| I arrived at the scene of the crime and met with my committee
|
| There was a thousand mile chalk line drawn around the whole city
|
| It seemed like I would get the word before the world had heard it
|
| I asked somebody what had happened? |
| He said Realness had been murdered
|
| I said damn, damn, damn, like Florida
|
| Then I turned and asked the coroner
|
| What type of horrible person would go to war with her?
|
| Sweet, innocent, quality like Realness
|
| He paused and then revealed that… it coulda been killed by collective mental
|
| illness
|
| He said Realness had been missing for years before it passed
|
| Now that I think about it, it had been awhile since I saw it last
|
| Do y’all have any suspects in mind?
|
| He said we will once detectives find a timeline or a sign that connects to the
|
| crime
|
| See since the dawn of time, this statement is a fact
|
| That it suffered when men carried out any artificial act
|
| And anytime somebody faked off a misrepresentative statement
|
| That flagrant hatred went straight to the heart of real and forsakes it
|
| (Chorus) Ashlei Mayadia
|
| Who killed Realness is what we ask?
|
| Searched all over to find out facts
|
| I can’t remember where I seen it last, damn
|
| Nobody stepped up and took the blame
|
| Asked for a witness but no one came
|
| Since it been gon' life just ain’t the same, damn
|
| Now I searched around checking every dark location known
|
| I couldn’t wait; |
| I had to do an investigation of my own
|
| I moved hurriedly, the lack of concerns started to worry me
|
| I found every lowlife I knew and interrogated 'em thoroughly
|
| I was like where were you when Realness died; |
| my mind was on the resting
|
| After days I realized that there were too many people to question
|
| I was baffled, so I knew I had to break it down a bit
|
| If I can only figure out the last person that it was with
|
| I met an old lady who told me she can help me with my search
|
| She said she saw Realness debating with a Pastor after Church
|
| Then she saw her leaving a motel with a woman who had a pistol
|
| Later that night it was on TV sitting in DC with a government official
|
| Apparently it showed up uninvited and a riot was incited
|
| The next day I found out I was being indicted
|
| I couldn’t understand what the summon was about
|
| But I guess on my court date I’ll get a chance to find out
|
| (Chorus) Ashlei Mayadia
|
| When I got to court, the prosecution mentioned the life sentence
|
| It was the first trial in history with five million defendants
|
| To be convicted of murder, the whole public was subject
|
| We was all guilty of it, even the judge who judged it
|
| A thought came to me that day, is it insane for me to say
|
| That a metaphysical quality can contain a DNA?
|
| If not explain to me the way?
|
| A whole population can dangerously display the same hate and simultaneously
|
| decay
|
| Then a voice echoed through the wind and made the crowd react
|
| It was a child; |
| he said is there a way to bring back the Realness back?
|
| What if everybody stopped lying and cheating and deceiving?
|
| Started being honest even, maybe that would end the grieving
|
| All at once a lot of chattering and bumping heads begun
|
| Someone said it sounds good son, but it’s easier said then done
|
| The child said Realness was killed but it was you who killed 'em
|
| But it will rise like Lazarus again inside the children
|
| (Chorus) Ashlei Mayadia |
