What? Come on (Yeah)\n\n\"Give me the fortune, keep the fame,\" said my man Louis\nI agreed, know what he mean because we live the truest lie\nI asked him why we follow the law of the bluest eye\nHe looked at me, he thought about it\nWas like, \"I'm clueless, why?\"\nThe question was rhetorical, the answer is horrible\nOur morals are out of place and got our lives full of sorrow\nAnd so tomorrow comin' later than usual\nWaitin' on someone to pity us\nWhile we findin' beauty in the hideous\nThey say money's the root of all evil but I can't tell\nYou know what I mean, pesos, francs, yens, cowrie shells, dollar bills\nOr is it the mindstate that's ill?\nCreating crime rates to fill the new prisons they build\nOver money and religion there's more blood to spill\nThe wounds of slaves in cotton fields that never heal\nWhat's the deal?\nA lot of cats who buy records are straight broke\nBut my language universal they be recitin' my quotes\nWhile R&B singers hit bad notes, we rock the boat\nOf thought, that my man Louis' statements just provoked\nCaught up, in conversations of our personal worth\nBrought up, through endangered species status on the planet Earth\nSurvival tactics means, bustin' gats to prove you hard\nYour firearms are too short to box with God\nWithout faith, all of that is illusionary\nRaise my son, no vindication of manhood necessary\n\n(Not strong) Only aggressive\n(Not free) We only licensed\n(Not compassionate, only polite) Now who the nicest?\n(Not good but well behaved)\nChasin' after death so we can call ourselves brave?\n(Still livin' like mental slaves)\nHidin' like thieves in the night from life\nIllusions of oasis makin' you look twice\nHidin' like thieves in the night from life\nIllusions of oasis makin' you look twice\n\nYo, I'm sure that everybody out listenin' agree\nThat everything you see ain't really how it be\nA lot of jokers out runnin' in place, chasin the style\nBe a lot goin' on beneath the empty smile\nMost cats in my area be lovin' the hysteria\nSynthesized surface conceals the interior\nAmerica, land of opportunity, mirages and camouflages\nMore than usually, speakin' loudly, sayin' nothin'\nYou confusin' me, you losin' me\nYour game is twisted, want me enlisted, in your usary\nFoolishly, most men join the ranks cluelessly\nBuffoonishly accept the deception, believe the perception\nReflection rarely seen across the surface of the lookin' glass\nWalkin' the street, wonderin' who they be lookin' past\nLookin' gassed with them imported designer shades on\nStars shine bright, but the light, rarely stays on\nSame song, just remixed, different arrangement\nPut you on a yacht but they won't call it a slave ship\nStrangeness, you don't control this, you barely hold this\nScreamin' brand new, when they just sanitized the old shit\nSuppose it's, just another clever Jedi mind trick\nThat they been runnin' across stars through all the time with\nI find it's distressin', there's never no in-between\nWe either niggas or Kings\nWe either bitches or Queens\nThe deadly ritual seems immersed, in the perverse\nFull of short attention spans, short tempers, and short skirts\nLong barrel automatics released in short bursts\nThe length of black life is treated with short worth\n\"Get yours first, them other niggas secondary\"\nThat type of illin' that be fillin' up the cemetery\nThis life is temporary but the soul is eternal\nSeparate the real from the lie, let me learn you\n\nNot strong, only aggressive, cause the power ain't directed\nThat's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive\nNot free, we only licensed\nNot live, we just excitin'\n'Cause the captors. own the masters, to what we writin'\nNot compassionate, only polite, we well trained\nOur sincerity's rehearsed in stage, it's

grave\nI give a damn if any fan recall my legacy\nI'm tryin' to live life in the sight of God's memory\nLike that y'all\n\n(A lot of people don't understand the true criteria of things)\n(Can't just

