Dizzle Morrison - The Cave lyrics

Intro: I was born in chains where the shadows cast Figurines for beings under the hour gla** Broke free went through the fire and followed path To a place I could reflect on being free at last Goodbye ignorance Verse 1: Only God could have brought me to this But I didn't know that it was going to cost me my bliss Cost me kisses from chicks and hand slaps from my nigs Cause it took me from the cool crowd to the misfits What is this? I come back to set us free, tell us everything I've seen Expand on our beliefs, lessons to lessen grief, fruit from the wisdom tree A boost so we can see over walls we never breached An extra inch to reach the evidence we seek The messages never preached and what the symbols mean Thought I'd be blessed and cherished for sharing the esoteric Now I'm standing here embarra**ed at how foolish I seem Cause they're like ni**a PLEASE... Sit yo' cray a** down and hit this tree We hate science, math, and geometry and if WE Want to hear 'bout stars we got TV All we saying is, how you rap won't get you major my nig Trivium, quadrivium, what you majored in Trig We know triggers and how they squeeze, not trigonometry But if we want to hear that bullsh** leave it to Dizz (Talking) Verse 2: I'm standing here spellbound, I can't understand how God's people can live so aggressively hell bound Hated from hair down to the bottom of calloused feet Unconcerned with calories bringing our health down So much po-tential, but po' mentals Got us in life's scantron test with no pencil Got us with air pistols up against air missiles Everything that they air causes terror it's there to pit you Up against human nature, negative energy Breeding with fertile minds birthing more negativity Heathens reciting lines turning neighbors to enemies And if we're all enemies there can never be synergy (fading: and if there's no synergy there can never be harmony) OKAY we get it Dizz, but it's fate it just is what it is You gotta get yours and I gotta get for me and my kids I'm gone do what I gotta do, if it ain't involving you Then why the hell you care 'bout how I'm making my ends Yeah I rap about stupid sh**, be on the block moving bricks Pimping on hoes, or running through all the groupie chicks But I'm making a living, so I ain't seeing your vision Motherf** Knowledge and Wisdom if it ain't paying rent (Talking) Verse 3: Well okay... But what if I have something to say What do you gain from all of the destruction you paint Minimal pay and loss of what the Creator gave Theater ways, you got to act like something you ain't That ain't the life you want is it? If so just disregard my whole visit I'll bother you none (I heard) enough of the enlightenment, light up a blunt You been different ever since you came up out of the Sun Into the cave (Talking)
