Lyrics
Meditate on night on the days that's gone by searching for the answers, but more questions asking why. Why they do us this way? And why we live a lie? Why no-one cares? And we got to die? I battle with my mind, and my angels on the side Does God really love us? I know that question isn't right. But the tears of my people could fill a reservoir for life Four hundred years pressed and we still counting' right? See that type of thinking's the very demon I gotta fight Already gassed up and all I need is BlackLight I swear to God I'll never let a tear blurry my sight, never loosen my fist Hella angry, asking God why do we exist Before I get an answer, hater's quick to move his lips So I tell that motherfucker loose lips sink ships (and I'm deep) How did it get so bad? Can we think things over? Said we scream for help, and they turn their shoulder. I'm so sad inside, that's why I'm barely ever sober. You think the world is cold? I'ma show you something colder. yeah I'ma show you something colder, eh eh aye-aye You think the world is cold? Hello, hello? Can I get a change? Voted for Obama but the nation's still the same Hey what you mean? My n**** that's a shame Start another war, still got troops in Afghanistan Decrease the population and throw us on a train A new holocaust go them shackles on their brain Plus they'd killl they mama for the ice and the chain And when you see a good n**** you call that brother lame They weak minded, you goons so insane Want different result but the process still the same Hopinfor the bling but the only chain you seein' is between them shiny cuffs, escorted by Europeans. Don't get me wrong, I'm far from an Uncle Tom Go to the White House i'm liable to plant a bomb. Naw I'm playing', be careful how you talking' My CIA codename is Deadman Walkin' (huh) How did it get so bad? Can we think things over? Said we scream for help, and they turn their shoulder. I'm so sad inside, that's why I'm barely ever sober. You think the world is cold? I'ma show you something colder. Hey I'ma show you something colder, eh eh aye-aye You think the world is cold? See the wars in the mind, behind enemy lines I'm tryin to walk the line, but the line is undefined. See i'm sitting in the corner, depressed, gripping the nine I'm bout to break the bonds, I'm aiming it at my mind Just breath y'all... just breathe y'all... Just breathe y'all... just breathe y'all... Just breath... Rapid water flow, all y'all get caught up Not only got that water but that food for though you ordered Was brought up to stop the slaughter of our sons and daughters tell 'em learn from their mistakes and forget them lies they taught us Cause, honestly, where has it brought us? Perpetuate the system, now the bastard is the father But I'ma break the mold now that daddy is an author And un-mask the soul, call it Phantom of the Opera Ask me how I feel- man, I'm already legend Write before I speak, tongue in cheek, what was written Boy I teach, don't preach, won't you listen? Prophet when I speak, now it's profit that I'm gettin' You think the world is cold?