morals are out of place and got our lives full of sorrow\n[00:20.94] And so tomorrow comin' later than usual\n[00:22.75] Waitin' on someone to pity us\n[00:24.34] While we findin' beauty in the hideous\n[00:26.29] They say money's the root of all evil but I can't tell\n[00:28.44] You know what I mean, pesos, francs, yens, cowrie shells, dollar bills\n[00:32.13] Or is it the mindstate that's ill?\n[00:33.74] Creating crime rates to fill the new prisons they build\n[00:36.41] Over money and religion there's more blood to spill\n[00:38.89] The wounds of slaves in cotton fields that never heal\n[00:41.28] What's the deal?\n[00:41.82] A lot of cats who buy records are straight broke\n[00:44.14] But my language universal they be recitin' my quotes\n[00:46.52] While R&B singers hit bad notes, we rock the boat\n[00:49.21] Of thought, that my man Louis' statements just provoked\n[00:51.99] Caught up, in conversations of our personal worth\n[00:54.31] Brought up, through endangered species status on the planet Earth\n[00:57.03] Survival tactics means, bustin' gats to prove you hard\n[01:00.28] Your firearms are too short to box with God\n[01:02.65] Without faith, all of that is illusionary\n[01:05.12] Raise my son, no vindication of manhood necessary\n[01:07.72] (Not strong) Only aggressive\n[01:09.08] (Not free) We only licensed\n[01:10.50] (Not compassionate, only polite) Now who the nicest?\n[01:13.01] (Not good but well behaved)\n[01:14.33] Chasin' after death so we can call ourselves brave?\n[01:16.76] (Still livin' like mental slaves)\n[01:18.37] Hidin' like thieves in the night from life\n[01:20.60] Illusions of oasis makin' you look twice\n[01:23.73] Hidin' like thieves in the night from life\n[01:25.99] Illusions of oasis makin' you look twice\n[01:28.08] Yo, I'm sure that everybody out listenin' agree\n[01:31.27] That everything you see ain't really how it be\n[01:33.63] A lot of jokers out runnin' in place, chasin the style\n[01:36.33] Be a lot goin' on beneath the empty smile\n[01:39.05] Most cats in my area be lovin' the hysteria\n[01:41.97] Synthesized surface conceals the interior\n[01:44.36] America, land of opportunity, mirages and camouflages\n[01:47.59] More than usually, speakin' loudly, sayin' nothin'\n[01:50.08] You confusin' me, you losin' me\n[01:51.63] Your game is twisted, want me enlisted, in your usary\n[01:54.26] Foolishly, most men join the ranks cluelessly\n[01:56.61] Buffoonishly accept the deception, believe the perception\n[01:59.97] Reflection rarely seen across the surface of the lookin' glass\n[02:02.88] Walkin' the street, wonderin' who they be lookin' past\n[02:05.22] Lookin' gassed with them imported designer shades on\n[02:07.98] Stars shine bright, but the light, rarely stays on\n[02:10.30] Same song, just remixed, different arrangement\n[02:13.06] Put you on a yacht but they won't call it a slave ship\n[02:15.55] Strangeness, you don't control this, you barely hold this\n[02:18.25] Screamin' brand new, when they just sanitized the old shit\n[02:20.67] Suppose it's, just another clever Jedi mind trick\n[02:23.37] That they been runnin' across stars through all the time with\n[02:26.25] I find it's distressin', there's never no in-between\n[02:28.47] We either niggas or Kings\n[02:29.77] We either bitches or Queens\n[02:31.19] The deadly ritual seems immersed, in the perverse\n[02:34.04] Full of short attention spans, short tempers, and short skirts\n[02:36.43] Long barrel automatics released in short bursts\n[02:39.08] The length of black life is treated with short worth\n[02:41.76] \"Get yours first, them other niggas secondary\"\n[02:44.42] That type of illin' that be fillin' up the cemetery\n[02:46.87] This life is temporary but the soul is eternal\n[02:49.72] Separate the real from the lie, let me learn you\n[02:51.87] Not strong, only aggressive, cause the power ain't directed\n[02:54.51] That's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive\n[02:57.28] Not free, we only licensed\n[02:58.54] Not live, we just excitin'\n[02:59.86] 'Cause the captors. own the masters, to what we writin'\n[03:02.27] Not compassionate, only polite, we well trained\n[03:04.91] Our sincerity's rehearsed in stage, it's just a game\n[03:07.70] Not good, but well behaved cause the camera survey\n[03:10.53] Most of the things that we think, do, or say\n[03:12.92] We chasin' after death just to call ourselves brave\n[03:15.68] But everyday, next man meet with the grave\n[03:18.32] I give a damn if any fan recall my legacy\n[03:20.73] I'm tryin' to live life in the sight of God's memory\n[03:23.44] Like that y'all\n[03:26.53] (A lot of people don't understand the true criteria of things)\n[03:29.99] (Can't just accept the appearance)\n[03:32.19] Have to get the true essence (They ain't lookin' around)\n[03:33.99] Not strong (Only aggressive)\n[03:35.26] Not free (We only licensed)\n[03:36.56] Not compassionate, only polite (Now who the nicest?)\n[03:39.14] Not good but well behaved)\n[03:40.74] (Chasin' after death so we can call ourselves brave?)\n[03:43.05] Still livin' like mental slaves\n[03:44.63] Hidin'
