[intro]
yeah
here to shed a little light on those that can’t see man
that’s our purpose, you know?
here to let y’all know that everything that’s going out here right now these days ain’t right
it’s extremely wrong, and i’d be wrong if i went along with it
so feel me right quick, check it out
[verse 1:alfonso greer]
yo yo in 25 years life’s meaning that i discovered
is lost individuals follow each other
to they death, society makes us more bitter
in turn raised ism’s kinda hard to get rid of
dear father, i knew it wasn’t meant to be like this
if so you wouldn’t have created man in your likeness
but god, times is hard more now than ever
your words my serenity for goals i endeavor
for my falling short there’s no explanation
so from genesis to revelations i study your expectations
hoping i can get, one step closer to approval
don’t wanna make decisions that result in my removal
from the book of life, living trife it ain’t worth it
the bones that we bury one day touch the surface
a message to the clowns living life like a circus
wasting it is kinda worthless
verse 2:?]
check it
yo, a slug in a thug but shot in the hard rocks
chilling this little figure
a knife in a trife brother means one less life to lead
homies bleed like roses, wilt like roses
the book of life poses, with stiff poses
suppose this brother here had a rap career
i’d probably be one more statistic only drinking beer
getting weeded out, twenty four seven
can’t get a job cause i robbed the seven eleven
that’s a felony so what y’all tellin me
they checking backgrounds?
i tried to get a gig at ups got clowned
same thing goes on everywhere i look
i’m twenty-five years old i can’t be no hamburger cook
standing at the bus stop getting much ?
? by brothers with gold rings
my future looks grim
i wanna be like mike up the street with the benz
and the grand cherokee jeep with some friends
that ain’t me, that kinda life for me’s forbidden
and i just gotta get your quote and get the whole world open
[hook:?]
everybody on the streets should know
the devil’s after your mind and after your soul
if you let him take it, then you never gonna make it
if you resist with the words of jah you’ll persist to exist
[verse 3: ?]
for so long i lived my life naive being deceived
getting caught up in the devilish web that men weave
hard to believe the answers were right there
in a household bible by the living room chair
before i didn’t care about sinning on monday
or drinking alizé after service on sunday
but the truth opened my eyes and made the world look despicable
which ways is predictable for lost individuals
to images on tv that betray how we living
a sight blinding lies on the world’s false religion
but jah opened me up and made it easy to interpret
and schooled me on the ways of the original serpent
son the last days is here and you can tell from the seasons
countless murders in our area for ignorant reasons
we got the felonies, the misdemeanors, lies and treasons
ain’t no hearts growing cold in these days they freezing
son the last days is here and you can tell from the seasons
countless murders in our area for ignorant reasons
[hook:?]
everybody on the streets should know
the devil’s after your mind and after your soul
if you let him take it, then you never gonna make it
and im gone so the wailers rock on
Life
He sounds like Akrobatik.
