Zen - Complex lyrics
[Verse 1: MD] Doing metaphysics with Metta World Peace In Buddhist meditation, I'm not a medic; MD is not a doctor My therapeutic music giving listeners a Detox And when I spit, my verbiage coinciding with the beat rock Sometimes I sit and question everything To cover our existence in a game I know I'll never win I mean, you never know if you don't ask, right? I must've been a great philosopher in my past life At 16, thought I was balling with my racks light My trigger finger itching but I never got the blast right Sat and thought about the world in my asylum Till I hopped up out the boxes, and my lyrics got inside 'em I used to write about the presence of our presidents And how the government is putting poison in the medicine But on the surface, I was stupid for the hell of it And now I got a tape; and we know rapping's what the premise is [Hook: Zen & MD] They say I'm complex, like a magazine Walking through a world, we don't really know anything [x3] ... they say I'm complex, like a magazine I made it for the crazy kids just like me!
