Lyrics:
Pay attention how they in the kitchen
Superstition for my inner vision
Intuition I don't wanna listen
But they got me fishin’ for A pot to piss in
This a dissertation I’m a Mental patient motivatin’
Facin’ time in a matrix back to basics They racist on a basis they love to hate us
We duck the pay cuts
And grind to make up
For the lies they make up
In the belly of the beast ten toes down Never on my knees
This is how it is this is how it be
Sometimes in ya lifetime its the night time When its flight time
Hope the wrong time ain’t the right time
Mount zion on the lifeline
No cryin’ let my light shine
Why we dyin’ while you fight crime
Had a moment you forgot about it
Move to the next hot topic
Nah God I’m still mad
While they write spells on a pill pad
Cuz I feel bad
It’s in my blood like a real dad
Sometimes it’s right and wrong
Sometimes it’s black and white
Sometimes they give you paper
Sometimes they give you life
Sometimes it’s right and wrong
Sometimes it’s black and white sometimes
Sometimes they give you paper
Sometimes they give you life give you
Maybe you could do you And I could do me and We could be free
Maybe y’all could be true And I could be me
Why we trapped in a dream? I don’t know
