|
Preacher's playing foul in the system now listen now |
|
It's more hate in the religious now ain't it foul |
|
Gotta be a better way to figure outhow to be a self savior plus help my niggaz out |
|
These pigs playin foul in the system now listen now |
|
Every poor person is a nigga now |
|
There's gotta be a better way to figure outhow to get this paper cause they lockin all my niggaz down[Chace Infinite] |
|
How do expect to live? |
|
Dealin with savages is damagin |
|
Somebody gotta lose although you play to win |
|
You know these niggaz hate, despite the color of your face |
|
When I say nigga |
|
I'm just speakin on your mental state |
|
Life ain't a game if it is |
|
I can't participate |
|
Maybe I've changed but my mind is in a different state |
|
Cause now it seems more like a plan |
|
I'm strivin for perfection, so that's where |
|
I'll begin |
|
Your tallies and peaks and valleys can't describe who |
|
I amThis music is therapeutic, |
|
I define who |
|
I amThrough the actions |
|
I portray as a man - in combinationwith impressions |
|
I leave on people through things that |
|
I've saidI've had it up to here with the bullshit |
|
So when I rap |
|
I sound like |
|
I'm in the pulpit |
|
Yeah; they say that |
|
I be preachin too much |
|
But I know that through the music's how you teach it to us |
|
It's all real[Chorus][Talib Kweli] |
|
True indeed |
|
Chace; they tried to get rid of me (say word) |
|
But they can't write me off, |
|
I'm not a charity |
|
That's a parody right? |
|
You kiddin me |
|
There really ain't no challenge, my authenticityvirtually guarantee me a flawless victory, you kiddin me? |
|
I'm lethal, |
|
I'm from a people who was forced into captivity |
|
Original man, there was often a facsimile |
|
I give a little more than your metaphors and wack similes |
|
Thousand yard stare, say a prayer for my enemy |
|
I'm international, half of these rappers laughable |
|
It's tragic how the other half so vaginal |
|
They put the style over substance, they counsel bother me |
|
My style married my substance and now they livin in harmony |
|
But any substance can be abused |
|
Especially when the style is so seductive the substance consider leaving you |
|
You gotta get back to your essence |
|
Use your gifts and share your presence |
|
Don't count your dollars 'til you count your blessings[Chorus] |
