Mr. Wise - Anamnesis lyrics

[Verse: PHZ-Sicks] In the end, what do the accolades bring And what the f** is a crown if it doesn't have a king What's a song if its unheard when the cage bird sings What's the big picture if we don't see the small things In the details, I know you mean well But my own mind at times has become my personal hell Born, uh, trapped in the cell of a black male From the prejudice of this world which became our own mental jail I lost my faith now With these scrambled thoughts in my head Trying not to go over the edge like Junior Seau I know that invoice of success can come any day now So I do whatever it takes, whatever it may pay, pal On this stage now, being in tune with what I'm making It's hard to go forward when you don't know which way that you're facing Embracing the unknown, as I go on Born on the 2-3 so I've always been in my zone Born on the 2-3 so I've been ill from the jump, man Since our people called on the dope man Strung out on the streets without even a rope, man And hoping that the spoon could give a lil' hope, man To take that pain away, but that pain would stay And affect the kids that it left behind and made today Which in affect would f** their kids up in a similar way And we wonder and complain about how things are today What a shame, but you don't wanna hear this (Naw) You wanna hear that ill sh** (yes) That PHZ-Sicks just k** this That PHZ-Sicks went in sh** Well, here it is Uh, uh, uh You see, now I get it, now that my ego's missing Business meetings in Venice, that's my form of powering tripping Yes I have to say this, no longer will I take less Damn skippy, n***as will have negative views towards you when they view is bay less No oceans, no paychecks, just envy and hatred You could've took over the world using all that time you invested That sh** was quite impressive, but should I catch my breath Or should I just drown in my own success They say you either make it or die trying Whether it's a mountain of fortune or a ride to my destiny, I'm steady climbing f**, I'm not trying To hold a sermon But I can't teach you, n***a, if I'm still learning Just trying to do more in the morning so I can see less mourning Moet pain coming out the soul of my people when its pouring Downtrodden, call us rotten, America's problem When it's at home, that usually needs the solving Often, we blame others then trying to own it But we on now, n***a, so we living in the moment Whether good or bad, turn it in to gold whenever we own it We just trying to live in the moment Whether good or bad we turn it in to gold whenever we own it We just trying to living in the moment Uh, uh, say this is my moment Uh, uh, say this is my moment Uh, uh, say this is my moment Uh, uh, say this is my..
