[00:20.38]First off say peace to Pine Ridge
[00:22.26]Shame at all the damage the white man wine did
[00:24.26]Ghost dance, Trail of Tears, 5 million beers a year
[00:26.94]And all that other crime did
[00:28.63]
[00:29.13]More peace to the teachers of blind kids
[00:31.13]To rebels in small cells keeping their mind big
[00:33.81]Say everything's hostile
[00:34.51]Suicide bombers and prosperity gospels, emaciated models
[00:38.50]With cocaine and blood pouring out their nostrils, they got to
[00:41.94]Just to stay awake on the catwalk of life where everybody watch you
[00:45.69]Straight hair, high heels and a handbag
[00:48.13]Crucifixes, racism and a land grab
[00:50.56]Katrina, FEMA trailers, human body sandbags
[00:52.31]A peace sign and a pants sag
[00:55.26]A money toss cause a 9 stripper mad dash
[00:57.57]A friend request following a hash tag
[00:59.88]Now everybody want it like the last laugh
[01:02.38]A Michael Jackson jacket or a daft mask
[01:04.50]Purple Jordans or the mixed girl in your math class
[01:06.88]Stable is when the Ba'ath had Baghdad
[01:08.50]But corporate jets really had to have that gas bad
[01:11.32]War and they hope they all fall from the ratatat
[01:13.88]Cause that's just more dinosaur for the Cadillac
[01:15.69]
[01:16.31]Live from the other side what you see
[01:18.12]A bunch of nonsense on my TV
[01:20.37]Heaven on Earth is what I need
[01:22.68]But I feel I'm in hell every time I breathe
[01:25.12]Reporting live from the other side what you hear
[01:27.44]A bunch of nonsense all in my ear
[01:29.31]
[01:29.82]Rich man, poor man, we all gotta pay
[01:32.19]Cause freedom ain't free, especially 'round my way
[01:34.51]
[01:35.10]And we marvel at the state of Ottoman
[01:37.53]Then turn around and treat Ghana like a garbage can
[01:39.73]America's a big motherfuckin' garbageman
[01:41.97]If you ain't know, you're part and parcel of the problem
[01:44.48]You say no you ain't, and I say yes you is
[01:46.54]Soon as you find out what planned obsolescence is
[01:48.91]You say no they didn't, and I say yes they did
[01:51.35]The definition of unnecessary-ness
[01:53.29]Manifested
[01:56.04]Say that we should protest just to get arrested
[01:58.10]That goes against all my hustling ethics
[01:59.79]
[02:00.29]A bunch of jail niggas say its highly ineffective
[02:02.85]Depart from Martin, connect on Malcolm X tip
[02:05.16]Insert Baldwin to similar the separate
[02:07.48]To me, the truth is more fulfilling than a meth hit
[02:09.87]Or finding really fast internet to have some sex with
[02:12.49]It's all one song short of a set list
[02:14.37]Couple croissants shy of a continental breakfast
[02:16.74]Or blowing out your birthday candles just to make a death wish
[02:19.19]So absurd word to Chief Bone Necklace
[02:20.88]Down at the Lakota Sioux Casino
[02:23.76]A whole culture boiled down to giving you paquino
[02:26.00]I go as left as a heart in the chest
[02:28.26]Cause the Horn of Africa is now starving to death
[02:31.00]Live from the other side what you see
[02:32.94]A bunch of nonsense on my TV
[02:35.26]Heaven on Earth is what I need
[02:37.63]But I feel I'm in hell every time I breathe
[02:40.07]Reporting live from the other side what you hear
[02:42.38]A bunch of nonsense all in my ear
[02:44.63]Rich man, poor man, we all gotta pay
[02:47.01]Cause freedom ain't free, especially 'round my way
[02:49.52]An all white Los Angeles, the dream of Mr. Chandler
[02:51.84]Hope and pray they take Columbus day up off the calendar
[02:54.27]South Central an example of God's gifts
[02:56.46]So shout to all the mothers raising babies in spa 6
[02:58.96]The projects of Oakland city, Detroit ghost towns
[03:01.15]Monopolies on poverty where D-boy coke bound
[03:03.40]It's parts of Manilla like the video for Thriller
[03:05.77]But the US Embassy is reminiscent of a villa
[03:08.34]If poverty is chocolate and privilege vanilla
[03:09.84]Then what's the flavor of the Sunday preacher's pedophilia
[03:12.09]
[03:12.93]Cash rules everything around these niggas
[03:15.06]As classrooms everywhere around me wither
[03:17.49]Hither you can be Mr. Burns or Mr. Smithers
[03:19.93]The tyrant or the slave but nowhere in the middle
[03:22.43]Of the extremes of America's dream
[03:24.43]Freud fighting Neo, Freddy Krueger refereeing, naaa,
[03:27.18]Live from the other side what you see
[03:29.12]A bunch of nonsense on my TV
[03:30.87]
[03:31.43]Heaven on Earth is what I need
[03:33.40]
[03:33.90]But I feel I'm in hell every time I breathe
[03:36.21]Reporting live from the other side what you hear
[03:38.52]A bunch of nonsense all in my ear
[03:40.84]Rich man, poor man, we all gotta pay
[03:43.21]Cause freedom ain't free, especially 'round my way
[03:45.77]
