[Mr.Lif]
2
Check it out
3
I been waitin', playin', for a long time
4
X amount of thoughts carried out in my mind
5
I turn on the TV, I see crime
6
Script written diligently and aired on time
7
Push the power button, now I'm to the tower somethin'
8
Opened up my fridge and found nothin'
9
Tipped to my room with an aura of gloom
10
Wishin' I could write another tune
11
But my hands are paralyzed, plus my eyes
12
Wanna shed tears, but it's not possible, there's
13
The burden of things I couldn't bear
14
Feelings weren't dealt with properly
15
Remorse follows me
16
With his good friend, the threat of poverty
17
Here's where I am, versus where I think I oughtta be
18
There's a certain chance I'm a victim of circumstance
19
I take a look at myself and at first glance
20
I see who I recently thought to be me
21
Based on identities public and private
22
Behold the radio pirate, ya nigga
23
A felon, chillin' with a gun to your melon
24
A pimp with his pockets swellin', a jester
25
A slave with wounds that fester, the wanna-be
26
Pre-med 3-D dread an academic reject
27
Hopin' to detect life, erect what god gave
28
Human laws are laid, we go to war, come back
29
And come up with more
30
I'm kind, friendly, your worst enemy
31
Charming, crass, and potentially
32
Dangerous, have you ever heard of such?
33
I'm invisible and impossible to touch
34
[EL-P]
35
This is not my beautiful melting identity
36
The thoughts that I can't manipulate for the safe line
37
Is personal, one amongst many is the macro,
38
Made from the pain of the fragile
39
(repeat 3x)
40
[Mr.Lif]
41
I still say fresh dope and things of that sort
42
I don't shoot up, smoke crack, or take shorts
43
Your thoughts are always welcome, I seldom
44
Won't enter another's perspective, corrective lenses
45
Are something that I wear, so I can see the globe real clear
46
Look, there's famine over there, plus the families in fear
47
Of disease and distress that lingers in the air
48
These are the words of a man in purgatory
49
Words of a simpleton living in oblivion
50
Is this the model for life you will envisionin'
51
free as can be in a world of imprisonment?
52
I dare you to check new territory
53
American dream? Time for another story
54
One where I don't choke to keep afloat
55
I'm sick of living on false visions of hope
56
With a knife to my own throat
57
Stick of dynamite inside my overcoat
58
Because I know the ropes
59
Reality in this world is bought and sold
60
A very limited scope of life is shown
61
And I'm just one of the mold, fully controlled
62
Left to erode in my humble abode
63
You won't hear me because I got no loot
64
You don't hear me because you don't compute
65
I'm docile, psycho, have you heard of such?
66
I'm invisible and impossible to touch
67
Single mother, who are you? (I phantom)
68
Office worker, who are you? (I phantom)
69
Caught up in the system, who are you? (I phantom)
70
Tryin' to earn a living, who are you? (I phantom)
71
Depressed and uninspired, who are you? (I phantom)
72
Hard-workin', broke and tired, who are you? (I phantom)
73
Seekin' education, who are you? (I phantom)
74
Can't get ahead no matter what you do? (I phantom)
