[00:20.86] I put the foreground to life with my vision board
[00:22.96] Background drowning out from sirens and white noise
[00:25.65] Rhythm fairly faded, still I caught it and kept my poise
[00:28.27] It's not to be debated, either be great or be destroyed
[00:30.63] Fuck your conversation, if it's basic, we keep it coy
[00:33.59] Was fuckin' off of basic instincts, feelings premature

[00:38.55] Like if you got to know me, you would know I'm a paramour
[00:40.95] Just looking for
[00:42.38] Inamorata, a rider, a woman
[00:44.13] My generation product of narcotics for numbing
[00:46.72] It's fathers early retired, tired mamas becoming daddies
[00:49.45] It's gun violence, your son dyin' for nothin'
[00:52.00] And your daughters be suckin' dick 'fore they even get they first kiss

[01:02.63] Dreams of ghetto ballin' and callin'
[01:04.22] Iso' regardless of what court I'm in
[01:06.02] Point out the judge for bearing grudge to my melanin
[01:08.79] Point blank, period, the shit's irrelevant

[01:47.50] It don't matter where I'm from 'cause my skin is my logo
[01:50.12] These cops tryna lock me up or kill me with a four-four
[01:52.78] Ain't no justice in the system, 'specially for another nigga
[01:55.48] 'Specially on your second strike and when that third one come quicker
[01:58.07] 'Specially when he dreams bigger and he know he can't switch up
[02:00.73] Though his people might switch up
[02:02.23] Only way it's gettin' clearer is by lookin' in the mirror
[02:04.45] But yo, even you would think I was odd if I told you that we was gods
[02:07.58] But a conversation with Taj and he clearly would just oblige
[02:10.55] You decide, 'cause what really matters is what's inside
[02:12.90] I just look 'em straight in they eyes and I can see spiritual smiles
[02:15.59] They visions, they tell us lies, we are not to be itemized
[02:18.23] We are not to be idolized, see the body is a disguise

[02:52.17] Soul of a lion, suited to triumph all of our days and reign
[02:54.85] Like a drop of freedom fallin' on slaves
[02:57.28] We shall remain the people's champion, glorifying the Pantheon
[02:59.88] MLK with an AK, AKA Malcolm X-cellence
