Can't comprehend, dividends end friendships
Infinite kinships, dismissed amidst dead presidents exist
Poor peeps is pissed, the rich benefit taxes
Pa**es all access lavish, extracting cabbage from famished rabbits Crime runnin' rampant attracting active young minds
Habit cash a magnet, magnetizing addicts havin'
And who haven't ends, back-stabbing friends
Women jockin' who got it, no Benz, no yacht kid Nah, kid pockets get clocked, kid, before ya knock it, uh
Nowadays we're raised to praise it, save it if phrase fits
Unappraised gaze enslaved by crave depraving sh**
And yet we livin', sittin' within a world where greed has proceeded
The act of givin' and it's a given Nowadays it seems like we in the last phase, maybe it's me
Nowadays it seems like we in the last phase, could it be? Yeah, sisters and brothers, where's the love of one another?
Discovering others of us dumber prejudice
To color, creed and religion
Driven hate within innocent children Stop the k**in', instill goodwill, we all be chillin'
Building, then seal it, surrealist revealing
Since the wheel hit, hearts conceal it
When d**h hits other men, how many feel it? Envy alive and rising, hatred has mankind declining
Keep in mind when time ends, if orange as fossil findings
Why then unkind when combined?
Vibin' peacefully is needful, regal or not, people created
Equal ain't no sequel, believe to exist the positive needed
As evil retrieves negative energy and feeds it baby peep it Nowadays it seems like we in the last phase, maybe it's me
Nowadays it seems like we in the last phase, could it be? Life ain't twice a lifetime, dice rollin', survivin'
Confined in gunfire, crime thrivin', and babies whining
Narcotics, sirens, entwined aids-related d**h findings
Eying lab mice with virus, mesmerizing minds of science Blood pressure rising, unwinding
While sippin' what could be blinding
Genocide's in cog in spots we unlikely to find in
Combined with stress, sublime bottom line forming a hybrid It's like, kid, you gotta fight it son
Weak lose and strong survive it
As pushers lure without a pause, what you diggin'
Digs in it's claws Dimes on corners offer draws, the score's uneven
Leavin' me feelin' someone's cheatin'
What we teachin' in schools been used for the wrong reasons
Defeating the purpose Nowadays it seems like we in the last phase, maybe it's me
Nowadays it seems like we in the last phase, could it be?
