Alone and thinkin, zonin Then I pick up my ink pen and hold it Like the bullet that went in, they blinkin, I'm frozen Stuck between time, the pass and the present From early adolescence, to fiends that's crashin and beggin A pad is my blessin with it, I'm addin my lessons, so vivid Through life, things I've done wrong, and do right I had a few nights, of comin in drunk, fightin with punks At club, writin to front, stomp it with gloves Cats pumpin they drugs on Ave., I jumped in the cab Head to the lab, grab my pen and my pad, feel the wind draft Dump the insensce ash inside the hour glass Watchin it slowly slippin as I drift in the past Watchin the secret sands, remind me the extinction of man If we don't unite, I'll think of plans The king is a hand, the handwriting's on the wall of the project halls In graffiti, written like swahili All harmonic....

My verse runs deep like smack through a veterans vein See cats on the train beggin for change Need medicine for they pain, I'm in heavy rain Sweat testin my aim, carve in my bullets with the presidents name Destined to reign, feel guns bust while cats discuss About the gats they bust, and loyalty among employees The more weed, the more they mind's stay freed The more the nines get squeezed, the more the crime leads The more they blind me, push that light far behind me I seeked ashanti's and monks in the hills, I dwelled months for real No deal, but still hold the steel Sometimes I spaz out, pull my pad out Then my pad sprouts to a crackhouse, filled with drug dealers Some thugs, some killers, my pens a paintbrush Colorin the old school cats with gangstas For every word that I print on paper Is like a proverb from a prince in Asia

The greatest enemy will hide in the last place you would ever look,

The only way to get smarter is by playing a smarter opponent,

First rule of business, protect your investment.

There is no avoiding war, it can only be postponed to the advantage of your enemy,

harder the battle, sweater the victory.

the greatest con was believing he was you

Our reason for fighting is this.. We were only meant to fight in one war only That battle between the sons of light.. and the sons of darkness, ordained by God That is our service Now we see that this is that battle and we will fight.. Under your command

I stepped in the temple ashamed, naked and hurt Wet from the rain, my face shows pain I'm desperate in search for answers Grabbed the panther that the ushers handed Blood stain shown through my shirt cuz beneath, my arm was bandaged I walked up the aisle but didn't stop 'til I got the altar I was being blocked by the preacher's supporters But he'd seen my torture So-called friends filled me with false love I spoke "Sorry I have nothing to offer but lost hope and an empty soul" See the Devil tempts me like Jobe, everything I had I now owe He took my girl, shook my world, lost my crib It was all his except for my kids That's what I thought 'til I'm at court with my wiz She doubled-crossed me then slid She forced me to live in solitude now the bottle's my food But he stopped me cold and called me a fool He said I was rude the way I'd intrude Then I tossed him this jewel..

The greatest thing I've ever known.. Greatest thing I've ever known.. The greatest lesson ever learned.. The greatest lesson ever learned.. Most precious thing I've ever owned.. Most precious thing I've ever owned.. Though it left it shall return.. Though it left it shall return..

You judge me but what would you do if you was me? If you saw through my eyes, if you've felt the pain that I've felt inside What would you do? Would you cry? Ah, thought so, I do sometimes.. See you have a home and a swimming pool, the big backyard Large living room, fed with a silver spoon You probably sinning too but don't know Pardon me if I'm offending you but I won't go I question my faith, been in a depressional state Self-hate, one day blessings will wait Stared death in his fate, planning my 'scape I've seen D's stretching out tape I've 'visioned prison dates, injected with the venom of snakes Women with grapes, slept with in rooms pyramid-shaped Walls covered with hieroglyphics, I'm far from religious It was said in my first introduction which was Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth For me it went deeper than just reading a verse Seeing it first, I needed work
