[Verse 1: Big Gipp]
You write, really? Scribble, scribble, dilly dabble, brother
Clear with the math numbers, gassed off him
No mercy, didn't grow up in the projects though
Do you like a cholo, Southern boy up in the polo
Lennox done turned to Greenbriar, fire in the sky
Wish my folks wouldn't kill
Wish my partner wouldn't deal
Police got eyes in the hills
Looking for my people, just in case they had full fever
Bill Gates wouldn't tag a mutant like a dog
Slaughterhouse is full of hogs
Politics got me dancing like a stripper
You lil' foul mouth bitch playing traffic
[Pre-Chorus: Big Boi]
Dungeon family is the clique
We reach into the goodie bag and we'll let any nigga have it
In no particular order, so what's happening?
[Chorus: Khujo Goodie]
Things ain't always what it seems
What's worse, selling dope or selling dreams?
Let 'em row your boat, they'll leave you upstream
Lost in the Matrix, prey for the sheep
Prey for the sheep
Things ain't always what it seems
What's worse, selling dope or selling dreams?
Let 'em row your boat, they'll leave you upstream
Lost in the Matrix, prey for the sheep
Prey for the sheep
[Verse 2: Big Boi]
Everybody playin' dumb
The sum of all fears, it appears to have the general public numb
So some run to guns store quick to buy gun
And clips for the sticks of hundred round drums
Now who really want the smoke when it's time to pump-pump?
Only chump jump a nigga that's down for 1-on-1
I am 1 of 1 original, physical and digital
Copies, they get bodied, we don't give fuck who you listen to
Yeah we glistening too, balling in the whole bit
We giving power through knowledge straight from this bull pit
They preying on the sheep while the flock flocks
It's the end of days, watch the tick-tock
[Chorus: Khujo Goodie]
Things ain't always what it seems
What's worse, selling dope or selling dreams?
Let 'em row your boat, they'll leave you upstream
Lost in the Matrix, prey for the sheep
Prey for the sheep
Things ain't always what it seems
What's worse, selling dope or selling dreams?
Let 'em row your boat, they'll leave you upstream
Lost in the Matrix, prey for the sheep
Prey for the sheep
[Verse 3: Khujo Goodie]
Tabernacle, synagogue, charge it to the game
Full speed ahead, smoking like a freight train
All work, no play, foundation layed
Blood sweat and tears from the cradle to the grave
Glitch in the game, operation bait and switch
Like a high, catch 'em waitin' on a wild bitch
Scamlanta, everybody tryna run their play
Fuck a ring, fuck a trophy, just tear the tape
Think it's cake, well it ain't, egg in your face
Redshirt, khaki pants like my name was Jake
Wake and bake, big steak like a wordsmith
Got a million of our kinfolk, don't even trip
[Chorus: Khujo Goodie]
Things ain't always what it seems
What's worse, selling dope or selling dreams?
Let 'em row your boat, they'll leave you upstream
Lost in the Matrix, prey for the sheep
Prey for the sheep
Things ain't always what it seems
What's worse, selling dope or selling dreams?
Let 'em row your boat, they'll leave you upstream
Lost in the Matrix, prey for the sheep
Prey for the sheep
[Verse 4: T-Mo]
Being black is a blessing and a curse
Living with the pain and the hurt
Take a stand as a word
Concentrating thinking of a master plan
Got a mic and a Black as I sat with the concept
Just wanna raise my kids right, protect them at all costs
And never to fall off
You thought that I would, I'm reaching higher than ever
To levels infested with devils and snakes
I see the hate in your eyes when I walk by
Taught by your people, to hate black people
Take the sheep to the shepherd or the church
Organized, come together, let's work
Get this money man
[Chorus: Khujo Goodie (Big Gipp)]
Things ain't always what it seems
What's worse, selling dope or selling dreams?
Let 'em row your boat, they'll leave you upstream (They will)
Lost in the Matrix, prey for the sheep
Prey for the sheep
Things ain't always what it seems
What's worse, selling dope or selling dreams?
Let 'em row your boat, they'll leave you upstream
Lost in the Matrix, prey for the sheep
Prey for the sheep
