[Verse 1]
Sparkling extreme spinach, watching your scene plummet
If lyrics were green vomit, my vocals would clean stomachs
Addicts wean from it where dreams and green run it
The faces on money change like the host on Teen Summit
[Verse 2]
I'm close to being done with this industry's cream driven
Supreme livin', seein' more demons than Gene Simmons
And mean fibbin' actors be adlibbin'
Fakin' the funk and some of us naturally had rhythm
[Verse 3]
Some of us act like they had women, gats in they abdomen
Back when the fire hit 'em, cats, they didn't have nothin'
For certain, I'm sure it's fiction
But for some, the purest diction insures their jurisdiction
[Verse 4]
I'm kicking it up a level trying to stay in the red
Some stay in the bed, zombie like the Day of the Dead
With decay in the head, playing instead of staying ahead
Steadily portraying celebs, delaying the inevitable
[Verse 5]
When some come round, they run down when they touch ground
They climb up the structures unsound
Some of you like the way my words caress tracks
While some of these politicians secretly suppress facts
[Verse 6]
I'm saying through songs I write, my wrongs I right
If you wanna fight the power, get the power to fight
'Cause some of us judge without knowing the man's inner
And some of us find fault in the sin and not the sinner
[Verse 7]
I'm saying through songs I write, my wrongs I right
If you wanna fight the power, get the power to fight
'Cause some of us judge without knowing the man's inner
And some of us find fault in the sin and not the sinner
[Verse 8]
Influential ideas push pressure on my peers
That's why most of these brothers have short term careers
You appear to be what's happenin'
For a year, you crackin'
One hitter, quit it, now you missin' in action
[Verse 9]
With no satisfaction from the streets
I only hear foolishness when you speak
I repeat, my predecessor's endeavor with pleasure
Lock and load, explode and come better
[Verse 10]
Hopin' that the generation X
Be more wicked with the flex
And not so quick to cash a check
And disrespect, talkin' guns and sex
Chasin' death, but end up gettin' laid to rest
[Verse 11]
At your request, you're at the end of your line
Out of your mind, idle women, weed, and wine
And shells for your .09, the blind lead the blind
Time after time when you rhyme for the shine
[Verse 12]
I'm saying through songs I write, my wrongs I right
If you wanna fight the power, get the power to fight
'Cause some of us judge without knowing the man's inner
And some of us find fault in the sin and not the sinner
[Verse 13]
I'm saying through songs I write, my wrongs I right
If you wanna fight the power, get the power to fight
'Cause some of us judge without knowing the man's inner
And some of us find fault in the sin and not the sinner
[Verse 14]
Yo, I'm tellin' you to rebel
But dude, if you stale the tuna can tell
Either you're comin' to the party or you're truant as hell
Politicians ain't got no problem puttin' you in the cell
It's like we rolled up a snowball and threw it in hell
[Verse 15]
See some of us are looted with mail and suited to swell
But still blind like you're fluent in Braille
Yo, I never can tell, uh, why some make it or fail
Speak it and spell overcome and still prevail
[Verse 16]
We ripple the water frequently, blink if we show delinquency
Please, human frequencies have been diseased
A breeze ain't what I'm feeling, healing is essential
Mental aggravation shows you what we've been through
[Verse 17]
Yo, sign of the times influence the way I rhyme, man
Pick up a .09 and put down your picket sign, man
Your life is worth way more than just some diamonds
Without bling, I still gleam, glisten, and shine, man
[Verse 18]
I'm saying through songs I write, my wrongs I right
If you wanna fight the power, get the power to fight
'Cause some of us judge without knowing the man's inner
And some of us find fault in the sin and not the sinner
[Verse 19]
I'm saying through songs I write, my wrongs I right
If you wanna fight the power, get the power to fight
'Cause some of us judge without knowing the man's inner
And some of us find fault in the sin and not the sinner
