God Said...

Preach it Lord
Oh yeah
God said show love for my neighbor
Why God they don't do me no favors

Life is never easy life is hard
Even with conscious mind this life is never ours
The trick is that you're never in control
Moving at a turles pace through the rabbit hole
Weaving in and out of this wonderland
Teetering with thoughts of evil is the righteous man
Battling with reality versus perception
No matter the voice will you choose a direction

Sending shots duck and cover
Pray for our sisters mourn for our brothers
Twitter trending phases out in days
Then they kill another
To repeat the outrage from another blunder
Perpetrated cycles
Follow false disciples
Activist moon walking imitating Michael
Listening to coons talking masquerade as idols
Heartbeat of the streets I'm checking all it's vitals
But then I flatline

And we ain't seeing eye to eye like binoculars
You could never live in my world even with oculus
Nah
I'm too detached from society
Tap into the ego and the id for variety
The mind is duality
Influenced by the pressures and the grind of reality
Volume in the silence
Peace within the violence
Forgive me Lord I'm trying
Evolution of Malcolm X in my defiance

It's hard for me to turn a blind eye and stay grounded
But not inclined no Calvin
High stepping through this lifetime
Dead ass steady searching for a life line
Black truth muddied up by the white lies
Preach
Food for thought but I serve it to em bite sized
Teach
But should I cower cuz they gunning down the icons
Or stay down firm grip like a python

God damn I feel constricted homie
Be like Caesar or a donkey how they pin it on me
Going ape shit King Kong be the ending for me
See the fabric of my life destroyed how they ripping on me
But hold up
I feel like Huey when they caught him in the ally way
Woah
Or like Malcom when they shot him up from every way
Woah
A black king with no crown been struck down
Force fed the rhetoric of peace fuck how that sounds

God said show love for my neighbor
Preach it Lord
Why God they don't do me no favors
Oh yeah

The subject and the predicate niggas wanna tip toe
Dance around the obvious deception from the get go
See I been laying real low
Biding my time with my thoughts and retorts and I mixed it with a sick flow
While the jesters and the fools dropping smoke screens
Fake raps trying elevate the quote streams
I picked my spot now I'm stepping to the center stage
I ain't a rapper but I come to you a renegade

Buck the system know the price
Life's a gamble roll the dice
Pay exchange it for ya life
Will you fall or will you rise
Masquerade in your disguise
Are you woke or are you sleep
Be the shepherd not the sheep
Shallow thoughts will leave you deep
Drowning have you looking for a life raft
Sink or swim hoping you choosing down the right path
