[Intro: Sun Ra clip]
...fought against all my so-called "life"
That's to get involved with the folks on this planet
And tell them the truth
Which is... which is entirely different from the "truth" they know
It's entirely different
If I... if I do that, every church door would close
Every government building would close
They would close in honor
Of the one who owns this planet
Who's very concerned about it, and uh...
Who, if people don't turn...
He's gonna give them their eviction notice
And he sent me to do it
If they... their eviction notice, they can go somewhere else
One black man asked me, "where we going?"
I said, "not my problem"
[Soul sample]
Let's go to my place...
But now, babe, all these years, I found out you just lied in front of my face
[Verse: M.E.D.]
(Yeah... Snakes 101)
Now, witness how the world turn
Bridges burn, brothers earn stripes, bullets burn, lives took
Rhyme book I write, past times and present
I’m the reflection of hard times and pleasure
For those misdirected by fake thugs on records
Who breed brothers to fail from jail records
I upset the set-up, guns bomb vendetta
Young stars get wet up
Graves dug, reasons black sons stuck together
Streets hot when the weather was cold
Old Gold pleasure the soul, prayers carry you home
Shit’s same in every area code
Get change, see change in every nigga you know
Hold no grudge (uh-uh), 'cause when amongst snakes
Lettin' friends too close is your own mistake
No bling, all you see is the pearly gates – wait!
[Outro: Sample and (M.E.D.)]
Ohhh, jealousy in your insecurity... (They pulling me back)
Your jealousy obey your insecurity (Wait)
Oh, jealousy in your insecurity... (Watch out, watch out)
(Uh, uh... Snakes 101)
