about

Social commentary regarding the rap game and society in general...

lyrics

Neva been a slave, my mind, and body, clear and free
Still I grab a mic, and go to work, wheneva I hear a beat
Knowing information’s not always what it appears to be
And neither am I….. but still they try to mirror me
They say it’s hearsay, I say it’s heresy
In the name of Jah, I continue on fearlessly
But fear is deep, cuz Satan knows his posse’s near defeat
Proly why I share the truth, and they call it conspiracy

Drones, flying over, clones, coming in our homes
Thinking kill or be killed, cuz it’s in our chromosomes
On a quest to be defiant, they’re all giants, we’re just gnomes
Leading us in, to nuclear battle, and supplying us all with stones
It’s the game of thrones, on ya TV, in ya headphones
1% blowup, 99% get blown
All up in ya grill when you wanna get left ‘lone
And, when you actually need ‘em, they ghost, they get gone
Ain’t no TANIF, ain’t no WIC, ain’t no SNAP, ain’t no FEMA
Just a club fulla tricks, and trap fulla dealers
Materialism’s, been around since “My ADIDAS”
And we act, like slaves, so slaves, is how they treat us
Most don’t wanna hear the truth, cuz it’s too hard to handle
They were happy in the dark, barely lit like a candle
Rather hear ‘bout celebrities, than ‘bout government scandals
In the Garden of Eden, teeth in the forbidden apple

Neva been a slave, my mind, and body, clear and free
Still I grab a mic, and go to work, wheneva I hear a beat
Knowing information’s not always what it appears to be
And neither am I….. but still they try to mirror me
They say it’s hearsay, I say it’s heresy
In the name of Jah, I continue on fearlessly
But fear is deep, cuz Satan knows his posse’s near defeat
Proly why I share the truth, and they call it conspiracy

Beefing with eachother, we just cattle in the slaughterhouse
They using drugs, to suppress, all the thoughts aroused
They pound our will away, till all we got’s an ounce
Blood sweat and tears for years, no wonder these authors drown
Tryna feed my family, not in it, for ooohs ahhs and wows
Made a little green, I once was yellow, now I’m stopping doubts
Expect the heartless to gather, whenever a profit counts
Big Brother’s been watching us, ever since the Holy Father bounced
Ya they’re mighty, but our record’s Epic like we Modest mouse
They keep us high, thinking we fly, cuz we lost in clouds
They give us sexy vixens, when all we want’s a spouse
Carrying round a guilty conscience, like we forgot our vows
They should carry round a mirror, so they can watch their mouths
Babies talking, children walking, concert full of jocking crowds
Pop music, killing the industry literal popping sounds
Something like a pharaoh, slaves’ll never reach a common ground

Neva been a slave, my mind, and body, clear and free
Still I grab a mic, and go to work, wheneva I hear a beat
Knowing information’s not always what it appears to be
And neither am I….. but still they try to mirror me
They say it’s hearsay, I say it’s heresy
In the name of Jah, I continue on fearlessly
But fear is deep, cuz Satan knows his posse’s near defeat
Proly why I share the truth, and they call it conspiracy

The thirst for power leaves the masses as dry as the desert
The average citizen is no match to the minds of the clever
With the might of a scepter, sitting higher than ever
On a pyramid looking down like the flight of the zephyr
Those who fight back, get out casted like the plight of a leper
Going blind from the effort, now that’s a sight to remember
Hard to swallow the price, like the insides of a pepper
But one that’s based on reality, that’s the life I endeavor

Neva been a slave, my mind, and body, clear and free
Still I grab a mic, and go to work, wheneva I hear a beat
Knowing information’s not always what it appears to be
And neither am I….. but still they try to mirror me
They say it’s hearsay, I say it’s heresy
In the name of Jah, I continue on fearlessly
But fear is deep, cuz Satan knows his posse’s near defeat
Proly why I share the truth, and they call it conspiracy
