My mind bending ism's, divert like prism's..
Creating a schism that offers opposite visions..
Decisions that could land you in prison..
Or convene you to accomplish lifes mission..
Whatever your intention, just listen..
And realise its your time to be risen..
Empowered as people, and as a culture of kings..
Hip Hop as a philosophy has been buried it seems..
Whether its misdirection or less education..
The scholors of Hip Hop need to stop the degredation..
Every generation there's a false Idol holding the crown..
While real lyricist's underdround keep holding it down..
Am only a clown, or do a speak the truth..
These questions arise when im in the booth..
But I continue to fight and continue to write..
And trust that im right to get through the night..
its my intention to start an intervention..
inspite of the doubters that claim no one's listen'n.

Yeah, we admit there’s a game to revitalize
But hold up a second, we got wardrobes to stylize
Obsessed with all we get, what we did on our own
For diamonds, mink coats and that Diddy cologne!
Let’s get in the zone til we’re gettin’ it on
Always told keep it real but I’m spittin alone
But if you listen to the vibe of my syllables’ tone
You can see hip hop and how it’s vision is shown
An everyday youngin that lives in a throne
With dissipating funds that he’s willingly blown
On a fresh pair of Nikes, he’s kickin ‘em on
Leading his brigade straight into the unknown
Makin’ sure he don’t scuff ‘em to show he’s worth something
Workin in a little bass to get the place pumpin!
Raisin' up his hands just to get the place jumpin
Holdin out the microphone to hear ‘em say somethin!
Bump him, praise him, somebody save him
Before his own state’s local radio betrays him
And makes him commercial and sends him to the ground
So his heartfelt lyrics aren’t so sentimental now
Correct the misdirection, don’t let him steer away
If the tune is too low the turn up ya hearing aid
Just to give the gift of lettin’ him spit again
That is if hip hop is listenin’

Lets switch up the 'atmosphere' with my 'brother ali'
Sitting on the porch and he's just talking all mean
Then we spot a 'Cannibal Ox' chomping on dog spleen
Damn this is 'Surreal' but he licked the dog clean
Looked to the sky in search for some 'Organized Konfusion'
Found an 'Animate Object' the started the boozin
I stumbled upon a book filled with some 'Aesop' fables
Didn't 'Bucc Rogerz' teach me my times tables?
After tonight they better not stick me in a 'Cage' again
I'll punch him in his 'Crooked I' and fuckin slay him
Well we watched an indian movie 'Tribe Called Quest'
Then we happened to watch 'Jedi Mind Tricks' next
It sounds nerdy but I will master the 'Immortal Technique'
If I could only lift up my 'Little Brother' he would freak
My 'Brother Lynch' told me to chill with the 'Mind Tricks'
But I had no 'Apathy' just a clenched fist stupid bitch
Maybe we might finish this off with one more "Eyedea'
You're fucked if 'Sage' and 'Francis' couldn't stop your diarrhea
Can someone please tell me whats up with all of this
When I started it was just rap an not all this hip-hop shit
