LOWLIFE

In company respect's shown mutual into it's own,
Indifference although when I'm left alone
and true feeling's begin to show,
Honesty overflows in my mind when I try not to cry
Cuz I'm blind and alive,
And esteem has no gleam and it can't be seen,
I'm so alone,
I still can't understand these feeling's that I'm feelin,
You're pullin' me back and forth
All that you're doin' is confusin' me, with this emotional strain,
It's driving me to the edge of insanity,
You can't blame me for your pain and suffering
not keepin on no downlow,
I'm screamin the flow in your face,
Just like mace in your eyes,
Like feelin' my bass in your thighs,
It's time to recognize and realize
That your ways are not the only ways to lead your life - low
Concerned about what others think, right?
Cuz your ego's makin' your core so weak
Tunnel vision, you move from A to point B to point C,
That's not the point see,
You lived your life around me
I'm crushed inside, each day I get by,
With the gleam in my eyes
If you want me then just try to find me,
If you ever need to suck me dry,
When you need me you won't ever see me
I've lost respect now watch you cry,
Touched on me so shortly then just left me too
You watched me bleed now you smile, you walked through me
While you crushed that gleam I had inside my eyes

COMEBACK

Ill times rollin' lackin' the flow
Ache in my throat and wisdom seems so lost,
And yet it's better in ways it's different,
I miss those oldschool meditations
When relaxing and getting visions
Was a given with my eyes closed
I propose a toast, to myself
To find the time to ask my Lord and galaxy
To point me in the right direction,
I got my foot in the door,
I gotta keep on writin' and stay planted to this world,
Before I can take off
Please come back to me
I need to say goodbye to these old ways
Stagnant lifestyle's no longer in my way,
I gotta keep on movin', so I pray,
And wait for a sign from my guides,
They help me proceed as I lay,
And dream of my future, I miss those times
Comeback to me

MIRROR'S REFLECTION

I'm your mirrors reflection,
What you don't like about me is what you hate in yourself,
You should see through others eyes
Before you go ahead and make 'em feel like sh*t
Stop it but you won't because you hate yourselves
Images b*tch!
Sometimes I get so frustrated
Haunting visions in the back of my mind,
Oh, you struck a pose with your hand extended
Open arms in an idiocratic ways
You try to lie to yourselves
But you can't break through
That sacred wisdom of your spirit
...Used..
...Freak..
Sometimes I would give anything just to be
sSmething more than nothing

CAN'T NOT

Breakin' 'em off a piece of my wicked funky style
Up front straight up,
No hiding behind a facade conformed society's way
Masses try to fit in, sin after sinner
Up inner higher self discriminatin' against the ways
Others are livin' their lives
But I is real different
Yes a unique open mind
Just f*ckin' sittin' around here totally bored
Just waitin' for fate to let me conquer my goals,
These helpless feelins' although they're not true,
No verve is left inside of my soul,
But tell me what can I do?
Forced to cope, just don't know,
How to acheive, my goals
A life derived through inner strength,
And the traits in the divine,
Strange perversity dominates,
The spirit and the mind

JUSTICE IS BLINDFOLDED

Justice wears a blindfold
Justice is blind to my kind
With an open mind you will find
That the truth will set you free to be yourself,
Equality is unheard of,
In this establishment pre-judicial system
Where money talks, I am unheard
Disciples from hate in control
Loud and clear it's not fair,
Open our ears and our minds will follow,
Equal voice volume no longer hollow
With this blindfold
It's so hateful and cold
What we're told's another lie,
Spit out by, our nation of misinformation
Their hearts like cement
Heavy and thick like mud
No brother can afford a lawyer to correct what's been done, Innocence is money, no cash, I just look funny,
Ain't hired cuz my life's a parole,
Too bad it's my life you f*ckin' stole,
You can't take away my freedom
This ostracising way of life you're leading
It's bleeding ignorance infectious to others
Your influence influenza
You can't take my life from me

SOUND CONTROL

You know that I'm a fugitive that's how it is,
A funky freaked out twisted lyricistical mystical energy,
When I'm flowin' I'm flowin' to blow it up,
Because I'm like gravy,
I got the sauce to get it done right,
And acheive all there is that I want to be
Individuality about myself remainin' true and free,
And helpin' others in need
Ain't no greed conquerin' my destiny,
I live my life around the homeopathic schizophrenical energetical
Vocal manner is gettin' fatter and fatter
Served on a platter
With a big old fat @$$ side of metaphysical culture,
I've controled my past and I control my future.
Don't see my life through tunnel vision
With horizon's expanded with an open mind
Clear to those tidbits of knowledge.
Pimp @$$
You know I like to kick out that flowin' sh*t,
Make you get up and groove so loose
And let your inner child play out loud
And experience the only ways to learn and enjoy
Those times seem so and few and far between right,
Take advantage with that smile I've seen,
With that gold toothed grin when we win over the floor,
Like before me with my bro to my right side
He's the man churnin' out that collaborated rhythm,
To make those clothes fill up with sweat,
The girls are (???)
I control my future,
I've controlled my past,
Try to keep my head clear to acheive my goals at last
It's a whole as a sound control

SCAPEGOAT

Corrupt errupting authority watchin over me all the time
Rhyme after rhyme I'm keepin' it real
With that spat out flow of steel,
Those lyrics promote a unity of the real people,
But still sometimes i feel like a walkin conspiracy theory
To all of the motherf*ckers around who got a problem with my ways
It's ok I'll keep my head up with my chin down
Bull forward head on collision,
With those who ain't got no faith in the cause that I feel
I need to get across in my lifetime
The clock's tickin' time's winding down
So make it all worthwile
Stop blamin' me,
I'll be your scapegoat!
These psychotic tendencies you have for me
Just comin' out of nowhere, nah,
If you spoke your mind more often you'd see it's not me,
Cuz I'm your teacher, your preacher, a creature
Willing to take on my own responsibilities though,
I'll be your scapegoat!
Blamed by your ego's unwillingness to be confronted and true, Lackin' respect you choose to spit in the wind,
But Karmas' chasin' you blamin' me,
I'll be your
Blamed black sheep I stray, ostracised for being me..

NEGATIVE REIN4SMENT

Everything you say is negative thats how you live
Anothers your vision's so blind that's how you f*ckin live
Talkin' sh*t behind peoples back you're just playin' your self
Sucka thats how you live
Negative reinforcement thats who you are
You're not your blind
You're always talkin' shit behind peoples back
You're just playin' your self sucka
I'm just, motherf*ckers make me wanna scream
Ain't down with that sh*t
You know I, you know you need to rearrange
Fool f*ckin c*nt
