Do we learn math to add the dead's sum?
|
subtract the weak ones, count cash for great ones?
|
we multiply but divide the nations
|
break down like fractions, send our sons away to die
|
do we learn science in defiance of faith?
|
to make alliance with fakes for an appliance's sake?
|
we ask for the real but make artificial intelligence
|
to make smarter kills of other's presidents
|
why do we learn history to fix stories for the guilty?
|
make angels look filthy and the devils look milky?
|
if the victor writes the books, then what have we won?
|
are we battleships for authorship, a rich man's guns?
|
do we learn to read to receive the lies
|
to deceive the eyes from seeing between the lines
|
we use words to bring forth sticks and stones
|
to sing psalms of hate that fill the streets with bones
|
|

|
Unseen or heard, a king with words
|
Tablo...
|
Lyrical assassin
|
Make me vision the better livin' (I'm the truth...)
|
|
Unseen or heard, a king with words
|
Tablo...

Lyrical assassin
|
Make me vision the better livin' (I'm the truth...)
|
|
Is our day job more than self-slavery?
|
when we're locked watchin' the clock impatiently
|
we sweat for the dollar bills, the checks and the credit cards
|
but that dollar kills, breaks the necks of our inner hearts
|
if the police are role models for the righteous
|
why does justice depend on guns and night sticks?
|
mr. officer don't punish me, with brutality
|
these streets got me sing in' Marvin Gaye off-key
|
why do we need church to get to heaven's gates?
|
can holy water quench the thirst of those whose fates
|
started in the wrong place with the wrong face?
|
can the poor and the hungry survive solely on grace?
|
can this rap game ever bring changes?
|
when MCs would rather floss a cross than be saviors?
|
will I last in this game, be blasted with shame
|
will I stand for my name and never blaspheme for fame?
|
