Lyrics The Wager - Silent Knight, 8thw1, Fresh Daily

The Wager

Peace of mind’s the only thing worth killing for
Exhaust all options, be sure that there isn’t more
It’s the closest we can get to heaven in this lifetime
A quiet mind in an energized corpse
My homeboy getting closer to Christ
Studying the Gospel, at first I was hostile
«Religion's all bullshit, why do you try?»
With bags under his eyes he said, «Man, I got to
And if it’s not true it’s only through my view.»
So I well wished him and offered my assistance
Who am I to tell that man how to sleep?
I’m an MC, not a posturepedic physician
'Cause I don’t got the answers my damn self
Insanity and genius, I’m straddling the boarder
Like indecisive immigrants already missing home
But what could be, to not see would be torture
Forwards the only way to move
We backslide but don’t let them record you
And if so, own up
Don’t let 'em have your pride like, «Oooh, ah ha, look, man, I got you.»
Guilt, exercise through, trying to deny you with hopes to demise you
So if it’s the Bible or the Koran that keep you from killing a moron, I got you
We all here for survival
The life you live is the ultimate trial
I ain’t saying it’s not your world
Just remember that it’s mine, too
And you can’t hide, it’s gonna find you
And you can’t front, it’s behind you
I ain’t saying it’s not your world
But just remember that it’s mine, too
They say they want peace so bad they’ll make war for it
If that made sense to you then I’m all for it
If you like me, you see the flaw in the logic
Not the needle in the hay, don’t squint, it’s mad obvious
Terror situation is preposterous
Niggas dying on the front line is so monstrous
All that for oil, now look at the consequence
Holler at your Congress
They holler back, it’s all nonsense
TV be sounding like gibberish
Play a CD and they sounding so niggerish
Something kinda fishy like clitoris
Medicine lying in bed with big businesses
Can’t tell the difference between the cure and the sicknesses
Side effects worse than the shit you getting rid of, it’s ridiculous
I ain’t never claim to be deep in the politics
I can see plain you trying to feed me a pile of shit
We all here for survival
The life you live is the ultimate trial
I ain’t saying it’s not your world
But just remember that it’s mine, too
And you can’t hide, it’s gonna find you
And you can’t front, it’s behind you
I ain’t saying it’s not your world
But just remember that it’s mine, too
Peace God
Hotep shalam
As-salam alaykum, wa alaykum salam
That’s just a few examples of ways to respond
But we lose track and run away from the bomb
We got more in common then we’re led to believe
But hate mongers, go around and spread a disease
We stay in conflict, «He said he was better than me?
Okay, watch then, he gonna regret that speech.»
I’ve been in constant jeopardy since I can remember each
Year that passed by, still as lost as ever
Meanwhile looking better, he’s a Yogi
Last has Islam and Moseir caught the ghost
Monique whole fam know they plan
That don’t mean it work for me just 'cause it work for them
I can’t search for Zen, I let it find me
And finally be the change that I wanna see
You see
We all here for survival
The life you live is the ultimate trial
I ain’t saying it’s not your world
Just remember that it’s mine, too
And you can’t hide, it’s gonna find you
And you can’t front, it’s behind you
I ain’t saying it’s not your world
But just remember that it’s mine, too
