Method Man - Opera lyrics

[Verse 1: Green] Can't match my style and interest I got rich thoughts and a violent instinct That's just how I distinguish the bad from the good and the smart and ignant Straight rock dude bar my pigment I'm blending the new wave with the vintage I'm a prototype, you's a mark up I start this sh** like a f**in' aardvark Since the government seems to mark us I try to stay hidden in a green apartment Working tryna be an artist Control all minds when they hear me talking Got a problem with authority But the neighbourhood cops love R D G L D G R N 40 n***as nearly died last week So I count is as a win any day I breathe [Sample: Zack De La Rocha] So long as that system's only true motive is profit interest and not the maintenance and betterment of the population, to meeting human needs, then that society should not stand; it should be challenged and questioned and overthrown [Verse 2: Green] Fact is that I won't be voting' till the poverty gap has slim proportions Foolish just like the notion of marching for peace while they making corpses Kids dumb from the lack of schooling I don't blame them 'cause the sh** is boring Found out I had a knack for touring so I make ways from VA to Zurich Bang bang and flee, she watched her Grandson die at a jamboree You don't know? [?] Some badly eat, you want you and your friends to survive like a manatee [?] You want what? [?] [Verse 3: Method Man] (Smoke that sh**) (Red, Gold, and Green n***a) Meth Man not one to [?] My team break bad, I'm a walking psycho No net needed when I walk a tightrope, no typo You a lightweight, no lipo Light work, getting lit, no light show [?] IG, I don't do it for likes though And Snow white, don't be k**ing my high hoe Hi-ho we can k** it like KYBO Here's a middle finger to 5-0 I flow, smoking that hydro, survivo [?] Put the gun in your pie-hole I go harder than Pablo these narcos are in my cheddar But this kinda cheese is not yours k**er Bees we got soul [?] [Verse 4: Green] Now I can't strengthen economies Or make sure that the water that we drink is clean I can't stop fights in the Middle East Can never make sure that the whole world eats Military unit will never retreat Chicago schools gonna still have beef Palestinian and you're missing your kids Stay fighting for the Gaza Strip I can put my words together like this The words that I say just won't change sh** Hospital rooms still gonna have patients Blacks in the womb still gonna deal with racists Ain't bomb did I ever defuse From doing no harm that the terrorist choose Only thing that I know I can do is die like the motherf**ers want me to
