Lyrics

fade to Black

As crime plays I listen to the vicious of mans ways are those the breaks stacking cakes with high stakes
of cocaina from southern shores to Medina where strong bottom girls drop and peel for the dealer
impressed by the plastic of superficial demeanors money hoes and cloths isn't all Nigga's knows
if your living for the the fast life stop...
only the few can mix the hustle
with the flow
when your cornered in a box it's hard
spot the bank role cold as the heart of
a killer in the snow
a dream deferred underscored cries unheard reflected by parental decisions neglecting children
uneducated in the tradition of knowledge wisdom survival Isn't living If your gonna beat the system

Play your position there's many forms
of ammunition armed with the fiction
I'm here to spread the diction
listen lotus position the opposition
young gifted and black Is not a contradiction

Before whips enslaved with the chains
of subjugation we where people of
the sun living well in the millions
living off the land hand in hand
respecting women rich in gods eyes
the authors of religion
without limitations we brought civil
to a nation mentoring youth in
all forms of education
Melanin integration birthed great civilizations based on the science of mathematical equations
dividing the lie of historic relegation
Mos def said Kids don't know shit and
still rock you in PlayStation
ignorant to the true origin of original
man with all due respect lost like
sand through the wind
damn as the devil hates he makes you
his best friend and most will stay loyal
to the lie until the end
Enslaved again by promises of what could have been surviving on the low not growing with the win

Play your position there's many forms
of ammunition armed with the fiction
I'm here to spread the diction
listen lotus position the opposition
young gifted and black Is not a contradiction

fight to begin there's something really interesting when you fade to black in
fact love lives within
supreme elevation comes with deep meditation there's to many mic's recording
songs for rotation
dumbing down the mental with lowered expectations Flashing for a rep chasing death for street cred
greed is predictable racism is subliminal
designed to keep us ignorant selfish unequal ruled by the gloss of
unattainable visuals
high paid tokens emulate white collar criminals smiling for the cameras like Instagram minstrels
blind to the fact that all shades of black are beautiful today's intellectuals aren't
Strange or unusual
We come from a long tradition digable with originals searching for the truth were
gifted with the genius of the new cause we are the rebirth of cool

Play your position there's many forms
of ammunition armed with the fiction
I'm here to spread the diction
listen lotus position the opposition
young gifted and black Is not a contradiction
