[00:00.000]	作曲 : Jon Connor
[00:25.44]	Look where we headed, *****s want baby mamas instead of weddings They holler "she crazy" - you knew that before you got her pregnant
[00:31.05]	Visualize the dream of Malcolm and Martin opposite
[00:33.61]	We all God's children, making the devil's adoption list
[00:35.95]	Free will keep overriding our common sense Born with a conscience, but over time we buildin' up a tolerance
[00:40.96]	Immunity to scrutiny, that's just how the world turn
[00:43.61]	And Alfred taught me some people just want to watch the world burn
[00:46.21]	Ashes to ashes after flashes of decisions made
[00:48.78]	The world disintegrates, as shallowness takes center stage
[00:51.33]	As I pen this page, some would say that I'm a renegade
[00:53.49]	Cleanin' out my closet, I'm just man enough to renovate
[00:56.11]	Seduction or corruption'll have us all ****ed
[00:58.33]	Before we all stuck, see the light before we awestruck
[01:01.03]	Back to that baby mama, *****, here your little boy come
[01:03.70]	Lifetime to build a future, only seconds to destroy one
[01:08.07][Hook Jon Connor]
[01:08.59]	Rise - they say my message is a weapon Say hello to Mr. AK47 Send me to the jury or the reverend Cause I'm 'bout to spray this extra clip I left in
[01:16.69]	So rise, mother****er, rise
[01:18.81]	Oh, what's the point?
[01:19.46]	You will die or probably commit suicide to this joint
[01:21.84]	My *****, they say my message is a weapon
[01:24.24]	Say hello to Mr. AK47
[01:27.19]Jon Connor]
[01:31.54]	Before they close my casket, I want my words to reach to the masses
[01:34.61]	Before they have me in shackles sayin' I didn't pay my taxes
[01:37.26]	We laughing, but what's wack is that this shit could actually happen
[01:39.73]	Shit is real life, the lights and the cameras just a distraction
[01:42.05]	Spoon fed out the mob from the time we open our eyes
[01:44.71]	We don't try to seek the truth, we more comfortable with the lies
[01:47.08]	Like if I told you black was blue and you never knew all this time Or 1+1 was really 3, you'd go out of your ****ing mind
[01:52.20]	Kids is suicidal, homicidal, wanna be famous
[01:54.87]	Hopin' that the video of the trial gon' go viral
[01:57.14]	How we've spiralled as a generation, not enough answers
[02:00.25]	Too many questions, I close my eyes and count my blessings
[02:02.64]	I'm realistic about this life, shit, that's why I write shit That make a ***** think twice and focus on the right shit
[02:07.57]	When happiness ain't got a price, man, that shit is priceless But it takes some folks they whole life to recognize this, so
[02:13.48][Hook]
[02:14.65][Talib Kweli]
[02:38.28]	Violence begets violence, but killers respect the silence
[02:41.05]	Not religious, but I still pray to God and respect the science
[02:43.58]	We're deaf when the kids is crying, and stare when the TEKs is firing
[02:45.98]	So we the endangered species, they'd rather protect the lions
[02:48.60]	In the Matrix looking for Zion, dying by the gat Is as American as the bacon that they're frying with the fat
[02:53.86]	They lying, them *****s flat when they clappin' at 'em like blap
[02:56.41]	Your opinion on the matter don't matter, matter of fact
[02:58.83]	They be aiming it at our back cause we market it as a target
[03:01.59]	Went from modern day prophets to martyrs dying for profit
[03:04.01]	Went from body rockin' to molly popping
[03:05.77]	*****s will probably wipe your heart
[03:07.23]	Probably stop at the sight of this ***** rockin'
[03:09.10]	At the supermarket shopping
[03:10.55]	Trying to cop a shotgun with a debit card
[03:12.13]	Listening to demagogues
[03:14.32]	Who's representing Brooklyn like Decepticons
[03:15.77]	This is the new Renaissance
[03:16.80]	My accountant get 5% cause he respect the gods
[03:19.25][Hook]
