two time thinkin

I don't get consumed
by the tune
of two time thinkin
what I'm bringin
is authentic
augment it
and inspect it
if I sent it
it really was what I felt
and really my most excellent
I don't have time for fake
or false moves
I purged all those wayz
but I can still read those clues
my views
and what I choose to do
grew outta my need for purpose
and church is where I felt complete
so I knelt
and I took my seat
I repeat
Church is where I felt complete
Realized I was unique
And on my knees
I began to seek
What life was all about
And nothing made sense
And so it turns out
I was wishin for a mission to materialize
I would theorize
My destiny must be written in the stars
I’m meant to crash down
The biggest thickest bars
And free God’s people
Who need all
the help that they can get
but check what I met
it was even better yet
I was set and let to lead
The help for people in need
Everything is everything
That was the first seed in arable land
I began to understand
The guiding hand of God
And how hard
Meanz
the right thing to do
and a few clues here and there
where enough to keep me
from being scared
as I dared to do more
but still saw it as a chore
that would one day end
and then
I would go back to my life again
I didn’t see
I didn’t understand
I was to grow and be a man
Before I could rise to my feet
I had to sit and take my seat
Church is still where I feel complete.
And I can see the day
Though not the way
When we’ll all rise to our feet.

Okay, now tell me a little bit about your educationI didn't
breeze through school,

I breezed through the campus center back to my crib
You like to socialize?
- Yeah -
Well that's no surprise
Plus it's somethin that a lunatic mostly denies
Chill, whatchu tryin to say, that I'm about to explode?

"Like I.. like I said before..""Listen up as I take out the rhyme book"

".. but chill 'til I finish the third verse"
"Now, listen-listen to the past"
This is going well,

[Esoteric]
The punk stand front and centerRed carpets roll,
ladies trumpet as they enter
Light years beyond, my title's number one contender
Mind of an inventor with the grace of a fencer
Look, I gives a fuck if you're white, black or octaroon
I'll lock you in a room, make you pop balloons
filled with toxic fumes,
yeah you shoulda bought a tomb
Cause Esoteric puts the Metal to your Face like Dr. Doom
Is-is that true? - Nah but it's a hot rhyme
Just give me a word,
I'll say what pops to my mind
Okay

Thanks for your time

That I can't allow
Huh?
You're legally insane, you'll be living here now
What

This Jam

growing up inside the industry
i couldnt see
what hiphop was all about
what did it mean to me
radioplay n what they say
n what they do
money up on my mind
but that wasn’t true
this music is my culture
and i Live it straight up
people bangin out the hits
but they cannot get up
if you talk about freedom
then you will be shut up
but not any more
cuz we people fed up
standing with our face up
and defyin the pimp
gonna take back what is ours
push the pimp off the brink
raise up with our arms
redefine what we think
Yo! this is how we comin
this what People’s Poets bring
this industry is history
just look at my rhyme
puttin pieces to the puzzle
n my mind is on time
now raise your hands up
common raise them higher
this jam is amplified

raise your hands up higher

God....

I bubbLe and erupt
wen i see the most corrupt
question period will come up
n i just won’t shut up
speakin in the voices
of the people that are most fed up
a whole country is set up
just look at iraq
no terrorism ties
just a bunch a media lies
comin out the dirty mouths
of the same white guys
they have a complex
with themselves
so they hate
everything else
own anything they want
so they turn around and sell
no purpose to their life
n it aint that hard to tell
there aint no time to waste
so i stand up and rebeL
God, politicize my eyes
so that i can reaLize
what is really goin on
why another human dies
i defies what you do
with words n point of view
this is really seen
when my action carry through
people stop n laugh
and the’ll laugh at you too
but we gotta keep goin
cuz we know what to do

snatchin up the mic

im snatchin up the mic
like how i rite
reaL tight!
fully intentional
and ready to fight
straight battlin ideas
steady turnin on light
Like minds together
shining stars in the night
when we gonna get together
bust our full force might
everyone knowz... .
Love aLwayz wins Rite? Rite?
PeopLe always Like. Like.
FeeLin aLright. Right?
so they give a few dollars
for some children not white. white.
poor underdeveloped
countries that they help
are actually fully developed
to be dependent on our wealth
and their health dont matter
so their population scatter
move to north america
forget and get fatter
the global south gets battered
our local youth get sadder
all of this matters
so everyone gets madder
cop Gun goes tat-ter
if your action really matter
POLITICAL PRISONERS
FREE THEM NOW
you wanna make a change
but you don’t know how
get up and make a difference
Yes Right Now!
but watch out for the cop
that makes the gun go BLAOW!
