1% - Intellectual

Some of us took the time to make a dream come true

Went far beyond a Mic check 1 2 1 2

I learned why laziness is a sin that was mentioned by God

Cause a home body ain't ever gonna make it too far

Sittin ducks, sittin stuck, all they reach is for blunts

Starin deeply at the commercials only wishin and want

Never go get! It's sad when you think of the time wasted

Literal seconds taken to the pit of the basement/

One thing about time is it can't be used twicе

So in our lifetime it's really likе you lose life

And the things you do like are bein done by someone

Had by someone, somebody else is havin yo fun

That's kinda twisted, listen, I'm the type that live with conviction

Ma determination make it certain I'm really livin

What's worst than a dream deferred?

A voice unheard, a life unlived, progress that never occurred

1% 1% 1%

Keep doin what the 1% do

99% of the world live in struggle

In the way that the 1% want us to

100% of us breathe the same air

Bleed red and we all go'n die

So what percentage are you livin yo life

The 1% ain't go'n let it go by nah

Hear a whole lotta complainin

See not a lotta doin

Technology everywhere

And y'all livin in ruins

It's funny what complacency

Can do to entire nations

They blatantly entrapped you

Said they gave you freedom in cages

That's outrageous

What's worse is all the bait bein taken

Tell you make America great

By reestablishin hatred

I see beyond the typical

And what appears to the eye

Clear as a summer sky

Yeah I hear before I reply

Learn the method behind the madness

I'm buildin my skills

Ain't nobody puttin me on

Cause who cares how I feel

My body and my soul

No one lives it but me

So my choices and actions

Carve out who I'm gonna be

(Spoken)

So you really gotta think about it

Would you rather mope and complain

That someone ain't do this and that for you and...

That's why you wasted your life
