confusion, a fool and his sanity soon part
illusion, what was light becomes dark
seclusion, do you i’ll gladly play my part
no losin’, only experience gained hard
i’m perusin’, see, i challenge me and rise
phenomenal woman, see me with 3 eyes
fall asleep at the wheel-wake up, hella surprised
mine eyes wide, i have less shame than pride
VERSE 1
1. they had us scared of two thousand twelve, i wasn't afraid tho
2. as long as i got my Soul, i’m not prayin’ to
3. no Fake god, aint got no idols in my heart
4. and as far as i’m concerned, i do a great job!
5. Universal law, religious zealots can’t stand it
6. i abide by Nature, Universal commandments
7. burnt bridges, spanned ‘em, my brown skin, tanned it
8. aint greedy with this knowledge, i walk the path in tandem
9. so come along! the revolution, i defend
10. i’m here to open (y)our eyes and for the rest of our friends
11. our Spirits suffer, forced divorce from Nature
12. Brown families suffer cuz the government hate us
13. Tupac gave us THUG LIFE, "The Hate U Give Little Infants
14. Fucks Everyone", at what point do we listen??
15. eyes open wide shut, ignorance bliss
16. duality sparin’ me, souljah, raised fist!

VERSE 2
1. i grew up running through this city in the days when it was gritty
2. now, it’s bittersweet lookin’ at the ‘hood all pretty
3. with the – hipstas and yippies, sometimes memories grip me
4. i cut mine eyes at ‘em, attitude allll shifty
5. but my ‘tude it temp, remember, capitalize
6. cross my T’s when it’s time, i revitalize
7. never one to idolize, they can’t see my width, idle eyes
8. picky with my greenbacks pickin’ what i patronize
9. hater’s see with hatin’ eyes what it is i got love for
10. like Cassius Wind said, “come in peace, ready for war”
11. i aint Sally on the beach, sellin’ out by the seashore
12. i go by Jendog, Lone Wolf, i give more
13. take less, this beat fresh, so i spit raw
14. my mystery lies on me, society on all fours
15. common sense slipped away, mentality on pause
16. now the ‘hoods gentrified-swooped in like a vulture, endangered species-last of my CULTURE!!!
