writings that were buried, leaving the world in darkness

Til his words surfaced, unearthed by Aquinas

In writings that were buried, leaving the world in darkness

Til his words surfaced, unearthed by Aquinas

You know that song I wrote for you?

Bet you never knew it was for you

That song that lit up the planet in laughter

Not after it made me a fortune

I guess I thought then…

If I wrote the perfect song you might notice me

Might know you made the wrong choice

When you chose him over me

Guess that’s what I get

Letting someone close to me
