* send corrections to the typist[Hook]scratched-"Knowledge be the keyTo unlock your brain and set your mindstate free"- Inspectah Deck 'Show & Prove'[Intro]What? All eyes. Pay attention.[Deacon]My familiarity makes you scared to seeThe beauty in front of your eyesYou're thinkin' merrilyEverything isn't a predictable occurrenceIf you've experienced everything except a purposeThen you've missed everything that was meant to be caughtLife sessions aren't lessons that can be simply taughtYou gotta feel the matterBuild the dataYou gotta strengthen self or your shield will shatterIn the field, we choose to scatter like liceinstead of coming together and keeping it tightIt's hard to be alone, deep in the nightI try to avoid the dark life and be seeking the lightBut so many times I fall in between the linesOf what is a devilish sign and what is divineIf you base your life on wasted nights with no faith in sightYou might as well free base on pipesI've fallen down but I got up friendFell twiceThree timesGot up again and againAnd again, it's nobodies but my own it didn't endYou only don't win when you give inThe days we live inSend shit that'll break the strongestI put on my body armor and remain the calmestBeing peaceful at heartHelps me see through the dark? walk it's hard for evil people to startBullshitWas a literally cool kidWhose only form of battlin' is through musicIf you hold yourself tight you can't lose itLife or deathIt's up to you who you cruise withExercise knowledge to increase your wealthIf you know yourself you'll be shown your wealth (x3)[Hook]Sometimes I ask myself a questionIs my lack of inner reflectionsome type of indication of what state my life is in?They keep piping in elevator musicSappy and happy as hell with foo foo shitWhen I reflect back and recollect thatI was born into the state of walking slumberTaught numbers, realize I'm dirt poorIt hurts more now that I'm olderShowered in water much colder than thisHoldin' my lips and close thee abyssWith the speech and the phoniest kissRendered lifelessTalk about an identity crisisMy third eye remains sightlessWhen the night hitsCan't help but lie awakeContemplate fights with vice gripsDepressions and lessons in starvationsIt's hard to be patientSittin' perfectly still and listen to your own heart racin'Assume the description of my life and it's realityIs on the warm side of fatalityIt's not fair the way you challenge meOr the silent ways my talents beHidden inside these translationsEmancipations as I try to dab the slate cleanFutile attempts to make my fate cleanHate seems all inclusiveIt makes me want to fall reclusiveAnd rip the tallest loose-leafWith a makeshift faceliftFor my mental stateHuh check it out[Hook]
