Spooks

You wont believe the things Ive seen
Far beyond your wildest dreams
Ive seen chaos and order reign supreme
Ive seen the beauty of the universe
so peaceful and serene
in seconds turn to violence and screams
Ive seen true genius, too often to lose the meaningless
appreciation of this mediocre nation
Ive heard the mind is repetition,
of empty words without tradition
Turned original verbs into submission
I smelled this malignerance addiction,
but I guess I wouldnt be right
if I said the blunt was like a baby pipe
There aint gon be no revolution tonight
Half of my warriors as high as a kite
Lost and they lost all they fight
And Ive tasted, the bitter tragedy of lives wasted
And men who glimpsed the darkness inside, but never faced it
And its a shame that most of yall are followin sheep
Wallowin deeper than the darkness, youre fallin asleep
You wont believe the things Ive seen
Far beyond your wildest dreams
Ive seen chaos and order reign supreme
Ive seen the beauty of the universe
so peaceful and serene
in seconds turn to violence and screams
Ive seen and experienced things
thatll push the average to the edge and swan dive to death
Im two guys, multiplied by ninety-three guys
Evenly balanced seein evil equally in each eye now
Maybe Im the most thorough worker on the job to you
or maybe Im the one, who was plottin to rob you
The fear of this beatdown, the women on no cash to floss
makes most of yall hustle ya ass off
From nothin to two mill, in five years Ill live to see it
vanish in six months, with no tears believe it
Ill rock, twenty-eight years before the Feds can lay a trace
See they plan is to erase me, just to replace me
Life! Your heart is one with your brain
Emotional or reason, now which one do you obey?
Life! Somebody callin you insane
When overwhelmed and blessed, burst in tears of happiness
Yo, yo, Ive seen relationships thats so sick
Life long friendships so cha-o-tic
Thug cat bangin this chick but wont kiss
Drinkin her spit, when coppin a fix for dope bliss
I got a knife and a bat, to bust your brain, put a knife in your back
"Once in the Life" I was trifle like that
like my man Troy, who lost his days
shootin dice on worldly ways
and ended up in a early grave
Because once in a lifetime is rough
Twice in a lifetime you combat the ghost of mistrust
Mentally cuffed, thrust by a cop thinkin he tough
You bust, Amadou Diallo is us, and what
now Im on my knees, beggin "God, please!
Save me from the fires of hell!
Let water water soul prevail" - cos I cant take no more
Whos that knockin, at, my door?
Is that you, Pete from Cobbs Creek, who died in my sleep?
We was playin for fun, now its keeps
Like my man Mark I beat to death wrapped in a carpet
and left in the garbage, now thats cold-hearted
Ask Book he saw it, "Yo black I aint seen (shit)
Kids in the 6, they flip for nonsense"
Poke an icepick, smokin that (shit) since preschool fool
and packin a tool, (fuck you) Mom Dukes its cool
You wont believe the things Ive seen
Far beyond your wildest dreams
Ive seen chaos and order reign supreme
Ive seen the beauty of the universe
so peaceful and serene
in seconds turn to violence and screams
Life! Your heart is one with your brain
Emotional or reason, now which one do you obey?
Life! Somebody callin you insane
When overwhelmed and blessed, burst in tears of happiness
