| God bless our corrupted minds
|
| For trying to fuck with rhymes
|
| We probably should’ve stuck with crimes
|
| Crowds are hating on me
|
| Fans are rating on me
|
| Alcohol got me stumbling around like a waking zombie
|
| Dragging myself out of the grave
|
| To show these young-bloods how to behave
|
| The cycle’s counting the days
|
| Every LP is a resurrection
|
| Stagnating
|
| Waiting for fresh direction
|
| In the east of the city
|
| Peep the situation
|
| We’ve got dreams
|
| But no means of facilitation
|
| A grand vision of autonomy
|
| The reason why a drug dealer exploits the black-market economy
|
| And everybody want an 'MTV crib'
|
| Trying to figure where the WMDs hit
|
| You gots to chill
|
| Like EPMD did
|
| Wifey wiling out on some PMT-shit
|
| The rent’s late
|
| I see a few of these dudes as dead weight
|
| A leader in need of head space
|
| I blaze the Peng-grade
|
| The pen stays poised
|
| My ink-flow's poisoned to keep me employed
|
| I’m eating off sixteen bars
|
| Used to be nine
|
| Double-jointed
|
| Blazing two zoots at a time
|
| Losing my mind
|
| Finding my feet
|
| Explaining to bre’ers:
|
| I’ve got to get paid to rhyme on the beat
|
| I’m trying to eat
|
| Love don’t pay the bills
|
| They say: «Jehst got crazy skills!»
|
| But the stress is going to make me ill!
|
| I’ve been badly advised
|
| So I trust no one
|
| Except my family-ties
|
| I’ve head it with lies and Geminis
|
| It’s all over, man
|
| Snakes in the grass
|
| I’m the lawn-mower man
|
| The green-fingered
|
| Black-hearted
|
| Corporate whore
|
| There’s no such thing as a rap artist
|
| It’s all bullshit
|
| White boys blacking up
|
| Modern Al Johnson
|
| B-Boys cracking up like:
|
| «This can’t be my beautiful culture!»
|
| Chasing the mirage of food for the vulture
|
| That’s circling over
|
| You’ll never escape your fate
|
| In this Orwellian state
|
| It’s got schoolboys peddling weight
|
| Pop-pop leave you dead in your gates
|
| It’s the same throughout many estates
|
| The melody makes the pain numb
|
| Soldiers back from Iraq selling firearms fresh of the plane bun
|
| It’s plain dumb
|
| How an Iraqi and a kid from Hackney can be killed by the same gun
|
| So when you put my tape into your deck
|
| Think about Columbine and Virginia Tech
|
| Martial law is still in effect
|
| A society, pushed to the brink, to the limit, the edge!
|
| Who’s held accountable for civilian deaths?
|
| Everytime a politician want to big-up his chest
|
| It’s all economics
|
| The arms-trade generates dollars
|
| And dictators don’t educate scholars
|
| It’s trick-knowledge
|
| We no longer celebrate honour
|
| When men are dying, we stay quiet
|
| And pray we don’t face the same horror
|
| At the hands of their descendants
|
| Thinking it’s the price of our independence
|
| All eyes on the future
|
| While soldiers in Fallujah
|
| Control by remote-viewer
|
| OK Computer? |
