作词 : B., Black Thought, Dj Krush | |
Yin for yang I walk on a line | |
Between ghetto slang and stimulation of the mind | |
Life is a labyryth for dollars and cents | |
As I quest for cream, through the steam so dense | |
From the sensei me a puff, cause the tunnel is tough | |
Some lick shots with sound, some'll bust from the cannon | |
Experts o-rig-i-nal man'll examine | |
I am in fact lacking con-fus-ion, as to what's real | |
and what's illus-ion | |
I come from Illadelph where ya health you never take for granted | |
As hot as the equator in a cypher round the planet | |
Or abnormal, niggas appearing out of portals and demanding your soul | |
Who controls the eight immortals but the number seven | |
In this continual maze, where night fight with days | |
Within my mind marijuan blaze | |
And some say I should change my ways | |
But it's hard to hear the phrase through the havoc and haze | |
Thought's style will never since or never cease to excella-rate | |
It's the great lab dwella | |
Tha mentals of The Roots are beyond any computer | |
The judge prosecutor, or the drug distributor | |
Respect to the ex-Lex Luger, my nigga Malik B the intruder | |
Phila 5th Dynasty's the future | |
And DJ Krush is the producer, ya healin with the ginseng Roots | |
We get ya renascence loosa | |
Remember me the Thought I represent essentially and | |
mentally eventually, ya mention me as most high | |
My decibels are most fly, I come to paint ya Thought's Black | |
Yo Krush, where's it at?!!!??! | |
Malik B : | |
The Roots bring it from the Phila Fifth, spill the gift | |
The melody of a felony is straight off a cliff | |
Now can I get a witness to dismiss Christmas from the myth list | |
Man that's bogus, let's try to stay focused | |
You would think it was the Fourth of July | |
Cause in Illadelph a round of applause light up the sky | |
Why? Don't ask me, subtle attitudes sometimes nasty | |
Foul mouth bitches walk around looking trashy | |
Bimbos talking about where's the indo? | |
Crackheads leavin babies unattended at the window | |
To see death, and brothers with strikes who got three left | |
I'm trying to make it, cause if I don't I'll probably take it | |
But perserverence is a virtue | |
The person that you thinking you hurting might hurt you | |
Ya celly might jerk too | |
Perhaps I'll go to court this time when I'm summoned | |
But I'm a rebel to the system so I might not be coming | |
So if I fail, man just get up the bail | |
It's just more time to write another story to tell | |
Ill elements, drop intelligence, Black Thought Malik B | |
fuck up their-re-le-vance | |
We got strain on the brain from bodies left in the dust | |
Man just leave it to us, look main aim and I'll bust | |
Fuck betrayal just trust, all the tracks we lust | |
With DJ Krush from Japan with no more need to discuss |
