Rising Down |
| Hello hello hello hello… |
| Hello hello hello hello… |
| Hello hello hello hello… |
| Hello hello hello hello… |
| Every anywhere heights plains peaks or valleys |
| Entrances exits vestibules and alleys |
| Winding roads that test the firm nerve |
| Fortune or fatal behind the blind curve |
| The engine oil purr, lights flash to a blur |
| Speed work through the earth make your motor go scurrr |
| Tonight at noon watch a bad moon rising |
| Identities in crisis and conflict diamonds |
| Blinding staring at lights 'til they cryin' |
| Bone gristle popping from continuous grindin |
| Grapes of wrath in a shapely glass |
| Ingredients influential on your ways and acts |
| Zero tolerance to raise the tax |
| It don’t matter how your gates is latched |
| You ain’t safe from the danger jack |
| Made it way before they made the map |
| Or a GPS this is DEF leader |
| I know where I’m goin even when it’s dark and being led down that road |
| Hello hello hello hello… |
| you don’t see that somethings wrong earth’s spinnin outta control |
| Hello hello hello hello… |
| Everything’s for sale even souls someone get God on the phone |
| Hello hello hello hello… |
| Northside nigga Southside |
| Hello hello hello hello… |
| Shits poppin off Worldwide |
| Hello hello hello hello… |
| Between the greenhouse gases and earth spinnin off its axis |
| Got mother nature doin back flips |
| The natural disasters |
| It’s like 80 degrees in Alaska |
| You in trouble if you not an Onasis |
| It ain’t hard to tell that the conditions is drastic |
| Just turn on the telly check for the news flashin |
| How you want it bagged, paper or plastic? |
| Lost in translation or just lost in traffic? |
| Yo I don’t wanna floss I done lost my passion |
| And I ant trying to climb, Yo I lost my traction |
| They makin’me break, my contents under pressure |
| Do not shake, I’m workin while the boss relaxin |
| Here come Mr. tax man, he leavin a fraction, give me back some |
| Matter fact next pay check it’s like that son |
| I’ll fuck around and have to hurt a few men |
| They probably chalk it up as a disturbing new trend, Hello |
| I know where I’m goin even when it’s dark and being led down that road |
| Hello hello hello hello… |
| you don’t see that somethings wrong earth’s spinnin outta control |
| Hello hello hello hello… |
| Everything’s for sale even the souls someone get God on the phone |
| Hello hello hello hello… |
| Northside nigga Southside |
| Hello hello hello hello… |
| shits poppin off Worldwide |
| Hello hello hello hello… |
| Should I say hello or should I say that hell is low |
| Am I nigga or a niggero? |
| I’m an African American |
| They sell drugs in the hood but the man, he move the medicine |
| He’ll prescribe you all-med for everything |
| A little stuffy nose tell you get some Claritin |
| You know I’m hip to it and its hard to claim the land |
| When my great great great grands were shipped to it look at technology they call it downloading |
| I call it downsizing somebody follow me Does a computer chip have an astrology |
| And when it fuck up could it give you an apology (Could it?) |
| Should it say hello or should it say goodbye |
| Try to understand how smart and how hood am I It don’t matter though |
| Until we learn that the world don’t turn right |
| We all oughta the scatter though |
| I know where I’m goin even when it’s dark and being led down that road |
| Hello hello hello hello… |
| you don’t see that somethings wrong earth’s spinnin outta control |
| Hello hello hello hello… |
| Everything’s for sale even souls someone get God on the phone |
| Hello hello hello hello… |
| Northside nigga Southside |
| Hello hello hello hello… |
| shits poppin off Worldwide |
| Hello hello hello hello… |
