Termanology - I, Visionary lyrics

[Verse 1: Reks] Godly guidance amidst the violence d**h is silence, life is blindness Remind us how we're supposed to find this Escape from hell, get a clue before we face the cell Before the paper trail, somebody's body fell n***a took an L, knew the boulevards too well The avenues and alley ways got plenty of tales The penitentiaries leave 'em mentally frail So many centuries pa** here, we lack still Somewhere ip in the Catsk**s let us chill, get away Man, I stay with Advils, brain pains, mad ills On tracks spills that rap real Return of the hunger before you have deals I wonder why the crack k**s n***as still sell, still cop drop still Body stiff, eyes wide, lost grills, momma feels We shall prevail but we still gotta wake 'em up All elementary tell me, dawg, wheres the love? [Hook] I, Visionary Seen bodies getting buried Lying in the cemetery or in the penitentiary Violence necessary Are you Hell or Heaven ready Simple A, B, C's Man, this here is elementary One Love, one life We gonna make it through one night (I hear them say) One love, one Life We gon' make it through one night I hear them saying [Verse 2: Termanology] V-I-Z-I-O-NARY 'til we own every house on our block We're so buried in debt that we seem to forget We own nothing except a couple pairs of Jordans and some Henny and Painfully I regret, we accept that we live check to check until our d**h And we leave a couple of kids, hopefully they bury us Without causing them too much stress Cause they already worry 'bout too much rent Got a fresh baby momma only two months in In the old days people used to pay for their sins Giving money to the church, hoping they get in Now, what's worst, denial, or pre-trial? A judge holding a gavel, a thug with a big barrel My people told me it's nothing, it's me just being para' 'til I see them blue lights, just a never ending battle Where's the love? [Hook] I, Visionary Seen bodies getting buried Lying in the cemetery or in the penitentiary Violence necessary Are you Hell or Heaven ready Simple A, B, C's Man, this here is elementary One Love, one life We gonna make it through one night (I hear them say) One love, one Life We gon' make it through one night I hear them saying [Verse 3: Reks] Youth without youth, they grow so fast Kids with kids lack truth to pa** to seeds the cycle of life This trifling, Eiffeling set of stairs to bare We climb on a road to nowhere, with no cares or worries we're Free spirits who hear it late, the gates close Hour gla** sands hold no longer strands so the time's up Find us where the early sun sets And guns kept force fears in peers bully the block for years There's a problem in the mental make-up The sense you'll wake-up, gray hairs old age, elderly scared Where we go from here, when the days up Clock no longer tick the politics of power keep us powerless Wish I was just a simple man, not a visionary Vision scary Our Father's and the Hail Mary's rarely Save them from the cemetery, dog we gotta wake 'em up It's elementary, Where's the love? [Hook] I, Visionary Seen bodies getting buried Lying in the cemetery or in the penitentiary Violence necessary Are you Hell or Heaven ready Simple A, B, C's Man, this here is elementary One Love, one life We gonna make it through one night (I hear them say) One love, one Life We gon' make it through one night I hear them saying
