Polarity |
Dark versus light, good versus evil |
Man versus woman, planet Earth upheaval |
Jew vs. Muslim, Norte Sur, Blood versus Crip everywhere more war |
Primitive man versus civilized savage |
One’s a Pope and the other one lives lavish |
Light skin versus dark skin, East versus West |
Blessed with balance or you’re cursed with stress |
Much success or pray your life possessed but |
Many are afraid to face life’s true tests (huh) |
Spirit over flesh, Hard to make it manifest |
The government will press the best and brightest |
G-O-D got a place inside of me |
But it’s Church versus State, and they hate it when you’re free |
The opposition might rock your brain |
The universal is a circle and everything soon change |
The world never changed for me |
It’s the same in the place to be |
The world never changed for me |
It’s the same in the place to be |
The world’s made of opposites |
Opposites are the world, are the world, are the world |
We can appear the opposite, or wish that we were them |
Either hate them or be the lies, that other people live |
Contrast the human when you see the soul behind their skin |
Take away the pew and see they pray like them |
Maybe the cross and the Qu’ran isn’t so different |
Maybe these lines are make believe and the opposite is pretend |
Just a man-made law with a flaw in that gem |
I give you the truth and everyone else is sin |
Get off it, thinkin' that perspective is godsend |
I’m from the city where they invented the mosh pit |
And when I fell my people they pulled me up |
And told me you got a job to do it’s all part of the process |
I needed to starve, before I could eat again |
I needed addiction to learn what freedom is |
Lost perspective so I had to fix a lens |
To learn that a leader knows himself and the opposite |
The world never changed for me |
It’s the same in the place to be |
The world never changed for me |
It’s the same in the place to be |
The world’s made of opposites |
Opposites are the world, are the world, are the world |
[Verse: Locksmith) |
Uh, feels good to do a feature |
With someone I respect that I honestly have a keeper |
Sense of admiration I’m activating my artistry |
To sacrifice style and show you a different part of me |
Pardon me when I part the sea with my verse |
Niggas selling they soul to hear me converse |
It’s hard to bare, when people pay me to share |
But I always put musical marriage before commerce |
Bomb first like Pac in his day, like I’m rocking his Jays |
Hawk in your face, Copy display |
I’m lyrically polished freeing pockets of slaves |
I can raise Christopher Wallace from up out of his grave |
Uh, so what’s the opposite of real? |
If Oprah’s a mammy than Tyra’s a Jezebel |
For? |
a Diva? |
The people begging for balance but they tippin' the scale |
Oh well. |
The world never changed for me |
It’s the same the place to be |
The world never changed for me |
It’s the same the place to be |
The world’s made of opposites |
Opposites are the world, are the world, are the world |
