[Verse 1:]
In this life
Violence is nothing new
For Treyvon
There's nothing you could do
For Eric Garner
There's nothing you could do
Harembe get shot
Y'all riot in the zoo?
Id stay quiet
If i was you
Energy vampires
The twilight crew
Unlimited campfires
My camps live too
We kickin the satires
When i slide through
I need me a jar full tho
Bout ta roll a cigar
Of Mt Kilimanjaro
Civilizations came and went
We never payed attention
To what was
Hidden in the star load
Objects reappearing
Out of black holes
Here on earth n***as tripped
The sphynx had a black nose
Orginal man
Took a piss in the sand
Yet from the concrete
Grew a Black rose
Symbolism is
More than tradition
Its magic n***a
Manipulate universal
Laws of attraction
n***a
Universe got everything
You can
Ask for n***a
Even the
Beauty of bu*terflies
Came from
Caterpillars
[Hook:]
All my people really seem to know is pain
Quick to sell souls for a gold chain
Art shows hearts on the canvas
Portraits hang
Reflecting life
Behind gold frames
Mirror mirror
I need my vision clearer
Please tell me
Please tell me
How much time
We got left?
[Verse 2:]
Modern prophets
Prescriptions giving
n***as visions
Cursive from a
Medicine man
Have a n***a wishing
That there really was
A god - angels wasn't fiction
But that would also Validate a
Satan as a snake Hissing
Innate vision
Scapegoat willing
Do As thou wilt then
Then you can play the victim
Toned out cynics
Turned out critics
Now everybody standing
Wit they Phones out Flicking
You can be drowning in need
Your just a post on the feed
You slit your wrist til it bleeds
They just encourage with glee
Just to get likes on the scene
That don't provide any cream
So n***a stop stressing
Listen to the lesson
The answers lie
In your
Reflections
Symbolism is
More than tradition
Its magic n***a
Manipulate universal
Laws of attraction
n***a
Universe got everything
You can
Ask for n***a
Even the
Beauty of bu*terflies
Came from
Caterpillars
[Hook:]
All my people really seem to know is pain
Quick to sell souls for a gold chain
Art shows hearts on the canvas
Portraits hang
Reflecting life
Behind gold frames
Mirror mirror
I need my vision clearer
Please tell me
Please tell me
How much time
We got left?
