lyrics

No need in taking blows / I was comin’ in peace dude
Besides, I got that iron flow / my heat would decrease you
Don’t be a stranger / get to know apologies
But guard it like if it got out / the hell you know would prolly freeze
I don’t need to sneeze / God’s already blessed me
I couldn’t pay the whole price/ So I just pay the test fee
In church you’re seeking truth / In life your seeking purpose
Feel like I’m jumpin’ through hoops / Universoul circus
The truth will make you praise / The truth will make you weep and cry
But Sherman Hemsley in a pugh / Don’t make him Deacon Frye
Understand the difference / Know what you believe in
Guard closesly the knowledge that you’re receving
A lot of it’s misleading / Like in Ephishians
Satan goes hard at different times for / different reasons
So while you’re surfing on your iphone / and reading on your kindles
Think who gonna help find a home / for Mr. Wendell

You need to be the change that you need to see
If you don’t see the need that you’re not where you need to be
Be the change, we need to be change. Be the change, we need to be the change.

Some features I refuse / Others you know how I lay down
I’m a lil’ Duncan Pendurhughes / A lil bit of Blade Brown
I’m always a class act though
‘Cause I don’t me messing with the wack flows
You see yourself spittin’ rhymes / That make ‘em leave screaming
But you’re not really there / You’re greenscreening
Ya’ll rappers are jokes / Homey the Clown
I don’t have to let you know / That I ain’t messing around
You know how I get down / You know the verses
I’m just as fresh as I’m is / I can’t rehearse this
Ain’t nobody perfect / But at times my rhymes are flawless
They gun slingin’ high noon / Wild West, lawless
Yeah, you can’t call it / You are not the referee
Yeah I’m ballin’ / But I’ma do what’s best for me
Any my community’s included
Shout out to the heroes in my village / Ya’ll are saluted

I can’t help the feeling, that I’m bound to be the next up
But first I need a healing, where’s the pool of Bethesda?
I am more pleasure and fun, like doublemint gum
I keep the flygirls moving, SW1
I’m just working my angles / I don’t do no hating
But some of ya’ll are really anglos / that’s just been beijinged
The cover don’t match the book / you say it’s a battle now
But you’re really not deep / look these cats are shallow hal
It was all good, until the cash flow ran thin
Now you really feeling, like singing the crows anthem
Can’t win with a stacked deck
So might as well be as black, as black gets
But I don’t mean ratchet, more like the kings and queens of old
Don’t just believe the history ur told, we were bought and sold
To them, we were considered property
So don’t expect the come up, to have been recorded properly
