The Eyes Have It |
The eyes have it, once again it’s your people |
Yeah — life is goin by fast, I try to grab it |
Can I get an eye? |
(EYE!) The eyes have it |
The eyes have it, once again it’s your people |
I heard the meek shall inherit the earth |
I heard those that don’t speak up inherit the worst |
I heard the rich get the treasures and the right to write history |
I heard the poor get buried in dirt |
I tell people play to win so they’re scared of my verse |
People scared of their power, people scared of their worth |
People scared of success, people barely alert |
People scared to get hurt, or embarassed to work |
I been a… security guard at Guitar Center |
A food service worker and a telemarketer |
Dreamin 'bout goin to Otis-Parsons or |
Maybe CalArts or even the Arts Center |
But music was my passion, part of my callin to |
Hustle year 'round, spring summer fall winter |
Will stop for nothin, you shouldn’t start with us |
For the people, by the Dilated Peoples, hard hitters |
Life is goin by fast, I try to grab it |
Can I get an eye? |
(The eyes have it!) |
There are exceptions, people use their ties |
Without the eyes, only way to win is lies |
And some keep you under false pretense |
And any half-truths fall under this roof |
You gotta watch for these types (watch) they be plottin |
Subliminally waitin for you to get gotten |
From Lost Angels to the rotten Apple (L.A.) |
Some get lost or caught by the shrapnel (N.Y.) |
Shoot your mouth off, cause richochets, watch for that |
You never ready when the city fired back |
Never ready for a hard day’s night |
And at home life ain’t right so they dreamin 'bout a flight |
A getaway to divert the day’s traffic |
But life is right here goin fast you better grab it |
The eyes have it, once again it’s your people |
Y’all know my get down, my day to day |
You can’t spell Dilate without L.A. (all day) |
Majority rules, some are outnumbered |
It’s a jungle out there, sometimes it makes me wonder |
Why there’s so many rats chasin the cheese |
Cats facin disease, cats facin police |
People bendin the rules, just playin to eat |
Kinda like connect the dots every day on the street |
