Telescopes - Intellectual

[Chorus: Reks]

Why you wanna roll them Dice?

Don't you wanna see what Hope brings?

Careful before you wReck your life

See through my, telescope eyes

I can see the future, I

I can see the future

When a change gon' come?

I'd like to share with your telescopes

[Verse 1: Reks]

Peace to my niggas livin' oh so hood

Rest in peace too early cause they know no good

I know shit ain't democratic in our demographic

The wars on outside, the streets tragic

Street's average, about a, kill in a minute

Don't need to see overseas death, we livin' in it

In tenement climates, violence or business

Jails higher the death tolls, cops hire to witness

Reason why so many kids is gettin' buried

They all carry same heat cops on beats carry

We don't need momma worried

Shit ain't necessary

We need new leaders, modern revolutionary

The revolution televised, should we be surprised?

Rather watch Flavor Of Love than realize

Pre-Armageddon happenin' right before our eyes

Technology disconnect me from outside

[Hook] [Reks]

Why you wanna roll them Dice?

Don't you wanna see what Hope brings?

Careful before you wReck your life

See through my, telescope eyes

I can see the future, I

I can see the future

When a change gon' come?

I'd like to share with your telescopes

[Verse 2: John Hope]

I wipe the sweat off my dome, spit my phlegm on the beat

In the street

They fight cold wars with heat

Believe, the more drama, the more karma

It's not a myth, I was Hope before Obama

With the visions of a world where we educate the careless

I never lift weights but I raise awareness

I'm strong, my third eye see my first born quiver

Math class, harass when he first hear, "Nigga"

I said, "It's not the first nor the last"

But bored in class, use your brain like a shotgun blast

And the impact will keep 'em intact when they provokin' 'em

I know it's in arms reach, society Utopian

Now how you like them apples, pears and oranges?

You didn't think that this nigga here from Providence could change the world

As I stand in the session

I'm not poor but I beg the questions

So answer

[Chorus: Reks]

Why you wanna roll them Dice?

Don't you wanna see what Hope brings?

Careful before you wReck your life

See through my, telescope eyes

I can see the future, I

I can see the future

When a change gon' come?

I'd like to share with your telescopes

[Verse 3: Lucky Dice]

I can see through my telescope to right where you are

Hey, hey, hey you're a super superstar

Maybe if you believe that you are

Then you'll find that you'll go far

But you're young and you still wanna bug out

20 years later you'll find yourself strung out

'Cause you made them bad choices

Them bad choices, they was just bad habits

Truthfully you could be the illest if you wanted to, that's my witness

But it's a future where nobody listens and so it stays distant

Gone and forgotten, but it could be different

To find a way to them brighter days

Use your mind it'll light the way

That's what I like to say

Too many youngins out there dyin' on a righteous day

Just tryna get their money right

[Chorus: Reks]

Why you wanna roll them Dice?

Don't you wanna see what Hope brings?

Careful before you wReck your life

See through my, telescope eyes

I can see the future, I

I can see the future

When a change gon' come?

I'd like to share with your telescopes
