M- THE WAY THAT WE OPERATE
O- WHAT I WANNA DO IS GO CREATE
ALL THE WAY LIVE IS LIVE
MY LOVE IS REAL, SO I KNOW THAT I WILL SURVIVE
LET ME DELIVER THIS SERMON TO Y´ALL BOTH SIGNED AND SEALED
AND TELL YOU HOW I FEEL ABOUT KEEPING IT REAL
I DON´T WANNA HEAR THAT CATCH-PHRASE IN MY EARS NO MORE
IT´S BEEN SAID SO MANY TIMES THAT IT´S HARD TO KEEP SCORE
THE BUZZWORD DON´T APPLY TO SPEAKERS OF RHYME
THEY´RE STAYING POOR AND RIGHTEOUS AN INCH ABOVE THE POVERTY LINE
HOW YOU COME ACROSS WILL BE YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION
IT LASTS YOU FOR A LIFETIME BUT YOU LEARN IT IN A LESSON
SCREAMING IN A VACUUM MAKING SENSE OF THE MADNESS
ONE MAN AGAINST MASSES AND ALL I GOT IS BLACKNESS
I QUIETLY OBSERVE CAUSE I KNOW I GOTTA FIGHT ON
I´M THE LONE GUNMAN AND EVERY SINGLE SUNSET I RIDE ON
WITH ALL THE POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS THAT COMES WITH THE SYNDROME
MOST OF ALL I´M STRESSED CAUSE I NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GO BACK HOME
I´M LIVING IN A SOCIETY WHERE THE MAJORITY IS AGAINST VARIETY
DIVERSITY IS THE CURSE OF LIFE A CHALLENGE TO MY SOBRIETY
M- THE WAY THAT WE OPERATE
O- WHAT I WANNA DO IS GO CREATE
ALL THE WAY LIVE IS LIVE
MY LOVE IS REAL, SO I KNOW THAT I WILL SURVIVE
M- THE WAY THAT WE OPERATE
O- WHAT I WANNA DO IS GO CREATE
ALL THE WAY LIVE IS LIVE
MY LOVE IS REAL, SO I KNOW THAT I WILL SURVIVE
WHY BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN SAFE AND SOUND?
AND TAKE THE ROAD LESS TRAVELLED? NO, THAT´S JUST TOO PROFOUND
THE COURTEOUS AND PEACEFUL TYPES THEY NEED TO KNOW BETTER
CAUSE I DON´T BELIEVE THE HYPE SO I´M NOT GONNA GO GET A FRESH-OUT-THE-BOX POSITIVE POINT OF VIEW
WE IN THE MINORITY AND THAT MEANS THAT WE THE FEW
AND THEY GOT US SEEING STARS FROM ALL THE GOD-DAMNED BEATDOWNS
AND IN THE STREETS WE´RE TAKING IT SERIOUS- ROUND FOR ROUND
SELF-DEFENCE IS INTELLIGENCE AS WE PROCEED IN THIS DIRECTION
CAUTION IS COMMON SENSE AND IN THIS HOUR WE NEED PROTECTION
WE GETTING TREATED LIKE THE SCUM OF THE EARTH
SPENDING ALMOST EVERY WAKING MOMENT TRYING TO PROVE OUR WORTH
GETTING NO LOVE FOR THE LABOR JUST A JUDAS KISS
NOW CONSIDERED A TRAITOR- WAIT A MINUTE THAT´S LUDICROUS
I´M GONNA HAVE TO CHALLENGE THE OPPOSITION BEG TO DIFFER YET AGAIN
THE SOUND OF MY THOUGHTS RELIEVING TENSION TO THE BITTER END
I FOLLOW THE WISDOM OF THE GOLDEN RULE
THE HARD KNOCKS OF LIFE THAT STILL KEEPING ME COOL
ALL HAIL THE SECOND SON OF THE SECOND SON
STEADY ON THE JOB UNTIL THE DAMAGE OF DEPRESSION IS DONE
I´M NEVER GETTIN GID OF THAT CHIP ON MY SHOULDER
STILL FEELING IMMATURE EVEN THOUGH I´VE GOTTEN OLDER
I´M THE FIRST AND THE LAST LIKE ALL THE OTHERS BEFORE ME
A RECIPE FOR DISASTER HOPE YOU CAN IGNORE ME
M- THE WAY THAT WE OPERATE
O- WHAT I WANNA DO IS GO CREATE
ALL THE WAY LIVE IS LIVE
MY LOVE IS REAL, SO I KNOW THAT I WILL SURVIVE
M- THE WAY THAT WE OPERATE
O- WHAT I WANNA DO IS GO CREATE
