Can't fall in love with these illusions How you gonna survive with your mind polluted Confusion , come f** with the movement The undisputed , live & direct Came to collect , every ounce of respect Until we resurrect (wake up) Cause & effect You causing corruption & interruptions Cool , we don't follow instructions Free the underground , Harriet Tubman Writing more than Fredrick Douglas While I'm cutting Through the back field Life is unreal You can wait until a bag of chips is 2 dollars Tryna have my whole hood pop collars And have scholars Free education without owing dollars Safe parks for the toddlers Growing up without fathers But yall don't hear me tho Your eyes stuck on TV & p**no Lost in images This is for the tribes & villages Where the surroundings is limited They don't know about Sleeping on the couch Moving from house to house Having plaque in your mouth Turning socks inside - out Didn't sleep in a few days Bumping illmatic Ignoring their fear tactics Mos definitely feeling ecstatic Super magic , slaying dragons Who be bragging About name brand clothes Only a few people my color Who own those Bout to pick every bum In the street & having them Mobbin Deep with me As I'm k**ing these beats Survival of the fittest & they still here Shut the f** up , i care We all deal with pain Young boys selling candy on the train Or be dancing for a meal Well - least they don't have k** or steal but still Can't say we free we Get these shackles off your mind They tryna tackle when we grind I'm a philosopher In disguise Until we rise
