[Verse 1]

Listen

I got a passion for spitting

Smashing the competition

Vocals the logo for the back-to-back world champion Pistons

Undebatable

Flesh is biodegradable

People ego deflatable

See no evil and play the role?

I'm Peter Gabriel

With a sledgehammer

Red handed

Bled stanzas

Set standards

Dedicated to Dilla, Proof, Abel Meeropol, Fannie Lou Hamer, Marlon Riggs

Nina, and Fred Hampton

There goes the neighborhood like

Fred Sanford next door to Ned Flanders

These cats pop off at the mouth like Orville Redenbacher

My lyrics open up the portal to your seven chakras

Helicopters circling

Watch the exchange of Betty Crocker

Soap operas inventing drama

Prevent it

Remember Nakba

SMASH various barriers

Bury us under road blocks

You don't get it. Get it yet? Do you?

The struggle don't stop

It don't quit

Worldwide winning with style like Globetrotters

Don't try this at home

If you stuck in time with broke watches


[Hook]

SMASH the walls of hate

End it for the next descendants

Watching em fall from grace

Repping for the independents

Futuristic sound

You just missed it now

Present with the essence

To evolve, put it all at stake

(You don't pay attention man)

That's why your power is the size of your attention span

Dilla said it best: (You don't pay attention man)

That's why your respect's the size of your attention span


[Verse 2]

Its fresh air when I'm speaking to y'all

Sometimes it falls upon deaf ears like I'm speaking to walls

I ain't preaching to y'all

Breaking cycles of violence

Not repeating they flaws

Open up your memory bank

I got the key to the vault

Serving the antidote to Alzheimer's

Delete and install

Ginkgo biloba think it over

We the leaders we've all been waiting for

Believe it

Heed the call

Breathe it

Keeping involved

These lyrics heat seekers

Deplete tweeters til the speakers dissolve

"Each generation must find its mission, fulfill or betray it."

I know that ours is more than just being killers or players

Or making millions of papers

Our blood is spilling

They hate us

Too much injustice among us to sit still n complacent


[Hook]
