Intro
Yeah, let's put it in perspective
Ay, listen…
Verse 1
I got people looking up to my skin color in society
But when they see what is in my blood they think of me as rivalry
I never thought I'd have to face the day when my face is way more important than what is inside of me
Everywhere I look I see these different kinds of people
Sometimes they start a riot wishing they were equal
But if you use violence then you are just as feeble-minded
As the corrupt legals you fight with
I could give a f** if you're Sméagol or believe in a steeple, just keep the peace between people and evil. Please
I'm an American, please don't elect Trump or he will take away my peoples' heritage
We can't let him inherit this
And being honest, I'm not too thrilled with Hillary
Stuck with two terrible candidates
Makes me want to reach my hand into cannabis
Try to figure out a plan to save the planet from ourselves
Guns are k**ing us more than cancer is
People get k**ed for much less
I wish people would just hug and punch less
I wish no cop would shoot a black man acting suspect
I wish no man would ever violate another when they are upset
Go tell your mother that you want to cut flesh
Please remember that face when you confess...
Bridge 1
The dollar bill
That is no mothers dream
No mother should have to hear that thing
No brother, no mother, no lover, no father, no sister
That shock collar will wither
Put it in perspective
Understand I may talk my sh**, but I am more intellective
A spectrum of a collective
Have you ever?
Verse 2
Have you ever had a gun held up to your face?
I think I escaped because of my skin, not race
I ran away into the shade of an alley
I broke down and cried from shame of the slang that came from that man's fangs, I was so unhappy
I could not believe what I heard in my ears, I got rallied
I learned to yearn that fear
And turn that burn into the rear, his days are tallied
In the Cascade valley, north of Cali
My stomach still growls from that foul
The Internet gave the world agility
Yet made our intellect stand still
Now we're in a web and there's spiders coming
Citizens think of them when those sirens are coming
I won't run
To a devil that is no fun
A resentful rebel is easy prey
You might as well just sleep and lay
Here I stand to reach for great
With a hand on my testicles and an open lung
I work each and every day
To flip this world until the oceans have sunk
(In motion I trust)
I want to live to hear my children sing
Hold my hand across the world until we build a ring
Can you imagine a world where we're all healthy? That would be the illest thing
This vision burned in the back of eyes, when I lie asleep I can still feel the sting
I'm a real life king
That is why you are listening
Do you remember what happened the last time someone stood up and said "I have a dream!"
Bridge 2
If I die tomorrow, who will remember me for the bad that I have done?
If I die before I'm young, please don't be sad or show sorrow
If I die before I'm young, please don't be sad or show sorrow
And if I die tomorrow, who will remember me for the bad that I have done?
(Nicky is here
The Young God
…for the Record
I've been working at this pace
I must make a family name
I must make a family
My family is here forever, forever
There is a fountain of youth inside of my tooth
Sip it like juice, that's the truth)
