put me on stage and I'll change the world, period
I'm ready to die for my words and I'm serious
being alive is a funny thing if you think about it
are you really alive if you don't think about living?
or are you just another zombie walking the streets leaching
off of the nearest gift, a zombie that doesn't live
he just takes and takes, until there's no brains left,
he devours the thoughts
i'm starving, I just woke up and already I'm lost
what the fuck man?
Alex Mazz... my man should be on world tour
but it seems the world ignores what's most important
look at the wars, who gets more than a portion of the proceeds?
you're god damn right it's not a charity
what's helping you and what's helping me?
I'm killing myself just to be here
The sound is astounding
drowning out the pounding of all this
construction around me, we seek bigger and better
climbing ladders of success, filling each space, isn't a great?
a place for each of us, until there's a house where my backyard was
now the birds are gone, look what I wake up to
it's all heavy duty, like laughter isn't always from happiness
sometimes it's to hide what really is happening
you wanna ask me this
if I really care if people wanna buy my shit?
I'm out to break this monopoly
using hip-hop to expose this hypocrisy
people got a lot of dreams but they're too busy sleeping
too worried about making money instead of making love free
put me with NaS and AZ, Cormega & Foxy status Firm
what I learn I can't return
you can't buy my cost
you can't sign my thoughts
i'm ready to die for my words
because I believe in what's right for this world
the people in power won't like when we learn
that the dollar is hours and our time is earned
i'm not trying to sell records, i'm not jealous of what's better
I give respect but I see so many waste a choice for a check
it seems to get big you've gotta say what's already said
it's so repetitive, rehashed trash
like my last weeks blunt ashes and I'm tryin' to quit
i'm so tired of the bullshit, what happened to the rest?
B.I.G., L, Pac and Pun, they're all dead, it's just one big coincidence huh?
Nah... it's bigger than east verse west
I went to school and passed all my history tests
you ever heard of divide & conquer?
ever wonder why one side is dying in hunger
and the other is given enough just to keep then under control?
was it cocaine, crack or adderrol, everyone's getting high
the only difference is if it's from the block or prescribed
I can't take it
the pharmacy's laughing to the bank
I think about the working class how we've all had ashy knuckles
but they don't want you to know that they just want you to hate
and only trust your own man
god damn I can't take it
inside it's a soothing beautiful day
outside it's not the same
