Perception (from the Latin perceptio, percipio) is the organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information in order to fabricate a mental representation through the process of transduction, which sensors in the body transform signals from the environment into encoded neural signals. All perception involves signals in the nervous system, which in turn result from physical stimulation of the sense organs. For example, vision involves light striking the retinas of the eyes, smell is mediated by odor molecules and hearing involves pressure waves. Perception is not the passive receipt of these signals, but can be shaped by learning, memory and expectation. Perception involves these "top-down" effects as well as the "bottom-up" process of processing sensory input. The "bottom-up" processing is basically low-level information that's used to build up higher-level information (i.e. - shapes for object recognition). The "top-down" processing refers to a person's concept and expectations (knowledge) that influence perception. Perception depends on complex functions of the nervous system, but subjectively seems mostly effortless because this processing happens outside conscious awareness.

[Verse 1:]
Dumar spaceships when the money comes
Garage call it area 51
Same clothes 5 days in a row
And I been up 4 this work gotta go
Pale yellow with that creamy white
I mean ivory elephant tusk white
I'm a southside killer g-unit gorilla
New phantom ghost paid cash at the dealer
I catch stunts in the booth god dammit
Sorta like clark kent in the daily planet
10 bitches topless in my park got
Big green house pretty bitches keep trimming
Down the weed plants, fuck the food stamps
Feds don't want a war cause we shoot shit
[Chorus: x2]
Peception is everything
That's why my chain is heavy, ring is heavy
Watch with the bezzy
Perception is everything
That's why my bitch pigeon toed
Bad bitch you take on the road
[Verse 2:]
I like when the weed mature fast
A young pyt mature ass
Slide to the mansion with a jimmy pipe her down
Now she all gassed up like cypher sounds
I pour liquor on pretty dames
They wipe me down like playstation 3 games
For the love of money, not a hall for fames
Bet these cardiar transition lens help a nigga aim
Hit your brain, your legs turn to spaghetti
Your better tell your goons get they straps ready
My homies is goblins call the ghostbusters
They leave many men under white covers
Yea, el chapo
Pacifying, uneducating - what did you learn on TV today
network and media controlling the masses
feeding us lies made up to be true
by abuse use
reality can be twisted into the reality that fits us today
cause we never doubt the genvinety of the things they told us
we follow their rules as hypnotized fools
no questions asked but the answers are all given
and who sets the rule - who sets the rules
it serves us ideals fashion and prejudice
what better way to learn about life
glamorizing death but hiding the real facts
just shows the truth and its worth for us to see through their eyes
but we can see so much more then their selective subjective flow of information
we never questioned
- the integrity of their faces
- the intention behind
- the stories told to us
Suffering
All you hear
Is the voice
Prophecies of the end
Reflections
Of a clouded mind
Evolves
Serene faces bold in design
Locked insertion, rapture of time
Debasement
Defacement
Can't you see
As the dust settles
Over humanity
All that has ever been
And ever shall be
[Instrumental]
Never-ending beginning
Transcending perception
Rich sovereign peace
Summoning golden sun
I have to bid my last desire
And warm her(him) with my care
A wakening hour lays inside
Where the lost child within rests
Goodbye brothers sisters
Sleep tight and let me be
Beyond the father´s presence
Our way to eternity
For those who still remain
I leave my beloved memory
Alas there is no more to be done
The flame of life has faded in my sun
Goodnight brothers, sisters
This night my soul is free
The moon will soothe you dearly
World I am overtaken by greed
unknowingly awaits their destruction
I am the destroyer I am their savior
We are all the same avarice controls their minds so easily susceptible
Destruction fuels our minds as they destroy themselves
There is no evil in this just selection
They must fear us for survival is at stake
As we approach another race we realize the pattern is endless Self-destruction fuels the universe This will change when all order has taken place
With all things obliterated a new chapter will begin, An extreme circumstance has triggered an irreversible pattern of events,
A world thats overtaken by greed unknowingly awaits their destruction
Cold and alone, empty inside
the sad story of her petty life.
Nothing was worth fighting for.
Se seemed to live a lucid dream,
if only you could have seen,
her gliding through velvet skies with butterflies.
A young woman trapped in her own world.
Holding her breath, while she was waiting
for her pretty future to arrive.
Her eyes could not see far in the distance,
the darkness surrounding her sight.
Dreamland right in front of her,
she could not find her way.
If only her hearth would lead her,
she should find her way there.
