Statik Selektah - Telescopes lyrics

[Hook] [Reks] Why you wanna roll them Dice? Don't you wanna see what Hope brings? Careful before you wReck your life See through my, telescope eyes I can see the future, I I can see the future When a change gon' come? When a change gon' come? I'd like to share with your telescopes [Verse One] [Reks] Peace to my n***as livin' oh so hood Rest in peace too early cause they know no good I know sh** ain't democratic in our demographic The wars on outside, the streets tragic Street's average, about a, k** in a minute Don't need to see overseas d**h, we livin' in it In tenement climates, violence or business Jails higher the d**h tolls, cops hire to witness Reason why so many kids is gettin' buried They all carry same heat cops on beats carry We don't need momma worried sh** ain't necessary We need new leaders, modern revolutionary The revolution televised, should we be surprised? Rather watch Flavor Of Love than realize Pre-Armageddon happenin' right before our eyes Technology disconnect me from outside [Hook] [Reks] Why you wanna roll them Dice? Don't you wanna see what Hope brings? Careful before you wReck your life See through my, telescope eyes I can see the future, I I can see the future When a change gon' come? When a change gon' come? I'd like to share with your telescopes [Verse Two] [John Hope] I wipe the sweat off my dome, spit my phlegm on the beat In the street They fight cold wars with heat Believe, the more drama, the more karma It's not a myth, I was Hope before Obama With the visions of a world where we educate the careless I never lift weights but I raise awareness I'm strong My third eye see my first born quiver Math cla**, hara** when he first heard 'n***a' I said, "It's not the first nor the last." But bored in cla**, use your brain like a shotgun blast And the impact will keep 'em intact when they provokin' 'em I know it's in arms reach, society Utopian Now how you like them apples, pears and oranges? You didn't think that this n***a here from Providence could change the world As I stand in the session I'm not poor but I beg the questions So answer [Hook] [Reks] Why you wanna roll them Dice? Don't you wanna see what Hope brings? Careful before you wReck your life See through my, telescope eyes I can see the future, I I can see the future When a change gon' come? When a change gon' come? I'd like to share with your telescopes [Verse Three] [Lucky Dice] I can see through my telescope to right where you are Hey, hey, hey you're a super superstar Maybe if you believe that you are Then you'll find that you'll go far But you're young and you still wanna bug out 20 years later you'll find yourself strung out Cause you made them bad choices Them bad choices They was just bad habits Truthfully you could be the illest if you wanted to, that's my witness But it's a future where nobody listens and so it stays distant Gone and forgotten, but it could be different To find a way to them brighter days Use your mind it'll light the way That's what I like to say Too many youngins out there dyin' on a righteous day Just tryin' to get they money right [Hook] [Reks] Why you wanna roll them Dice? Don't you wanna see what Hope brings? Careful before you wReck your life See through my, telescope eyes I can see the future, I I can see the future When a change gon' come? When a change gon' come? I'd like to share with your telescopes
