lyrics

Verse 1

When I step up to the plate I'ma leave all of ya shook
Drop science like a Christian biology book
A past jacked, handed over to some liars and crooks
But not everybody opens up and just swallows the hook

That's why we're 3rd eye certified, seen the truth, heard the lies
When they spread that shit around it only serves to fertilize
The soil with the grass roots growin' deep, sowin' seeds
So I'm flowin' free, showin' potent speech to broken sheep

I'm known to bone a beat, get busy with the rhythm
But beyond the style of lyrics, take a listen what's within 'em
'Cause every line I write is comin' straight from the atrium
Rock a crowd of ten like a sold-out stadium

Won't baby 'em, (the) message rough, raw, rugged
If I got some shit to say, then you can best believe I'm dumpin'
'Cause the mind is fertile ground like a woman ovulatin'
I believe speakin' my thoughts to be my highest obligation


Verse 2

Rude motherfuckers ain't worth my time
Expensive bar covers ain't worth my dime
Doin' that time ain't worth that crime
But when it comes to real life, mosta y'all sound like mimes

Make no mistake, days we're livin' in are troubled
A great nation quickly pavin' a path to rubble
The politics of fear mean we're steady bein' muzzled
While foundations of equality are widely bein' crumbled

Taught to chase a paper dream, we fiend for greater things
But what does greatness weighed in paper really even mean?
We see things that could easily be deemed obscene
Perpetrated and perpetuated for the need of green

Meanwhile our paper leaders craft up doubletalk to feed us
No we don't believe 'em, but we're hard pressed to unseat 'em
When the next one's just as shady, votes are little more than tokens
When crooks write the law, the social contract is broken
