[Verse 1 - Blueprint]
2
I don't let the drums dictate the way what I spit/lay
3
Or if the rhythm of it's what makes it great
4
I listen to it, then when I hit play
5
My mind drifts into a place 50 years away
6
I see what would've been, if I let the pen lay:
7
The old me got so many things to say
8
But nobody listens 'cause his beard is grey
9
So he tells me to get back here and seize the day!
10
See"¦ I don't need peace & quiet
11
I really don't like it, it really ain't the way
12
Cool concept, but hardly inspiring
13
When peace is the only thing you see every day
14
Now I don't think we need riots
15
Or all types of violence, for things to be okay
16
But in terms of environment, we need something to fight against
17
'cause most great art can't exist without pain!
18
Cut off your own ear if it gets you to paint
19
Tell us that you do it for the people that hate
20
Can't enjoy the sun unless you sit through the rain
21
Again: most great art can't exist without pain!
22
Mary J. Blige, Billie Holiday
23
Charlie Parker, John Coltrane
24
Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain
25
Roger Troutman, Marvin Gaye
26
See? You ain't got nothing to save
27
'cause everything about you is safe
28
You live in the prettiest place
29
Rivers and lakes, makin' serious cake
30
You talkin', but I ain't hearin' them thangs
31
Sleepwalkin', you ain't even really awake
32
Too often, this is how you spend all your days
33
If this really the case, then it's really a race
34
And maybe that's why I can't fuck with you
35
You too comfortable, you too huxtable
36
Police don't even fuck with you
37
You ain't seein' 'em leavin' people bleedin' right in front of you
38
All I see is white T-s, and popped collars
39
Pitbulls and rottweilers
40
People who ain't got options
41
Might as well keep the block poppin!
42

[Verse 2 - Wrekonize]
44
Yeah"¦ Ha!
45
I could've changed a life, could've prevented one
46
The way it ended up, I must say I've regretted some
47
They said I meant you wrong, and now my head is numb
48
I know I walked the line, but never did I pretend to run
49
I wrote this verse in blood, I'm drinkin' Heaven's rum
50
Hoping the Armageddon comes, I'm it's second son!
51
You quoted words of mine and truly as that record spun
52
I heard the devil hum those melodies I've been affected from!
53
It leaves me breathless, empty lungs
54
Senseless, head is but a vessel for the medicine!
55
I spit pain, backflippin' off of rebel's tongue
56
Negative and never fond, this Netherworld has severed some
57
And when it's all said and records done
58
You see I make sure to reflect the one emotion most would never strum
59
I like my mirror with cracks, don't ever change
60
'cause most great art can't exist without pain!
61
