[Intro: Prince Po and O.C.]

Prince Po: Hallelujah! Inhale the air while it lasts. We’re here to be studied. Slaves we’ve been—hell, we still are. We own nothing, we fight for nonsense. It’s all science fiction. Dreams in excess equals positive objectives. Bronx streets, poisoned humans, polluted minds, distortion

O.C.: Life, death, man, woman, and child. Yeah. Planet Earth, all these things. Listen


[Verse 1: O.C.]

My mind is

Grand like endless sand, warning off

The C-4 defeats the flam. For some strange

Reas’, I seize my outcome sort of like

Fate was foresaw by Malcolm. The stage is

My panel, the crowd are my disciples—they control

My music and its lifecycle. Friends hard

To come by, they’re shady when I strut. Fools stand

Back, waiting, laying in the cut, hate but

Smiling, spiting my life. Talking, she be

Evil, looking sharp as a knife. From dawn

To dusk, my ass I bust, limit

My cuss, in God I trust, flush bad

Memories, smash thoughts of enemies, focus on

Solutions, come up with remedies. Infinite

Thought supports me throughout so. So much more

To say, but this is the outro (This is the outro)


[Outro: Prince Po]

We all perish one day, we suffer until the end. Who gets the happiness? How do we find it? Why do we keep up the habit? Why do we continue? Where is the break end? Can we be cleansed mentally? Help us, endure us. Pollution clutters the black woman’s mind, we’re all ghetto-struck. Sabotage!
