• 'You claim to be the man, you want me for a lover,
  So you can do my girlfriends and my sister and my mother?'

• Cloned chickens walking around without heads,
  The food is contaminated, the water got lead in it.
  Population control, make the babies sick,
  All these RFID chips, RU-486...
  This is a war against consciousness,
  Controlling your soul, sort of a psychological dictatorship.
  And we are on the front lines,
  Guilty as charged if intellect is a crime.

• You know them days you just got the blues,
  All stressed and depressed from just watchin' the news?
  No matter what good you do, it seems you always get screwed.
  Got you caught up in your feelings, now you off in the mood.
  Shake that attitude and do what you can,
  Set a couple goals, follow through with your plans.
  Time waits for no man and tomorrow's not promised,
  So if she's still alive, shoot a call to your mama.
  Cause the fighting and the drama, it's just not worth it,
  Nobody's perfect, ain't none of us worthless.
  We all got a place, and we all got a purpose.

• Now I'm not the type that gets upset,
  Try to disrespect folks just to earn respect.
  But learn this fact: whether white or black,
  I can't be conquered in my style of rap.

  Just forgiveness required for the wrong that's done.

• I don't get pat down, you know what's on the waist,
  I don't mean Jazz when I say I "count base."
  Fly Louis sneakers, Purple Tape coming out the speakers,
  Bumped into my high school teachers,

  Now I'm sitting in the Phantom, trynna figure out the features.
  I'm a big fish now, I watch for the leeches.
