Seein’ Thangs - Intellectual

[Intro: David Banner]

Yeah

DJ Shadow up in this motherfucker

David Banner

Shawty, you got some nuts for this one, baby

I swear that I'm seein' something

I can swear that I'm seeing (Yeah)

I swear that I'm seein' something

I can swear that I'm seeing (Yeah)

Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1: David Banner]

I hear voices whisper tell me, "Banner, kill yourself"

Man I call on the Lord, pain doesn't ease from wealth

These cars, these clothes, these hoes never meant nothin'

Havin' nightmares screamin' and bustin' at my enemy

I put a bullet in that nigga and I see it's me

Is it my soul killing self-hate

Or does that nigga in me have to die before I reach them pearly gates

Either way I got somethin' to say

Jam Master Jay used to yell "Walk this way"

But it's hard to walk like a man, the industry's gay

And these the same motherfuckers that's controlin' my cash

And the same ones, the government, controllin' yo ass

Why George Bush ain't in jail for stealin' them votes?

Why the CIA ain't closed, man, for pushin' that dope?

Get it crackin' America, the CIA, aka the KKK

It's judgement day!

[Hook: David Banner]

Seein', seein' thangs, I can swear that I'm seein' thangs

They comin' for ya soul, they already got the chains

Seein', seein' thangs, I can swear that I'm seein' thangs (yeah)

Seein', seein' thangs, I can swear that I'm seein' (yeah)

Seein', seein' thangs, I can swear that I'm seein' thangs (yeah)

They comin' for ya soul, they already got the chains

[Bridge: Samples]

There's no support here, there's no foundation

There's no Plan B, Plan A

These people are very desperate

Hello babe, we need to get outta here

[Verse 2: David Banner]

In a Chevy, I'm wondering if the Feds broke the levee

Are they in with the devil to control the weather?

Hurricanes and typhoons every other week

While po' folks are drowning in the middle of the street

We too scared to speak, or too busy on the internet

I heard they about to put LoJacks in our kids' necks

Martial law, tell Bush, "Naw, we ain't ready to flip"

The 'hood is like a modern slave ship

We packed like sardines and shackled to the streets

And crack is cotton that grows up from the concrete

Shit, but I guess I'm seein' thangs

We'd rather not learn, we'd rather fuckin' gang bang

[Hook: David Banner]

Seein', seein' thangs, I can swear that I'm seein' thangs

Seein', seein' thangs, I can swear that I'm seein'

Seein', seein' thangs, I can swear that I'm seein' thangs

They comin' for ya soul, they already got the chains

Seein', seein' thangs, I can swear that I'm seein' thangs (yeah)

They comin' for ya soul, they already got the chains (yeah)

Seein', seein' thangs, I can swear that I'm seein' thangs (yeah)

Seein', seein' thangs, I can swear that I'm seein' (yeah)

Seein', seein' thangs, I can swear that I'm seein' thangs (yeah)

They comin' for ya soul, they already got the chains (yeah)

[Outro: David Banner]

Seein' seein', what am I seein'?
