| These are the seeds, of reality
|
| These are some of the things that you should think bout, when you breathe
|
| Who said tomorrow is promised, here for you or for me
|
| But if you open your eyes, I garuntee that you will see
|
| The lies that are told, the dreams that are sold
|
| The children that are starving, and the mothers that are hoes
|
| The dopefiends and the dealers, the killers and the coroners
|
| The swishas and the sweets, and all the bags of marijuana
|
| The hustler and his grind, the law man and his nine
|
| A crooked cop and a badge, and a innocent man that just done died
|
| A member right out of the Klan, got a position that’s judge in a robe
|
| The nigga that’s facing the judge in the robe, is gonna get hung by the throat
|
| The money and the greed, the evil that deceives
|
| The pussy and the dick, the infection and the disease
|
| The ghetto and it’s cries, the soldiers that have died
|
| The sweet taste of living, and the bitter taste of dying
|
| The wicked ways of Satan, the holy ways of God
|
| The people doing right, and the people doing wrong
|
| The higher class living rich, lower class slums
|
| Lower class taking higher class shit, with guns
|
| The passing of a life, the coming of a new
|
| The passion of a love, the hatred of it too
|
| The trying for bickery, the agony of defeat
|
| The screams of a war, the silence of the peace
|
| The demons of the hells, the angels of the heavens
|
| Punished for our sins, forgiven for our mature guessings
|
| A man that set his best, a man that set his doom
|
| A figment of the imagination, a figment of the truth
|
| The weakness of a mark, the strength of a king
|
| The beauty of a princess, and the horror of a beast
|
| The gift of having sight, the curse of being blind
|
| Knowing when to stay, and knowing when to move around
|
| The timidness of women, the fury of her wrath
|
| The judgment of a wise man, and the foolish never lasts
|
| The new into the old, the old into the new
|
| The now that was then, the then we never knew
|
| We live in modern day Babylon
|
| I roll with activists from Garvey, down to Farakan
|
| Whites fintiblize, murdered us and many women cried
|
| Got penalized for being black, through blatant genocide
|
| I’m trying to elevate my own mind, and enlighten yours
|
| I’m writing bars, that might fighting people from fighting wars
|
| I read the time through revelation, not a horoscope
|
| At the rate we going, will we see tomorrow (nope)
|
| False education, so I can’t believe what teachers say
|
| How can I keep going to church, knowing the preacher’s gay
|
| I’m tired of stepping on the glass, I’m bout to buy a weapon
|
| How can I know my partna’s smoking, and won’t try to help him
|
| America is at the end, we ain’t got longer last
|
| You ain’t a man your woman work, and you laying on your ass
|
| We are the sinners of the lost nation, getting found
|
| And every action committed by a man, was written down |
