Crooked Is the Path

Crooked is the path
That we travel by my half
Of the world when we walk
Yes, we twist and we twirl
Never twirl alone
No, we stick it out like drones
If we can't have the meat
Then we suck on the bones
To another time (Time)
To another place (Place)
To another world
Where I don't know a face
Do I need a mentor
Before I can enter
The realm with all the little devils at the helm
The scene
Now I see the devils in my dream
I try to get away
But still I come back like a fiend
Although I am a soldier
I never pledge allegiance
To a certain flag
If they lackin' they drag
If I'm not in motion
Then throw me to the ocean fast
But remember
Crooked is the path

Crooked is the path
That we take to the last stop
Crooked is the path
So we drink to the last drop
Crooked is the path
Try, but we can't stop
Crooked is the path
Crooked is the path

Crooked is the path
But we try not to wander
Tempted by the fruits
But we keep on goin' under
Who is he to rule?
Who is he to blame?
No one really knows
But we play the same game
But despite the words I say
I'm a rough renegade
I shine like the sun
But I stay in the shade
I'm an element of nature
That's my declaration
Put on this earth
With a groovy sensation
Confined to my pad
With legacies to funk
Pride deep inside
Like the eagle when it flies
Modern day hippie
Could never be a sissy
Twist and I twirl
I never get dizzy
I rock like a cradle
On a level just like Plato
If I go to heaven
Will my cap be a halo?
Human is the breed
There's no need for the greed
My man in the sky
He's the boss, he's the chief
I'm peaceful and solid
But never unalert
Don't mess with the crew
'Cause we might go berserk
The tat on my hip
Symbolizes that I'm sexual
I look like a hood
But I could drop it intellectual
Nah, there's no need to get amazed
Molecules of life make me act in this way
As I walk, as I talk
Freakin' out my mentals
You hear the band kickin' fat instrumentals
Sens by my side
Me and him on the rise
Herbs get consumed
So we got the Chinese eyes
Dose got the rhythms
For all your organisms
Rhymes flow free
Not in track nor in prison
Reflectin' on the past
'Cause the past paves the way
Forget about tomorrow
Just remember yesterday
Strictly fitted caps
Mental with the raps
Plus I thank God
But crooked is the path

Crooked is the path
As I come upon a stranger
Crooked is the path
Like the lost lone ranger
Crooked is the path
Like a frame without a picture
Crooked is the path
Crooked is the path

Slow it down, y'all
Crooked is the path
That we travel by the mass
Of my tribe when we roll
Yes, we work and we strive
Never strive alone
No, we keep it close to home
If you can't stand the vibe
Then step out of the zone
To another time
In another hole
In another world
Where I don't know a soul
If you are a soldier
Then move the smallest boulder last
But remember
Crooked is the path

Crooked is the path
That we all must follow
Crooked is the path
To the fame and the sorrow
Crooked is the path
Of today and tomorrow
Crooked is the path
Crooked is the path
Crooked is the path
Crooked is the path
Crooked is the path
Crooked is the path
Crooked is the path
Crooked is the path
Crooked is the path

Know what I'm sayin'?
