[Intro]
Woooo!
Yeah... Dew McGill
Bout to get in to some sh** I hope y'all feel (ha ha)
Can you hear this sh**?
Turn me up (hey)
Turn me up (hey)
Turn me up, (uh, uh)
[Verse]
Yo
They say I'm introverted, get my energy… locally
Cause I get more power spending time less socially
Supposedly I'm boring if I don't go out and drink
Alone is where I learn my best, suggest you try rethink
I knew that long ago I had a gift but I was hazy
Cause I couldn't clear my mind with all the boozing and the blazing
Lazy, I would stay in bed a waste of time and talent
Lost without no balance, life was tragic like it's hamlet
"To be or not to be", I failed to raise the question
Smoking too much sess it had my mind strung out… depressed and
Less impressed by adolescence, feeling like I'm obsolescent
Showing much irreverence to what most would say is precious
Scared by what my life would be, how my sh** was spiralling
Out of control I might just be… living life out mindlessly
Yikes! So please don't take this sh** for granted
Cause though sometimes it's hard, you never know when you'll depart it!
That's the real sh**, not the ma** appeal sh**
Call me an idealist, as I try reveal this
Evil sh** they perpetrate to keep us in positions
Division till they conquer minds, belief in their religions
Thanks be to god, though I'm hesitant in churches
Cause I know there's evil lurking, back beyond the curtains
Working, 'til the time is right to pounce
So keep a dude like me around until they're all renounced
…Count 4,3,2,1
That's the time it takes to load a bullet in a gun
co*k it back and spray it at the ones who tried to hurt ya
But don't deal with problems like that cause we won't get any further
Treyvon martin, Michael brown, Sydney Siege and Martin Bryant
That's the sh** that happens - society is violent
Silent with the truth, crime in our environment
So it's time that we step forward and ensure we're all united
As-Salaam-Alaikum or peace be unto you
But, please don't be mistaken I ain't m**m nor a j**
A Hindu or a Sikh…though it is the truth I seek
Ain't Buddhist or a Christian, cause I don't think one religion
Has the answers somehow hidden, on the page of something written
By some men who were all living in an age of great division
Listen... hear me out, i ain't dissing no one's faith
But what I think I'm trying to say is that there isn't just one way
Many paths towards it, so I keep my mind wide open
In the hoping that I find my own, before my curtain's closing
'Til I do, remain humble, careful with words spoken
Quoting those of all devotions if it's peace that they're promoting
I mean peace for all, not just those who look… like me
Black or yellow, brown or white, I want you to be free
From these hateful doctrines, that they use to try n split us
So… they can profit waging wars upon the life god gifts us
Is he with us? Or are we on our own?
Children in this universe without a chaperone
We may never know, so our faith becomes important
Like.. when the revolution comes and it don't go reported
Ignore it at your peril, man, it's happening, "I swear"
All 4 one ain't here, but moon and stars, they make it clear
Fear is an emotion that we need to overcome
Or everyone just may succumb before their race is run
Use your perseverance, break the hindrance of your sinning
Whether villain or familia know that they're all in this with ya
All of us are going through these trials and tribulations
With temptations laced to take us from the faith we have to make it
How ya gonna hate em then?... we're all clearly similar
Different habits, different names…one truth keeps it simpler
Listen up! Lock this verse down in your cognisance
I just dropped some wisdom with a steady stream of consciousness!
[Outro]
(Ha ha ha ha ha ha)
Dew McGill
On a steady stream, on a stready stream (yeah!!!)
So we might have got a little bit dark
But that's alright
Sometimes you've got to expose the darkness, to see the light!
Peace
