What Eye Said

[Verse 1: Chuck D]

Yeah, It takes a Nation

Is it just my hallucination?

These microphones designed like war drones

Who drop bombs

On women, children, and moms

Gots the nerve to bring it here in this atmosphere

Who really cares? Even those closest near

Pickup trucks creatin' fear

Who wake up caught, mad at the mirror

Woke up with nobody to hear ya

With a bad attitude

Forget how you look dude

Because ugly is under your face, my dude

No biggie, I figured

Can you rap a verse

Without first writing a curse? (Uh)

Diamond in the teeth

Media beef

Diggin' the scene on the shit I'm seeing

Hmm

[Chorus: Chuck D]

What I said

What I said

What I said

What I said

What I said

What I said

What I said

What I said

[Verse 2: Chuck D]

Create fast like you're gonna die tomorrow

Posting ain't talking

Texting ain't writing

Scrolling and reading

Grits ain't groceries, cyborg soul

Sorta like Rock N' Roll

Chess ain't checkers

I'm in a world you can only hope to get to

Better pray your current world

Don't forget you, And let you

I'm everywhere and nowhere at the same time

Should be a crime

Now losing my rhyme

64 bars to memorize

Saw a shrink to help me get it hypnotized

Hmm

[Chorus: Chuck D]

What I said

What I said

What I said

What I said

[Verse 3: Chuck D]

Five fingers of Black Death

Hypertension, diabetes, cancer, stress

Toxic, worst of everything

Bad food fueling the youth, through the tooth

Killing middle age

Killing OGs too

More than street beef and shooting

Is it beef stuck in your teeth?

What is you doin'?

Time is like a river

Running like dark liquor on the liver

Fix my mouth to deliver

Hmm

[Chorus: Chuck D]

What I said

What I said

What I said

What I said

What I said

What I said

What I said

What I said

What I said
