Only Slaves D.R.E.A.M.

Do you think that the powers that be\nAre goin' to let you do what you want to do for eternity?\nOf course you don’t, so what do you fear?\nWhy you spazzin' out, why you so scared?\nEverybody wanna be first\nNobody wants to be last\nDo you think a God that created this would watch all of us die while others\njust laugh?\nWhat happens when the money system crash?\nAnd there’s no more value in the cash?\nYou gon' suck dick and sell ass?\nYou gon' try to fight back with ya hands?\nYou probably change your money into gold\nYou gon' use that to try and buy soul\nBuy some drugs with it, buy a piece of hole\nDon’t tell me, I don’t wanna know\nYou need to come up with a better plan\nThe Devil smash metal weapons like glass\nRight now we out-matched and outclassed\nWe have to stay on a spiritual path\nCause in the absence of love, we blastin' one another with blood\nMedia shows up to capture the buzz\nI’m a child of God, not a rapper from the gutter\nI’m six of one and half a dozen of the other\nThis is not one of those «I told you so» moments\nThis is just Canibus being open\nLower egoic minds brush aside\nBut can’t nullify the high science that is coming from the rhymes\nI couldn’t believe it the day that I was told\nThat every person alive does not have a soul\nAnd is not in control of these cotton pickin' polls\nPoliticians declare the war of attrition on the globe\nAnd stole all the fishin' holes, Grandma got the chitlins on the stove\nThat’ll overload the senses in your nose\nYoung folk can’t even afford to get old\nHow many YouTube views before you go gold?\nHow many albums last week you sold? How many leaked downloads?\nOh, you still believe the Soundscan, bro?\nDon’t be discouraged, write and produce and record and you love it\nThis is your art, and that’s the point of it\nWhen you get paid from it, things change, people behave stubborn\nAnd say rude things to judge it\nThey want you to thug it, so they can have you like a test subject\nHandcuffed and take mug shots of it\nI told you before, I’m nobody’s spit puppet\nI say what I want, you take what you want from it\nThis is a social experiment put on by the public\nHip-hop is completely corrupted\nYou ain’t rappin' 'bout that, you ain’t rappin' 'bout nothin'\nI ain’t never gon' starve, I been white tail huntin'\nYa’ll motherfuckers is buggin', speakin' with no substance\nHip-hop's the way it is because of you cousin\nIt ain’t my fault, you locked me out of it\n99 percent of my fans ain’t nothin'\nBut scumbag, scum buckets, blood suckin', cock fuckers\nMy lyrics too advanced for the average block hustler\nYou know my name, I’m deeply inspired\nOn a mountain lion meat diet, eat and be quiet\nRecycle the fire and deep fry it\nThat line is hot, but you said it before, you get a C minus\nMy shit is timeless like the Great Wall of China\nSick in the biggest way like a dinosaur virus\nSpreadin' through Verizon Wireless\nHomeland Security’s tryin' it, just to see if you lyin', Bis\nThey step to me, never thought it would happen like this\nYou a flight risk, we need that microphone back, Bis\nDiversionary tactics, Magik madness\nCanibus, you can’t leave this miserable prison planet, God damnit\nWe don’t care what your fans think\nCause 99 percent of all of this don’t exist\nThe observer changes the properties of the observed\nThis is done with your mind, not with your words\nWord? Yeah, I’m about to show you nerds\nYou bookworms really startin' to get on my nerves\nI can’t talk like you, but I can understand you\nI know what this entire ordeal can expand to\nI love hip-hop, I’ve always been a fan too\nI’m a big fan of everything you do\nI appreciate the purchases, the online searches\nI hope you enjoy the verses, it was great to be of service\nThis was always my purpose\nI’m always workin' to be a better person everyday\nAnd still growin' like the Earth is\nPeace to the Gods and the Earths, kid
