Obsessive compulsive symmetry Scattered drunken epiphany Swimming with sacred imagery Drum addiction since ninety three Try to keep it honest no lying Guess that's the pride in me Fulfill the prophecy So my pops can see that I got this g It's what you make it If you fake it You won't make it far Flip on instrumentals While l o kicking that language arts It's no coincidence we linking up We be connected like we syncing up Tip toes while we sneaking up on your girl With ill intentions to beat it up Spit that fuckery and the ratchet bitches just eat it up Andele andele for my spanish chicas Let's speed it up Stuck my expletive in the grass at the golf course I'm teeing up Losing my shit I used to read the news when I shit Need a muse in this bitch Abusive as shit I refuse to be amused by this shit I just got to find the tone I just got to find the tone Yeah sounds good to me I can tell you how it feels to learn your lesson Battle with depression All throughout your adolescence While they telling you to suck it up And that everything you touch You’re going to f*ck it up And how you’ll never be successful So don't press your luck The degradation of my self esteem And how I used to look to Martin But that ended cause they killed the dream Love and hate i’m always in between Knowing what i’m seeing is a trap It isn’t what it seems I used to watch my mother getting choked out Til her eyes poked out Bugging like she was coked out Had her feeling low without a way out Froze could never break out Foes could never take out Imagine what that did to this little black boy Anger started growing Broke his little black toys Turned away from love Only want to destroy Hatred in his heart Stole his little black joy Once a loving child Now he only harbors malice Pretending to be strong When all he really feels is sadness Learned to hide his pain But it took a lot of practice Hoping that his passion Would take him around the atlas Teachers say he’s bright but he struggles with authority And that his lack of focus Shows a gap in his priorities Didn’t study much but always managed to excel Always showed respect Because his mother taught him well Butterfly at home But in the world he’s in a shell Protecting him from hell And in a way i guess Protecting him from self Protecting him from cells Protecting him from jail Because we know what really happens When that melanin rebels Born a Gemini No need for friends It’s just him and I Always by my side And down to ride My twin and I Never sleeps he keeps a watchful eye for homicide Or any circumstances that coincide with our demise He swings a sword just like a samurai Weary katana gets rejuvenized While fallen foes get eulogized It’s do or die You or I Suit and tie or shooting time You decide now choose a side Passion and health or fashion and wealth Make the choice get to know thyself Passion and health or fashion and wealth Make the choice get to know thyself Passion and health or fashion and wealth Make the choice get to know thyself Passion and health or fashion and wealth Make the choice get to know thyself I just want to feel the love I’m not worried bout the fake ones Rappers want a buzz But lack the heart to go create one They do it just because I just want to educate sons and daughters Build their self esteem to be a fortress Emphasize the real to help them paint a better portrait Recognizing self and what you’re worth is so important Live to your potential Only one life is afforded Learn to self sustain Don’t let that vision be distorted yeah Passion and health or fashion and wealth Make the choice get to know thyself Passion and health or fashion and wealth Make the choice get to know thyself Passion and health or fashion and wealth Make the choice get to know thyself Passion and health or fashion and wealth Make the choice get to know thyself
