Proof - Shady lyrics

[Verse 1: Proof] If the fool and the wise man argue, who can tell them apart? Apparently the on-looker wasn't smart He called a fool a fool by appearance And a fashionable man wise by image, now think, don't that limit? Don't think of the thought as thoughtless regardless the clothes The fool was the wiser, for making the wise man bark Eyes get parked on the world as the vibes get dark As the lover's soul is taken from a crying heart Forgetting love is like remembering someone you never knew Or believing that you can take your revenue To heaven, who sees the Earth is the garden It's amazing how the solution can worsen the problem Like divorce is the future to some marriages Witness a terrorist bomb Iraqis till our heritage Mental awareness is needed, don't read it Just listen and heed it so please believe it my n***as [Hook x2: Proof] Now ain't nothing more shady than the music biz We got gangsta images confusing kids Everytime I take the game I see the rules get flipped So, take my advice' cause I ain't using it [Verse 2: Proof] Conference my thoughts, nonsense is lost Channeled into energy, to keep my conscious a force The hood is as good as its last victim You might as well join the Klan and laugh with them The a**-kissing of a land that raped you A land that makes you, study the virtue of words that ain't true Thank you Malcolm, thank you Jesus To build your mental they both gave us sacred pieces Hatred ceases one moment, when at gun-point Pointed the gun, take lives, now he doing one hundred Plus he left us ten kids that never knew daddy Ever so badly, they'll never grow happy, sh** I am the truth, this can't be a single Cause you can't dance and mingle, I'll make you do the lady tingle I am before and after, beginning and end Not trying to sound deep, this is the venom within [Hook x2]
