| So easy to regurgitate the trash that they feedin ya
|
| Pervertin and distortin the truth through the mass media (uh-huh)
|
| Greedy addicts, who see me as savage
|
| Reverse psychology, I don’t swallow easily
|
| Just stay flippin through my hustler’s handbook (right)
|
| They told me follow the rules as you thrust into manhood (so)
|
| That’s why today a nigga multi-dimensional
|
| Organic, I don’t panic, I stay flexible
|
| Let’s get real deep, past the naked eye
|
| Cause that’s the first place to try to place a lie
|
| Obviously a waste of time
|
| You don’t do what you say, that breaks divine
|
| What you say is fine, but my state of mind
|
| Ain’t the kind to take a line at face value
|
| How you presented your sentences, candy-coated
|
| I’m then I’ll try to get to the motive
|
| The root of it all (the fruit of truth)
|
| Provides the proof (the vibe alive) for who (what) when (and why)
|
| And where is that, you better look inward
|
| Never find it outside yourself, potential
|
| Man I’m seein somethin a little weird man
|
| Yeah nigga they tryin to pull a fast one on you man |
| Is anything gone but this picture here
|
| Anything out of place that isn’t clear
|
| Anything that don’t belong in this picture here
|
| Can ya, see beyond what you given here?
|
| Fahrenheits to centigrade, ever since the 11th grade
|
| I penetrate the mind’s eye like a straw through a glass of lemonade
|
| It’s ele-men-tary
|
| If marijuana’s so bad, what’s this Zoloft they sellin me?
|
| You gotta be jokin, forgot I’m from Oakland
|
| If you hop out the roaster get shot up with holes, hmm
|
| Cause it’s poverty out here, so the mob’ll be out here
|
| For the American dream, how many lost in a year
|
| A hundred and fourteen and more fiend
|
| Proportion, black mortality casualty
|
| Gradually losin grips with reality
|
| When a child’s view in violence so casually
|
| Callously, carousel of confusion
|
| Only comes to a halt with thoughtful conclusions
|
| I’mma weigh the pros and cons of what’s goin on
|
| Decide whether to go beyond and go along
|
| Don’t follow the follower (yeah they be lollygaggin)
|
| Man they tell you they seen it all (and they probably haven’t) |
| And where is that, you better look inward
|
| Never find it outside yourself, potential
|
| Yeah man next they gonna have you up in the spellbound lost’n’found
|
| Yeah man, there’s magical shit man, it’s reality |
