[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?
