[Intro]


[Verse 1]

Hey yo

Truth whirlwinds

They crash deception parties

Thoughts is on time

But the actions are tardy

The beast molds your mind

Makes you think that he's godly

This world is filled with victims

And no one is saying sorry

I’m with revolutionaries

And insightful minds

These poets and painters

Who's far ahead of their time

According to their laws

We live a life of crime

But what's right for Babylon

Is never right for mine

These shots of inspiration

Taken straight with no chaser

Film in my mind

Makes a picture on paper

The cold road of life

Is like gliding down a glacier

I drive home the point

DJ Mutt push the fader

My light’s so bright

When I shine

It be blinding kids

Fuck a watch

Son I'll show you what time it is

Breath of fresh air

These words clear your sinuses

This shit's too hot

Ya can't stop from rewinding it

Break it is the style

My man don't see dance(?)

Your whole style get cut short

Like capri pants

Peace propaganda

That's what we chant

Don't burn your brother man

Burn the green plant

Right?


[Verse 2]

Hey yo

An indecision

Is splitting my world

Should I take this blue pill

And just follow the girl?

Or should I try to stand still

As my universe twirls

A straight and narrow path

Must eventually curl

They keep showing me the bible

But they hiding the pearls

Man this pain chips my heart

Into cold and smaller pieces

Add an anti

To my original thesis

What was once a reflection

Of my true love for Jesus

Has me battling the matador

And exposing his weakness

I reclaim the culture

That the wicked man stole

My mental jewels can't compare

To their platinum and gold

Melody makers and dreamers

No longer have control

Jam the metaphor machete

Deep into corporate soul

I’m hoping that the ink

Will help balance out insanity

Mind bending drips

That negotiate reality

College kids at parties

Drinking liquid personality

Man I’m speaking my mind

I don't give a damn if you’re mad at me

Persist with attacks

But I'll never retreat

My mind's a rhythm

Shit I even walk to a beat

I talk to a beat

Articulate my thoughts

Through a beat

There ain't no sense in

Starting with me


[Verse 3]

Yo

Four walls and a roof

Give you plenty of time to wonder

So deep we seem to plunder

They take away our names

And replace it with a number

Under – pressure

I choose to leave the melting pot

Magic hidden spirit

Didn’t really seem to help a lot

I felt a spot

Crumble so I jetted

Before it swallowed I

Try to fill it back up

Continue feeling hollow

I – wallow among the ghosts

I still have to travel to

The convenience store

I figured out just who the spot

Was more convenient for

Not me or my brethren

Rather it's the power

To abuse us

They fill the store with goodies

To distract us and amuse us

It blew us

Out of the fucking frame

And nearly killed us

Gather our belongings

In a weak attempt to build up

Replenish, restore or –

Whatever it is

But in the land of hollow schools

Streets are packed with veteran kids

The wetter it is the better it is

For the opposite of me

I'm trying to climb up on the wave

But they ain't stopping it for me

We sit and pass the bass(?)

And watch the surfers pass by

Already know the answer

We ask why (why)

Fuck trying to catch the wave

And begging for restitution

We'll seek to Atlantis and start over

(Why?)

Because that's the best solution
