Sum of Us

[Chali 2na]

Sparkin' extreme spinach

Watchin' your scene plumett

If lyrics were green vomit

My vocals would clean stomachs

Addicts wean from it

Where dreams and green run it

The faces on money change like the host on Teen Sumit

I'm close to being done with this industry's cream driven

Supreme livin', seein' more demons than Gene Simmons

And mean fibbin' actors be adlibbin'

Fakin' the funk and some of us naturally had rhythm

Some of us act like they had women

Gats in the abdomen back when the fact is them cats

They didn't have nuttin

For certain I'm sure it's fiction but for some

The purest diction

Insures their jurisdiction

I'm kicking it up a level trying to stay in the red

Some stay in the bed, zombie

Like the Day of the Dead

With decay in the head

Playin' instead of stayin' ahead

Steadily portrayin' celebs, delayin' the inevitable

When some come round

They run down when they touch ground

They climb up the structures unsound

Some of you like the way my words caress tracks

While some of these politicians secretly suppress facts

Chorus: (2X)

[Both]

I'm sayin' through songs I write

My wrongs I right

If you wanna fight the power

Get the power to fight

Cuz some of us judge without knowing the man's inner

And some of us find fault in the sin and not the sinner

[Akil]

Influential ideas

Push pressure on my peers

That's why most of these brothers have short term careers

You appear to be what's happenin'

For a year you crackin'

One hitter quitter now you missin' in action

With no satisfaction from the streets

I only hear foolishness when you speak

I repeat, my predecessor's endeavor with pleasure

Lock and load, explode and come better

Hopin that generation X

Be more wicked with the flex

And not so quick to cash a check

And disrespect, talkin' guns and sex

Chasin' death, but end up gettin' layed to rest

At your request

You're at the end of your line

Out of your mind

Idle women, weed and wine

And shells for your nine

The blind lead the blind

Time after time

When you rhyme for the shine

Chorus (2X)

[Chali 2na]

Yo, I'm tellin' you to REBEL

But dude, if you stale

The 2na can tell

Either you're comin' to the party or you truant as hell

Politicians ain't got no problem puttin' you in the cell

It's like we rolled up a snowball and threw it in hell

See some of us are looted with mail and suited to swell

But still blind like you're fluent in Braille

[Akil]

Yo, I never can tell uh, why some make it or fail

Speak it and spell overcome and still prevail

[Chali 2na]

We ripple the water frequently

Blink if we show delinquency, please

Human frequencies

Have been diseased, A breeze ain't what I'm feelin'

Healin' is essential

Mental aggrivation shows you what we've been through

[Akil]

Yo, sign of the times influence the way I rhyme, man

Pick up a nine and put down your picket sign, man

Your life is worth way more than just some diamonds

Without bling I still gleam

Glisten and shine, man

Chorus (2X)
