Preme - Find The Ledge lyrics

“Rap n***as who don't think much past figures are figurines That you put in a cabinet for décor. You're listening To the evolution of revolution—won't be televised Won't be tweeted, either; won't even see it with naked eyes I make it my number one priority. It's a war for the minds of the blind ma**es— Owning their own masters They think the sheep in the pasture are eating gra** So they leave 'em to eat and don't even ask if they need it. After believing The propaganda, they properly propagate/copulate And eat the same sh** that they poppas ate Then they populate the planet planning to live off Arm & Hammer To manage or make a living, since when is there harm in handling business? You know, the damage of living inside a fantasy comes after understanding That nothing's gonna be handed to you The greatest trick you can pull involves wool And your eyes, and involves tying it tightly enough to blind you [Hook] Do what I tell you—search, and go find the Ledge That I Know you don't know about, and then wait for what Simon Says And since I know you can't see it, and you're kind of scared Just down a few pills, pop 'em and wait till you're outta there Now, I'm a dare you to do it, and it sounds stupid, but jump— I promise you that it's fun and it's what you want Your role models are doing it, why should you not? Cop quick. What's life living outside a shoebox? [Verse 2]: So, we got no more MLKs, Malcolms or Tupacs All we have are Michaels and Jordans...and a few shots “It's all just a game, and we just the players That wasn't us. That was Mike Dunn and Jordan Davis Or Trayvon and Zimmerman.” Play back. Listen again Danger: Ignorance works like a carcinogen Revving a car engine in park after it's started's not Doing sh** but making loud noise in the parking lot We can walk it out for miles, march, demonstrate and protest But it won't mean a goddamned thing. It's just gon' show next Time the line can be moved farther and be more obvious He said 50 years ago when the time for martyrs is So this ain't radical—it ain't me starting sh** It's me saying, maybe cash in on your country's promises Or wake up from that dream that you seem to be in And take a hard look, for your kids, what you're 'bout to leave 'em [Hook] Do what I tell you—search, and go find the Ledge That I Know you don't know about, and then wait for what Simon Says And since I know you can't see it, and you're kind of scared Just down a few pills, pop 'em and wait till you're outta there Now, I'm a dare you to do it, and it sounds stupid, but jump— I promise you that it's fun and it's what you want Your role models are doing it, why should you not? Cop quick. What's life living outside a shoebox? [Verse 3: Louis Farrakhan]: It's time now for you to be delivered America can't hold you no more She has no jobs for you Her factories closing down— All she has is a plan of d**h for you And that's why d** are in the black community That's why guns are in the black community You're not shooting down your open enemy You're shooting each other down But you're going to pay a price For k**ing your people I'm gonna tell you the price in a minute And then I'm through But you will face EVERY word that you hear me say…” [Hook] Do what I tell you—search, and go find the Ledge That I Know you don't know about, and then wait for what Simon Says And since I know you can't see it, and you're kind of scared Just down a few pills, pop 'em and wait till you're outta there Now, I'm a dare you to do it, and it sounds stupid, but jump— I promise you that it's fun and it's what you want Your role models are doing it, why should you not? Cop quick. What's life living outside a shoebox?”
