The War At Home

ANd now hes bacc with a vengeance
This is for the youngins still pacced in the trenches
Ask me the difference I tell em all that there aint one
Were alive and live in the same conditions
I know you disagree, and that is fine by me
Just long as you can recognize the similarities
I give up it for my brothers overseas
But I honestly believe that all of us have been decieved
now its a war on terror and they tappin our phones
Terrorism in and of itself plaguein our homes
We waited too long, what happened to what it used to be
It would take a nation of millions now were too busy jus watchin our tvs
To see whats really goin on, its a feelin that I get when my children are sicc at home
And I wait for it, for that ever present news
With that never endin stream of all that negative and gloom
And you wasnt worried first, now your gettin in the car
This year it was bird flu before that it was SARS
And the list goes on and on
till we whisper to each other cause we never feel alone
Hook:There is a war at home and aint nobody fightin, they dont know whats goin
And the list, the list goes on and on, till we whisper to each other cause we never feel alone
Theres a war at home, and everybody taken prisoner but aint nobody know
Yeah now we picc up our prescriptions, medicate at home
Or some grab a couple bottles of that vodka or patron
Now we all bunch a lunatics
runnin wild Livin crazy, full of so much foolishness
Wired on the daily
ITs a blessin in disguise, a day without our power
But our citizens will lose it if its off about an hour
So we talk about our days, after evenin showers
Then we go to sleep and dream about a princess in a tower
While the whole world goin ham, goddamnit its massacre
The general public clueless and the countrys run by trafficers
Ironic, that even education teach ebonics
And the earthquakes comin harder and theres more and more tsunamis
And we sit bacc, chit chat watch it all on tv
Talkin to each other like I hope this aint a repeat
people please, this is more than your aware of
They claim a war on terror but the bringin a new era
THis is madness, we all blind to the facts
With our bacc turned covered up hidin in the bacc
There is a war at home and aint nobody fightin, they dont know whats goin
And the list, the list goes on and on, till we whisper to each other cause we never feel alone
Theres a war at home, and everybody taken prisoner but aint nobody know

The Speed Of Life

Hook: Movin at the speed of life, on the passenger side
With no keys no brakes no choice but ride
With no map no guide not a single road sign
No destination just drive
Im movin at the speed of life, just movin at the speed of life
No matter how fast slow, wtong or right
Were jus movin at the speed of life
Felt like I was runnin till I tripped and fell down
Hands in the dirt eyes aimed at the ground
Lord knows that it hurt but I never made a sound
Picced my self up and never turned bacc around
Sprintin for the finish I could feel it in my chest
Felt my lungs fill with breath felt the pain of every step
Gave it all that I had left knew that I would make it
But the finish felt farther every step that was takin
Made me crazy so Im racin for lead in the race
Sweat beads on my face cant breathe what wait?
Where are all the people waitin for me at the end?
Tell me why it seems like im seein things again
Tell me why im runnin and aint nobody around?
Tell me how i lost, man I never slowed down
I never gave a fucc, sprinted till I ran outta lucc
Now Im stucc, and just then bruh thats when I woke up
Feels like Im stucc, tryna push the limit
Tryna make it outta bounds stop the clocc another minute
But Im bound for the ot, tied for the spot
Feelin like an old g tired of the blocc
So I hang my head, let em put me bacc in
Tell my self Ill make it, If I push for it again
Startin to get traction, I can feel the burn
Switch gears now Im jookin but they aint lookin concerned
Take it then Im down, taccled to the ground
Lookin at the sidelines coach like, what now?
Here I am again, sweatin and defeated
Theres a lesson I could learn but i feel like I dont need it
Shit I am fiendin for a break, I need an escape
But my legs wont stop, Ima keep it up and play
Push it to the endzone,last play before it all ends
Grab the ball and run hard, then I get taccled again
Ayo its feels like Im caged, cant cope with the misery or the rage
Keep flippin through the all chapters, but stucc on the same page
Fucc iT Im so tired and every day is the same
I put the the heater to my head and then I heard a voice say
Were movin at the speed of life were all jus movin at the speed of life
no matter how fast slow wrong or right were just movin at the speed of life
And thats right now I get it, I got so caught up with the finish
That i didnt to take the time to enjoy it while i was in it
now I understand, Now i feel like I can just relax
Cause I know that in the end there is now way your goin bacc
And your stucc, wishin you had took the time to smile
you regret it cause you pushed yourself with every single mile
and you burned out, feelin like you aint accomplished shit
You forget the simple things like a loved ones kiss
Its the little things in life that you miss the most
I just hope, you we can all learn to let go

