Studio 22

Contradiction's where you find me at
Sleeping with insomniacs
Wielding sacred secrets that I'm Gleaning from these almanacs
To what end
Defeat is certain
Remember, only get one life and Know the reaper's perching
Is there a heaven we can each take Hearth in
I highly doubt it
Nothing comes after this earth where We're surrounded
By animals and beautiful landscapes
By animals that shoot, murder, rape And amass hate
Behold the dichotomy
Roses have thorns
Can grow one through the concrete Devotion's that strong
My emotions don't define me I'm Over that jawn
Wrote a couple bad songs at the Time, looking for closure
Then Amassed syntax to fast garner exposure
Idolized the kind of guys that highly Speak of culture
Obviously I'm not a novice no more
I won't stop till I gain Tariq Trotter Control
And heave songs where each bar's Coming after your soul
Reign

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
I got perpetual dreams, I'm watching
My time
Audemir ticks on toxic minds
Clips I push to a t
When it's movie time
Groovy times
We groove to a drum of a gun
Of a teenage white
Kid while his black friend gets shot in the street
Right next to him
Tight lipped
Press got me stressed thinking who's Next looking left
12 Drops back and throws bullets like Tom Brady in duress
Hard to improvise on the spot when The past weighs down your legs
Bread and butter smooth words hide the rough edges of the tongue behind Them
Strung behind him are a couple Cowards that don't even like him
But they talk, walk, act, attack the Black just like em
Put up a wall, invest in ICE but the Spice still spiking
Making prisoners out of pills, and the Police got the pills, find a black man
With a pill, make him take half out Of his will
Put 7 in his back just for the thrill, Right in front of his kids to give em Chills
So the next time they see you they Bow down and spill
I speak for my brother Mekhi when I Tell these tales
He said he'd die for the fight for the Next life to prevail
So who am I to live in a world that Might
Send him to a jail cell for cell Phoning the cops whe
Right mentalities are hard to Generate when hate's what you're Used to
The daily question's not on jeopardy But who's in jeopardy and who used Who
You tell a lie, he tells a lie, she tells a Lie too
Next time she lies with you guess Who she might just lie to
The same folks who aren't beside you Might die right beside you
I cried right behind you, turn around, You didn't try to
It's common but brutal
Far from unusual
I'm Nas in some new shoes
Or Pac on a long cruise
I stay true to what I know like it's all That I knew
You look for clues, I stay blue
Predict the future like voodoo
Put it together like Shaggy and Scooby-Doo
