Just Above the Border (Recon)

Ceremony and cypher hand and hand within the Woes

Maintain control so I gotta rock shows

Steppin side to side sometimes I’m fallin through these black holes

I used to play into the trap that they called my role

Oh but that’s not a surprise that I realize

The government despise when a wise guy like myself

Voices the opinion of the lies that’s going down

There’s corruption all around

Even found in the hearts of the good and the pure

I’m sure the human race cannot endure existence for much longer

Through the pain and suffering I’m only growing stronger

So I ponder off into destiny of mankind

Still I cannot find the solution

Death suffering hatred pain and pollution

Not a new concept I’m introducin

I’m looking though smog and I still can’t see

Will there be no revolution like

Just above the border and south of the bay

We’ve been posted hella long here in Southern Cali

Dealing with disorder which is causing our dismay

How long will the chaos run free in L.A.

Just above the border and south of the bay

We’ve been posted hella long here in Southern Cali

If there is no law and order which we can afford to pay

Then out of the chaos we form our own in L.A.

We gotta come together take our life at stride

Swallow our pride

Great ones before us tried and died

But they still alive inside all of us

We must trust in what’s real not in the dollar bill

It will not make a difference your material lease

When your bodies deceased

On a starving journey your soul is the feast

But at least we got Hip Hop

In fact I’m a Hip Hop head

It’s my passion in life

It’s my Mother’s milk I’m breast fed

It can make me move when I’m perfectly still

Get an adrenaline rush when my freestlyle’s come at will

Never without my music it embedded in my soul

Beat boxin in my wheelchair when I’m eighty years old

The beat won’t stop till palpations do and my bodies cold

Recycled styles that I see straight start to grow mold

And so I’m told

That this Hip Hop Hip Hop Hip Hop won’t last forever

But as long as the Woes is around my rhymes will endeavor where

Just above the border and south of the bay

We’ve been posted hella long here in Southern Cali

Dealing with disorder which is causing our dismay

How long will the chaos run free in L.A.

Just above the border and south of the bay

We’ve been posted hella long here in Southern Cali

If there is no law and order which we can afford to pay

Then out of the chaos we form our own in L.A.

Police brutality

Causing mass casualties

Loss of life realities

Played out on the TV screen

Hands up don’t shoot

I cannot breathe

Has to be a point where we force the change of these policies

Replace department chiefs

Erase these old beliefs

Protect and serve

Show some restraint up in the streets

Listen to the people speak

Ain’t no justice ain’t no peace

What you call a suspect all of us will call a human being
