"The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple."
Psalm 119:130
I must be deaf 2 the tragedies
& blind 2 the casualties
Conditioned to be confused I need a moment of Clarity
cuz.. This life I'm livin' is full of these contradictions
Like Rappers say they the shit.. & barely have pots 2 piss in
Not 2 mention, higher I get, the lower they drop the ceilin
but they can't box me in, I air it out like Pavilions.
Thought I interned in construction,
Came from that project buildin-
In the concrete jungle you must adapt like chameleons.
Where gorillas holdin K's banana clips get 2 peelin'
Promise I'm not slowin up til I get my mama a million!
No need to worry I got ya, now u can live in PEACE
I found my CENTER then POWER FORWARD like Willis Reed-
Indeed.
Just be yaself always remember G,
The 2nd Law of Power "Learn to Use your Enemies"
These niggas aint thugs u need hugs since you holdin back
Check the #'s, If you can't call it then you know its Fax (Facts)
[Chorus] (Erykah Badu)
Time 2 save the world, where in the world is all the time?
So many things I need to know,
So many times to change my mind
Guess I was born to make mistakes..
But I aint scared to break away
So when I start to fall off the path,
I Know my heart will guide me back
This is PREMEDITATED MURDER ENCHANTED by
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
BEFORE I'M GONE i'll BLOW UP HIGHER, 9-11 flights
(Cole)
That's TOO DEEP 4 THE INTRO so GET BACK TO THE TOPIC
2 FACE, LOOKIN FOR TROUBLE muthafucka YOU GOT IT
(Cole)
I hit it IN THE MORNIN & left THE AUTOGRAPH.
LOVE ME NOT, the decision COST ME A LOT
Almost lost a BEST FRIEND when she went
HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS-
FAREWELL, she Dame Dash 2 the Roc-
SEE WORLD,
When you Watch, its not time that does the changin.
Things could be so simple but people, we complicate em
Temptation, from the devil
our level of thinkin is basic.
She rather swallow my kids than be a woman and raise em
& Im no better, my pride got me 2 chase it,
Grew impatient w/ Mrs. Right & start 2 look 4 replacements.
Moral of the story, (whether) your in the attic or basement-
Value your treasure or someone else will appraise it.
The balance of your heart & mind
is truly rare & hard 2 find.
Im strugglin trynna talk 2 God
but seem like all my calls decline.
When my homies pickin up, thas when I be gettin stuck,
the same people who CURE us
are the reason the system's Corrupt!
Black on Black murder,
Chicago, it happens all the time
We hate each other, White folks kill us, then we FALL in line
They say only strong survive,
thas why we resort to crime.
Been off since 7, Never ate (8) & so he sparked his 9.
Simple mathematics will tell u that by 25,
we either infected by AIDS or dead by homocide.
60 minutes on the clock we gotta fight 4 ours (hours)
My homie shootin bricks w/ them rockets-
Thas Dwight Howard
I'm watchin him from the sidelines of the dope game
cuz I was trynna blow, but not w/ cocaine.
From cul-de-sac 2 cul-de-sac w/ the coldest raps
check the #'s if you can't call it you KNOW its FACTS (Fax)
[Erykah Badu]
ouuu Heyyy,
I'm trying 2 decide
Which way to go..
Think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere.. x2
