Wale - Conundrum lyrics

"oh oh oh oh Yeah Oh oh oh oh Yeah Oh oh oh oh Yeah Oh oh oh oh" I turned my tv on For the first time in some months To see some bull sh** on These n***as walking with c*nts These n***as losing their lives Cops flexing their guns A Race War In my sight Or it's already begun Government gathering Guns My n***as Looking For Clips Feeling Like Home Runs Hoping they don't get hit Hoping they don't get clipped Yeah Cause Black Lives Matter Said that with some pride Til Homie pulled out the hammer He pressed me for my bread He's Struggling for pampers His baby slept on his bed His sheets only get damper The Hood don't got no Santa But when will we see When we only believe what gets caught on camera Babylon, aka the city of confusion Palimpsest throughout the great vine and now i see infusion Realities now illusions People lost in confusion Could be as blunt as a dime But i think I'd rather allude it Moral , more and values Altered by these depictions American dreams and how you Eventually spend your riches What it takes to go and get it Haters, and losing friendships With people who hate to see you Become someone who's different Does money change them or does it change you ? Scattered faces different places Thats what change do The same rope we climb up on to elevate ourselves they'll take it and tie a noose just to hang you Hang you But chase success I know you willing Cause a lifestyle different from yours is so appealing These Images pumped in our mind steady instilling Roles for young men, young women and all our children Conundrum! Conundrum! f** I gotta spell it or something n***a? Conundrum! (Yeah) Conundrum! So as I walk through the valley of the shadow of d**h I shall fear no evil But this sh** ain't see through Some get poked with needles Snort white like The Beetles Some love that money Some roll that weedo Hoping that this hold on life Don't slip and free you Flirting with Kin Evils Can't let them beat you A few love the game Most battling demons Know em by they name No time to live in shame I get to bustin and squeezing I get to bustin they leaking I get to palming they reaping I seen them n***as they creeping Told him gimme a reason This trigger finger ain't stable n***a I'll do em in Vain With this trigger Im Able To take a life, Cuz I Cain n***a f** is you saying Man this clip hold sins So wear yo vest like a chain And get low like you praying Cause this thunder is coming And this lightening is slaying You either dying or running n***a Cause when the time comes are you elevating? Are you... Left Here to die, yeah That Revelation I'm giving you armageddon is it resignating? Is it heaven or hell you're anticipating? Play these words back loud Imma wake a nation I build these words like bricks But nah i ain't a Mason Put the flame to the spliff the bottom burns like Satan Use your brain in this music n***a You might even lose it n***a Conundrum! Conundrum! f** I gotta spell it or something n***a? Conundrum! (Yeah) Conundrum!
