Dissonance
What it is? BMB, Wayne Tweed
Huh!?
No, I don't mind who I've become
No, I'm not perfect, I'm respected more than some, huh?
I am the witness
You see, they live this life unrestricted
No guidance, no symptoms and they serve as victims
In a world it seems like the civil nature is missing
You can get back at me like my actions offensive
I've done nothing wrong but breathe, share my opinions and leave
Forced to live so uneased because I'm seen as naïve
But I've spent time on my knees looking for answers unseen
I put in time to believe salvation can be retrieved
So please, be at peace, its the we who believe all it takes to wreck your world is a stiff breeze, huh?
I've never been one to disregard the cards dealt into my life by the hands of God
So I look unto the stars, praise Allah
I've lived to see another day, I've come so far
So if what you said is meaningful, what you said was true won't the listeners of Fresh Crew play the Scoob-Doo?
And RapGenius the simple bars to form complex clues?
And you too, trill just for listening, other n***as going to play gumshoe when I speak true
You can relate without the research
Doesn't take much to know, man, the streets hurt
Live life, phony smile, and ignore the evil that we've heard
I'mma sit back and leave the ignorance on the Ave
Sure, I grew up different
Sheltered, lonely, Christian; but after years of observation I'm losing all religion
"No, you're fathers out there working; n***a's out there saving lives"
But Mr. EMT is never home, he's never a part of mine
AfroLatino, en un cuidad de los Gringos
Una crianza en un Iglesias de Negro, para rezar en domingo
"But life was tough for me though" but pity's frowned on too so I learned to bear everyone's burdens, s** it up, and move on
But you'll never understand, my skin is darker than my friends
Asking mama and them why I'm alone and why I don't fit in
But envy is a sin, and so I just pretend, that Allah made us all the same, just with different skin
I'm praying someone hears me, I'm sharing my reveries and in response to what you said I'm trying to answer clearly
I take the time to pray, I pray he takes the time to hear me
We learn to fear no man but God, but n***as still going to fear me, huh?
That's just the word of the Mav, word on the Ave
