9th Wonder - Enigma (The Truth) lyrics

[Verse] When I flow, it's like +TNT for the Brain+ I +Push the Limit+ on emcees when I bring the pain My rhymes open +The Gate+, and inside it, +The Eyes of Truth+ And in those eyes, the +Look of Today+ is corrupting the youth It's my +Endless Quest+ to re-enlighten Hip-Hop's mind There are many unsigned artists, and I'm the +Third of Its Kind+ Psych—I meant the last, the Ghost of Hip-Hop's past Possessed me to put mainstream artists on blast About to +Return+ them +To+ their +Innocence+, their existence is insolence Hip-Hop deserves Deliverance, erase all the ignorance Planted by the mainstream, only caring about C.R.E.A.M Like it's only a get-rich-quick scheme for fiends Greed is a Deadly Sin, the message is never clearer They better take a good look at +The Screen Behind The Mirror+ These are words from the +Silent Warrior+, so take heed Anyone who wants to hear the truth, this is what you need Because there has to be some +Silence+ that +Must Be Heard+ From this absurd pop-hop that keeps going word-for-word And for that, there's just one thing I'd like to say: +Why!+ Do I have to watch the youth be corrupted by my own eye? It's just crazy for them to be +Knocking on Forbidden Doors+ Of their life, cause one day, their bodies will hit the floors Or wind up in a cell, it's like we're living in Hell This is more than just the truth that I'm trying to tell
