Tribe Mafia - THE TRUTH PART 2 lyrics
[TRELLE:] This world is black and white The blood that I bleed is red The same as those who are slaughtered That blood's thicker than water.. I swam until I drowned My eyes fell off the goal.. I looked for fame and fortune Not knowing Jesus is home.. I knew I didn't want to be the same I guess I never understood the game The way they play it is ignorance Basic belligerence Nothing ever brought about or even sparked a change f** your aspirations... Is basically what they're telling us Everyday jailing us Now the system is failing us Ive never been... The type of man... To take up offense But f** it I'm breaking down the fence And if I'm seen as a n***a due to color of skin You underestimate everything that my mind can give The opportunity... Ideas pursuing me... Viewing me like a movie screen Soon to be nothing new to me So to speak if I'm due to meet The noose upon the tree, metaphorically I will hang Stereotypically, I should already be in a grave... Save... Your mind and body with the blood of Christ I got a rear view hoping my past is out of sight I'm dying from pressure living up to this kind of hype And now I'm chokin on blunts just tryna catch a flight... I see my d**h as a pa**age way to another life And life is a gift, it's never promised thru the night In light of situations demonstration is the key They say if you have faith, all you need is a mustard seed Initially it was bittersweet Now it's meant to be In deceit of a time of the energy That had entered me My enemies were the parasites Trynna hinder me I am to dream of something much bigger like I am M.L. King But then my Malcolm X seems to have got the best of me The rest of me was clouded by evil thoughts that the devil speaks And where I come from it's all red like the blood that leaks And if you think I'm bluffing, your body is lying at my feet.. You see a constitution?... Ha.. I see a fine illusion Painted like Mona Lisa at my confusion I tried to view it so differently that my mind construed it An opportunist, I'd take the risk even if I lose it I ride around in a four dour, my four four Stores more than the storage, identity will deserve it Unleash my anger then serve it, no more trynna reserve it I work it, then I reverse it like parked car, your mortgage Then pay it off with your life, I lost all Respect for you I have a sec or two Tell me what's really true I never really do Do the usual... I bet you never been on a level Where time stops just so you can try to settle Instead you meddle, awarded like you're given a medal And now you pedal to reach your destination The devastation when you realize your heart is vacant... Uhh... My constitution... Ohh..... Say why... Say why... Say why... Ohh... They tried... They tried... They tried... And everybody that I meet.... They lie... They lie... And it'll just happen all again... And it'll just happen all again The evil repeats in history, the system is made to beat weak... So it'll just happen all again... Again... Again Truth...
