lyrics

Sulaymon:
Constantly seein’ mirages/this world is a bunch of mirrors and camouflages/among other things/men deify themselves as kings/and force other men to kiss their rings/some wonder/if he agrees to live under/whether he/deserves this plunder/don’t be fooled by facades/he wants to fight/but he can’t risk his family’s life/that’s the historical truth/why die for freedom/if your loved ones die too?/strategy of The Man/Congo/cuttin’ off African boy hands/Capitalist/genocide plan/all the way to The Projects/crack cocaine prospects/in between a bullet and due process/trapped in the mix like a ship in the grip of Leviathan or Loch Ness/or Scylla and Charybdis/poverty/nothing more pernicious


BrotherOfMoses (B.O.M.):
Confusions/illusions/mistaken mirages/hide in my mind/the mental camouflages/I need to find a key/open wide like garages/I need to break these psychological massages/karmic connections arising from causes/the joy recedes/when we play through the pauses/break margins/stay chargin’/don’t give a damn/so we stay bogarting/seasoned veterans/and we know you just startin’/no matter where the seeds are sown/weeds grow in the garden/excuse me/pardon/for goin’ so hard and jigglin’ jargon/I’m a Martian like Weezy or Marvin/Bolivian Marchin’ like Spring was startin’/Reality returns/wild dreams is departin’/bring Keat on the beat/cuz I’m putting on the heart and/I will never fold and I’m puttin’ all the cards in/zoom into view/ideas enlargin’/like swarming armies/with alarming harmonies/we are charming thieves/who are charming these/MCs/like snakes in a weave/basket/tisket a tasket/put this beat in your speaker and blast it/transfixed in the mix/mind’s never mastered


(Black Dynamite): See where I’m comin’ from you jive motha—jive motha—fuckaaaa!!


Sulaymon:
Can’t tell you what’s fake or real/like Matrix shit up in here/I fear I won’t recover real soon/Hurricane/Whirlpool Blast/Typhoon/tossed my mind in several different directions/trapped like/Department of Corrections/subjected/to whims of my mind/and my mind’s very whimsical/you will find/where are we going?/where did we come from?/questions I ask/but the former one/is impossible/to answer/got to/lower/lower your standards/not a Portrait more a Torture/Of The Artist As A Young Man/no battle plan/trapped like Uncle Sam on Iraq sand/God damn/not like them/smooth like butter/get out of jams/then I toast/crumble and melt with the marijuana smoke
