Don't judge a book by the cover |
| [00:22.51] |
Every single being in this world is your brother |
| [00:25.07] |
When I lost and uncover |
| [00:27.13] |
Ancient words that teach me to love ya! |
| [00:30.14] |
So we burn to return to the mother |
| [00:32.51] |
And we yearn to unlearn all they told ya about yourself |
| [00:35.89] |
Who you are, what you should be, |
| [00:38.51] |
I'm gonna be free, leave it up to me! |
| [00:40.88] |
. |
| [00:41.08] |
Raise your eyes to the sky, look out through the night |
| [00:43.07] |
Feel alright! |
| [00:45.76] |
Stars burn bright, high like the moonlight |
| [00:47.95] |
You'll be alright! |
| [00:49.95] |

This is the medicine, I'm out like the Bedouin |
| [01:08.39] |
This knife I'm burying, this life I'm treasuring |

I went running away to the cave |
| [01:23.02] |
Went in a slave and came out all flames |
| [01:25.46] |
I went running away for the hills |
| [01:28.13] |
Back to my roots and I'm running still |
| [01:30.51] |
But now I'm running to face my dreams |
| [01:33.14] |
Find my place and what it means |
| [01:35.51] |
Find yourself and no one else |
| [01:37.88] |
You have to leave it up to me, leave it up to me! |
| [01:41.63] |

I used to be a mobster burning down the block |
| [02:26.78] |
I shot the sheriff, the DA, and the deputy |
| [02:29.28] |
Sorry Al Sharpton, I don't need you to lecture me |
| [02:31.90] |
Maybe I'll stop talking about guns |
| [02:34.15] |
When you talk about the funds that they cut for the youth |
| [02:36.78] |
Let's cut to the truth, ain't enough for the youth |
| [02:39.22] |
So tell me how you judge me til you're stuck in the shoes, man! |
| [02:42.15] |
Where the Congressmen, where all the Senators? |
| [02:44.46] |
They're thinking about their green, not the color of the President? |
| [02:46.96] |
This is just a relevance, survival is the sentiment |
| [02:49.41] |
Narcotics is the only way you know that I'ma measure it! |
| [02:52.12] |
They say that we are in a post Obama era |
| [02:54.50] |
Well exactly what that mean? You needn't make it clearer |
| [02:56.88] |
Does it mean that the rich are gonna finally start to share up |
| [02:59.73] |
Re-proportion the wealth and make things fairer |
| [03:02.11] |
Asking God "why do poor people suffer" |
| [03:04.54] |
But now I'm such a hypocrite, the Rolls Royce mufflers. |
| [03:07.23] |
In the gutters nobody never loved us |
| [03:09.80] |
I am just the result of pain and hunger! |
