Mix the mix master DJ play dat beat
|
Won't you play it for me
|
In the mix mister, ha, forward
|
The second somebody dies somebody else is born
|
People are celebrating while other people morn
|
Home may be home to you but to me it's foreign
|
Even the matador don't pull the bull by the horns
|
One man's enemy is another man's friend
|
One man's poison is another man's medicine
|
So let us sit, let us sit, and let us view
|
The changing of the guard
|
So it's so hard to keep it true (so hard to keep it true)
|
It's the balance of the scales it can't be challenged or expelled
|
Soon as somebody lost somebody else prevails
|
Someone is quiet, at the same time someone yells (Yeah, Yeah)
|
Half full or half empty, water in the well
|
Chorus
|
It's the half and half hypothesis, the 50/50 theory
|
Eerie as it may seem
|
Check your Balance Beam 2X
|
Yo check, check
|
Yo, yo, check your Balance Beam with a feather and a rock
|
And whether or not your find the answer is really not the plot
|
See it's like love (love) and hate
|
The same emotion, different weight (and hate)
|
People love to hate
|
So I know you know just how this all relates
|
It's the posa- and the nega-tive
|
Mini and the mega live
|
Arm a leg a leg a arm headed by a nigga
|
Like big and small or short and tall
|
Night and day and so on
|
Some people are bashful
|
Some people just love to get they flow on (love to get they flow on)
|
So here goes one to grow on
|
I'm a go on and on and on
|
Til the principles are laid out (and on)
|
The scales of justice weighted out (and on)
|
Til your memory starts to fade out (and on)
|
And your game of life is played out
|
Got to balance out the power don't we?
|
Balance your emotions
|
Push and pull positions like the moon pulls on the ocean
|
Balance on one foot that's equilibrium
|
Opposites attract and retract that's a fact
|
I'm a Libra ya'll
|
180 degrees but not that hot
|
So whether or not you find the answer is really not the plot
|
Because giving is receiving
|
And seeing is believing
|
And the solar system rotates so harmonious and even
|
It's perfectly balanced
|
Break
|
Some people say life is about taking chances
|
Choices and decisions (Choices and decisions)
|
Voices and opinions
|
Politics and religion (Politics and religion)
|
Clues to the past and cash and keys to the future
|
It's a possibility and probability on who's gone execute yo ass
|
Some slow and analytical
|
Some quick fast on the dash
|
Like heads or tails but the heads usually leads the tail
|
So I tell my tells from the head cause there embedded inside my cells
|
Real quick let me tell bout the fact I do know
|
Things'll even out
|
You disbelieve or doubt
|
Or even shout or leave it in your mouth
|
Now, how you gone reason with grandmother nature
|
Running mother earth
|
Controlled by father time who's the chaser
|
It's living and dying homey (Living and dying)
|
Laughing and crying dude (Laughing and crying)
|
Trying or lying my brother (Trying or lying)
|
Walking or flying fool (Walk or fly)
|
Now half of you are gone find the time to shine
|
The other half gone find crime
|
Money, weed, wine
|
Til it's to late (Oh nah!) in a disillusion state (It's over man!)
|
Of mind (Too late)
|
I just found my peace of mind now they want a piece of mine (Too late)
|
Too late (Nah man, we closed!)
|
In the disillusion state of mind (It's over man!)
|
I just found me peace of mind now they want a piece of mine
|
The orthodox is the unorthodox
|
They just got you on the names the insane
|
And the sane are the same
|
It's a damn shame
|
So many people aim is so lame
|
And their gain is so minimal
|
Caught up in a subliminal
|
With pleasure there's pain
|
Is water for the flames?
|
The wild and the tame
|
The style still remains
|
If you use the right side of your brain
|
Instead of going against the grain
|
You can penetrate the vein
|
To the point where what remains
|
Is a stain of this universal thang
|
That we call Balance, Balance, Balance
|
Break
|
|
