lyrics

[...]

Sails in the wind, gimme spoon for the mind / Make me the King and I show you the sign / I sing, sing over dubbed on the spine / Beat, boom-bap, bang hard, it's a crime / I, son of man, made me One of the kind / “Humans” is the label and a “MC” sub-species / Cry / Come see me live, internet PC’s / ”Fake MC’s” is outdated like TV’s / But shallow Hip-Hop got me feelin like faeces / Somethin fishy’s going on inside Hip-Hop / Something faeces going wrong with the people / Mos def Yes, my people’s sufferin from the bufferin’ of brains that’s too slow to say NO to the speedy-freak show that’s run by the insecure mabies with make-up [...]

Harmonize with everyone you meet /
Sympathize with everything you hate /
You done nothing here to be so proud /
Look inside your heart before you speak /
Sing inside your head before you hate /
Rebuild what you wrecked and then create /
Your best friends stab you in the front /
But honesty that stings ain’t the thing /
Deep inside your self you find space /
Stars, like the thoughts you soon face /
Rising up above you find grace /
Grace is all the thing you need to chase /
If even just a trace is what you taste /
Run for your perfection, it’s a race!
