Sabzi - Poison lyrics

You don't wanna touch that drug Sista you don't wanna touch that drug… Check it out: Sista you out here raisin' our community's kids Impartin' a stronger sense of what "community" is Teachin' 'em how to speak the word and what to do with these fists You're like a young Sojourner – truly through you, she lives You do God's work, and for it you deserve to be praised 'Cause I know – the sacrifice is hardly worth what it pays Nevertheless – on you press to nurture the babes But take care – overprotectin' 'em will hurt 'em in ways You can't imagine – some call pa**ion a tool The Shaitan – creatin' bonds with fanatics and fools And the fear of that is why freedom's absent in school And they substitute for gold the platinum rule It's on you to provide what they don't supply to the ma** Knowledge of the forefathers they won't find in their cla** And you ain't gotta force feed 'em, but when finally they ask Tell 'em they must shine for they were divine in the past Understand – I've been ready to commit to your team With the two forces combined we can uplift a regime But I am worthless as soon as I am stripped of my miens And if you see it as the cause for the split between us then that's Poison – I don't wanna touch that drug Trust me – I don't need the rush that much Understand I'll lay it all down straight and walk away overnight If it means you and me will unite (X2) Brother you're out here speakin from a stump in the rain I admire your stamina – it's like you're numb to the pain Through the mic it's like you and I are one-in-the-same We promise hope, though most say we're just mumblin' slang But the change'll come – we know from readin' the text And when I tend stop short, yo you keep me abreast You were born to be a leader of the elite's best But my concern's for the rest of the people that's left See I was baptized once as a child in the church And as a man now, overstand the lies in their works They're tryin' hard to save souls sellin' violence and hurt But mine was free from the beginning to fly since birth Now I wanna help another cat to feel like that Mixin' metaphysical concepts with real-life facts To equip the front lines in the field where pipes crack With rhyme, to the reason they're choosin' to fight back Understand that you and I both serve the same cause For peace – whether we're reachin' it through words or wars Sometimes our backgrounds help determine our course But when the weight starts to separate and burden us, Lord, that's Poison – I don't wanna touch that drug f** it – I don't need the rush that much Understand I'll lay it all down straight and walk away overnight If it means you and me will unite (X2)