Far away, at the end of the world
there is a dreamland waiting for you.
High above, at the edge of the world
there is a dreamland calling to you.
(Still) Cold and alone, empty inside
the sad ending of her petty life.
Nothing was worth fighting for.
Se seemed to live a lucid dream,
if only you could have seen,
her gliding through velvet skies with butterflies.
For sure, you know we came up alone
And now we've grown, I pay up, I was a straight up unknown
Now I'm blown, my name is my own way of a stone
Super gravy, dude, I'm ready for every state in my zone player
Haters atorn, you're rapping grave on my bones
Y'all can fade to black, came at me backstage of the show
Homie praying to sly me a demo and find a way in
I'm trying to find a way with myself and he violate it
I've been waiting for years, I've been sleeping in hibernation
I'm awakened, they're finally feeling my vibration
They never could find the patience, they're wasting the time escaping
Now my google find replace will consume the entire nation
I'm moving around and around and it sound confusing
And illusion it's all that the life is and there's nothing to it
I'll prove it with cubics and cone and now we've grown into a diamond
So what the fuck have you been doing, being human
They say that to see it is to believe it
If I can show it to you know that you will never leave it
So keep it a secret between us, no one can see us
I pray that one day they leave us and peace in the world free us, I need us
No matter what they see
Better know what that can be
Whatever they believe it's true
And I don't need to preach
But no matter how I scream
Nobody believes you.
No matter what they see
Better know what that can be
Whatever they believe it's true
And I don't need to preach
But no matter how I scream
Nobody believes you.
The limelight is a motherfucker, I'm staring at it back in amaze
Never get in the game, feeling like I'm trapped in a maze
All these rappers keep rapping at me, the one that been with that
You'd think that with all the attention that a nigger be happy
I am kind of sorta, sort of a different kind
The villain is killing or even ill I'm still on the grind
But I'm motivated by, the vision is in the strange
Gotta know the half of what was doing in was dang
We're doing the damn thing, screw you if you can't hang
And the rest of y'all who wanna came real in the campaign
My MC pilling them to the new millennium, killing them
Hotter than R chain is hard if I ain't swilling them
Tipping them back, digging them with a pick in the ax
It's Reggie B and Lennie D, bitches get with the track
The killer city committee, loaded clip up and clap
We body in everybody and blowing shit out the map, cause
No matter what they see
Better know what that can be
Whatever they believe it's true
And I don't need to preach
But no matter how I scream
Nobody believes you.
No matter what they see
Better know what that can be
Whatever they believe it's true
And I don't need to preach
But no matter how I scream
Nobody believes you.
Songs in the key of life and life is all perception
Believe in what you will while I keep this all connected
They checking out, I kept a Peter Parker present
They're hating the way that I'm beaming
Saying I need a darker message
The art of seduction, art of deception
Arm yourself with an weapon, at a war, karma lessing
Step inside of the ring, throwing jack shadow box
Prepare for the real, you never know that will pop now
What am I out about, at them y'all
Put me into a peer and quit to find a ladder out
No matter what they say they don't know what to say to me
No matter what they see they don't know what came to be
I'm on that R. Kelly, I believe I can fly
Pissing these people off while I master my high
I try to get the picture, the shit is out of focus,
I'm walking on the ledge and they don't even notice
They say that money is root to all the evil
I wouldn't say I agree, cause the evil lives in the people.
They say that Christ is coming, I'm waiting to see the sequel
None of us's ever free, so everybody is equal
No matter what they see
Better know what that can be
Whatever they believe it's true
And I don't need to preach
But no matter how I scream
Nobody believes you.
No matter what they see
Better know what that can be
Whatever they believe it's true
And I don't need to preach
But no matter how I scream
You can see forever
Look inside of your mind
Find a sense another wonder
Just release the fears you left behind
Feel your way through the darkness
Guide your soul into the light
Swim into the open water
Drift on the tides that you may find
Find your soul in the sunrise
Look around you can see it in their eyes
Be as one together
Rise up as the emptiness subsides
You can see forever
Rise up together
Search and you will find the answer
Years of thought trapped inside
An unstable judgement
Perception of severity
Insidious eye
Without sight
Crossing wires
Perception of severity
We are together never alone
Some other time
Place my hand unto you
Feel no shame
Hover and suffer
Over one
Lost ending soul
One reason to fall
Is to rise
Break down, break down
One false move
Everything changes
