The Complex

[Intro] Floating all night Floating all night Floating, floating, floating all night Statik Selektah [Verse 1: Pharoahe Monch] Say left, huh, left-right, left-right Wing hates exposure, but love a defeatist to death, right? Beat the defeatist morality 'til there's no feet left, right? Teach us the killer mentality to shove us some tech We are just another formality of government debt But Lord, what's worse is even after I served After I followed the scriptures and honored the word After I fought for America, got what I deserved, I Came back to racism, absurd You look down on me while I pick the garbage, you enjoy your melanin curb I'm like, "what's your thoughts, son, your bird's eye, bitch? You probably thinkin' I'm itchin' for my post-traumatic, huh? Is it because I'm twitchin' from the most dramatic shit I've ever seen?" My commanding officer yelling at the pregnant woman to drink from the latrine Little baby body layin' face down on the ravine I thought I'd be an action figure Kung-fu grip, and that ain't even the half, my nigga When I needed medication the doctor wouldn't respond Even when I told him I was the very first to respond He said.. [Chorus: Pharoahe Monch] Step left-right, left-right Step left-right, left-right Step left-right, left-right Right, left-right, left-right [Verse 2: Reks] Complexities of our complexion Different shape and size, look in the eyes, see a reflection Of what we feed mind, and body get chose Your alkaline skin glows Pharmaceutical companies pimp us like hoes With quick fixes mixin' the elixirs, too addictive Momma's prescription is the side effect, small printin' It's all business, industrial, revolution music You listen to it to just numb the reality Desentizized mentality, tablet to tongue to have relief The doctor's bedside manner make nana have belief Soilin' the soil tap water, we need to boil no seeds It's GMO if it grow, it needs to spoil, man-made Manipulation unpure, it's unnatural Doctors said it, we say it's factual, watch the ph scale Don't let them sell you on depression pills and chemo Lessons from the keynote, speaker on systems, we know [Chorus: Pharoahe Monch] Step left-right, left-right Step left-right, left-right Step left-right, left-right Right, left-right, left-right