Take Me Back

I used to let my tape rocc bacc in school checc my jams
I got hataz I just aint met my fans
Am i the greatest haha yessir I am
so when they ask who the best is I raise my hand
Cause I get it in, like a shot from Jordan
Bacc in the 90s when the bulls were scorin
Bacc when the Wu was tourin
bacc before loui rags and swag were ever important
Bacc when cats still cyphered, out on the stoop
In a group tryna see who was nicer
Bacc when dudes still listened to Prince
Now Dont front, you know that Purple Rain was the shit
Bacc when Pac and biggie just blew up tha scene
And every body wore chuck T's with holes in there jeans
Haha Shit man, those were the days
bacc before a porch turned into a pacced out stage
Hook:Take Me bacc, to where it all began
To the roots of the tree before it started to branch
Just one mic one man one pen one pad
Bacc when cats still gave it all they had
See I remember spittin in my closet
Dirty clothes on not a bill in my wallet
Lookin for a bad beat, hopin for a good tracc
Writin till I fell asleep, Ill never get those days bacc
I remember days passed, chillin on the steps
We was rappin out loud with an old tape decc
Talkin like a gangsta, put it on the set
Till we all grew up and finally learned what it meant
Now we burn one and bless, learned from the death
Let me pay the legends homage cause we learned from the best
Now Im sippin liquor till it burns in my chest
Sicc a livin in the present so Im presently depressed
Evident Im better than these so called artists
wtf man, please dont get me started
Im already reminiscin sittin broken hearted
Please dont make me add a murder case to my charges

21 years ago, a child is born, thrust into the lions den
Hush little baby please dont fuss, please dont you cry again
Mommas still strugglin But she loves you jus the same
ANd your daddy hell be bacc soon, Hes tryin to make a change
And the nurses say your beautiful, But there eyes reflect their pain
ITs not that they didnt want you its just that there surprised you came
ANd the angels look from heaven, cause they knew from the very start
That your were placed in the jungle but in your chest was a lions heart
ANd Gods grace was made abundant, and the there was wisdom in your mind
And were given understanding of things far beyond your time
And You were picced for somethin special, but you must now heed the signs
If you waste your gift youll lose it and you will wither on the vine
Its so special child take it, make it into somethin good
But just remember you are different and will be misunderstood
But keep talkin tho it seems that, they dont hear you when you speak
All your words will follow closely theyll remember when they leave
Theyll come bacc and tell you sorry that they hadnt first believed
And child then thats when you can grasp the special gift that youve recieved
Such a power youve been blessed with, amd soon youll see the healing
Soon youll understand relate to those who feel the way your feeling
And your friends will ask you questions they were scared to ask themself
Cause they watched you when it happened and they saw they way you felt
And they know that you can understand the pain thats in there soul
And theyll cry on both your shoulders cuz they know you really know

Kill That Shit

I flow like, the blood of martyrs you succaz are not as smart as me
My artistry interveinous I told you its a part of me
Look pardon me, Im partial to politics and psychology
Profit off of the problems that other people are causin me
Callin me out, like I went inside for a minute
Soon as they can decipher the viper then I will be winnin
I fight to the finish cyphers come to life when im in it
The illest to ever touch the mic, the brightest thats spittin
The livest its gettin, i multiply like light in a prism
The rightfully given, the keeper of the time that your livin
Im righteously livid, I let em all think that died and they risen
Applied the precision i leave it all inscribed and and encrypted
A lion, topple giants go to war with religion
A theologen in my own right, quotin the scriptures
Our culture is missin, Im overthrowin rome in a minute
The coldest to rip it, aka what the games been missin
