[Chorus:]
|
You won't believe the things I've seen
|
Far beyond your wildest dreams
|
I've seen chaos and order reign supreme
|
I've seen the beauty of the universe
|
so peaceful and serene
|
in seconds turn to violence and screams
|
|
I've seen true genius, too often to lose the meaningless
|
appreciation of this mediocre nation
|
I've heard the mind is repetition,
|
of empty words without tradition
|
Turned original verbs into submission
|
I smelled this malignerance addiction,
|
but I guess I wouldn't be right
|
if I said the blunt was like a baby pipe
|
There ain't gon' be no revolution tonight
|
Half of my warriors as high as a kite
|
Lost and they lost all they fight
|
And I've tasted, the bitter tragedy of lives wasted
|
And men who glimpsed the darkness inside, but never faced it
|
And it's a shame that most of y'all are followin sheep
|
Wallowin deeper than the darkness, you're fallin asleep
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
You won't believe the things I've seen
|
Far beyond your wildest dreams
|
I've seen chaos and order reign supreme
|
I've seen the beauty of the universe
|
so peaceful and serene
|
in seconds turn to violence and screams
|
|
I've seen and experienced things
|
that'll push the average to the edge and swan dive to death
|
I'm two guys, multiplied by ninety-three guys
|
Evenly balanced seein evil equally in each eye now
|
Maybe I'm the most thorough worker on the job to you
|
or maybe I'm the one, who was plottin to rob you
|
The fear of this beatdown, the women on no cash to floss
|
makes most of y'all hustle ya ass off
|
From nothin to two mill', in five years I'll live to see it
|
vanish in six months, with no tears believe it
|
I'll rock, twenty-eight years before the Feds can lay a trace
|
See they plan is to erase me, just to replace me
|
|
Life! Your heart is one with your brain
|
Emotional or reason, now which one do you obey?
|
Life! Somebody callin you insane
|
When overwhelmed and blessed, burst in tears of happiness
|
|
Yo, yo, I've seen relationships that's so sick
|
Life long friendships so cha-o-tic
|
Thug cat bangin this chick but won't kiss
|
Drinkin her spit, when coppin a fix for dope bliss
|
I got a knife and a bat, to bust your brain, put a knife in your back
|
"Once in the Life" I was trifle like that
|
like my man Troy, who lost his days
|
shootin dice on worldly ways
|
and ended up in a early grave
|
Because once in a lifetime is rough
|
Twice in a lifetime you combat the ghost of mistrust
|
Mentally cuffed, thrust by a cop thinkin he tough
|
You bust, Amadou Diallo is us, and what
|
now I'm on my knees, beggin' "God, please!
|
Save me from the fires of hell!
|
Let water water soul prevail" - cos I can't take no more
|
Who's that knockin, at, my door?
|
Is that you, Pete from Cobb's Creek, who died in my sleep?
|
We was playin for fun, now it's keeps
|
Like my man Mark I beat to death wrapped in a carpet
|
and left in the garbage, now that's cold-hearted
|
Ask Book he saw it, "Yo black I ain't seen (shit)
|
Kids in the 6, they flip for nonsense"
|
Poke an icepick, smokin that (shit) since preschool fool
|
and packin a tool, (fuck you) Mom Dukes it's cool
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
You won't believe the things I've seen
|
Far beyond your wildest dreams
|
I've seen chaos and order reign supreme
|
I've seen the beauty of the universe
|
so peaceful and serene
|
in seconds turn to violence and screams
|
|
Life! Your heart is one with your brain
|
Emotional or reason, now which one do you obey?
|
Life! Somebody callin you insane
|
When overwhelmed and blessed, burst in tears of happiness
|
