[00:26.59]Now I can’t pledge allegiance to your flag
[00:28.09]Cause I can’t find no reconciliation with your past
[00:31.03]
[00:31.88]When there was nothing equal for my people in your math
[00:35.01]You forced us in the ghetto and then you took our dads
[00:38.47]The belly of the beast, these streets are demons’ abs
[00:41.53]I’m telling you that setup in them sit-ups is so sad
[00:44.71]The system is a slab
[00:46.46]Corruption is the swinger sittin’ high ridin’ dirty, drag racin’ into danger
[00:50.64]
[00:51.15]And it’s so clean, pine trees smellin’ good
[00:53.96]We work off in the trunk and niggas in the hood
[00:57.08]
[00:57.65]So I can’t shed blood on any battlefield of yours
[01:00.46]
[01:00.97]I pray the ugly truth comes and shatters your decor
[01:03.52]And as it all falls down and tatters on the floor
[01:07.40]I shed tears, I don’t know what really matters anymore
[01:10.46]
[01:14.71]Cause I don’t know what really matters anymore
[01:17.21]
[01:18.21][Hook: Casey Benjamin]
[01:18.83]Many things, strangest things you ever seen
[01:24.46]
[01:26.02]Oh, look at how they swing, would you look at how they swing?
[01:31.08]
[01:32.71]Embedded they go, no eyelids gone low
[01:37.95]
[01:39.21]Or gone by sundown, they’re dodging 5-0
[01:43.80]Now as I wander through the city goin’ mad
[01:46.43]I see the fruits are plantin’ evidence instead of grass
[01:49.05]
[01:49.62]A swindled generation with no patience, full of swag
[01:52.93]Man they so impatient with the stations that they have
[01:56.12]As long as they look good when they be doin’ bad
[01:59.36]Then the separation from the truth is gettin’ vast, fast
[02:02.68]Be a slave at first or free at last
[02:05.99]
[02:06.99]Double-edged choices make a nigga wanna pass
[02:09.24]
[02:09.93]Double-headed voices from the eagle on the staff
[02:13.19]The pyramid where eyes will split the spirited in half
[02:16.32]Divided over money
[02:17.88]Delighted by the dummyin’ down of the importance of crowns we’ll never have
[02:22.32]
[02:22.88]That’s why my sounds and sermons are so full of wrath
[02:25.26]Baptize your mind, let your brain take a bath
[02:29.44]Swim inside the river get delivered from the craft
[02:32.51]Of the witches in this business that be livin’ off your sad
[02:36.01]Hatin’ on your happiness you hit ‘em off with laughs
[02:39.26]Smile ‘til they surrender, then you kill ‘em off with glad
[02:42.38]
[02:43.95]Hello evil, I’m back
[02:46.38]
[02:47.25][Hook: Casey Benjamin]
[02:48.57]
[02:50.94]Many things, strangest things you ever seen
[02:55.07]
[02:56.75]Oh, look at how they swing, would you look at how they swing?
[03:01.94]
[03:03.57]Embedded they go, no eyelids gone low
[03:08.44]
[03:09.94]Or gone by sundown, they’re dodging 5-0
[03:15.51]
