Things I've Seen

You won't believe the things I've seen

Far beyond your wildest dreams

I've seen chaos and order reign supreme

I've seen the beauty of the universe

So peaceful and serene

In seconds turn to violence and screams

I've seen true genius

Too often elude the meaningless

Appreciation of this mediocre nation

I've heard the mindless repetition

Of empty words without tradition

Turn original verbs into submission

I smelled this malignerance addiction

But I guess I wouldn't be right

If I said the blunt was like a baby pipe

There ain't gonna be no revolution tonight

Half my warriors as high as a kite

Lost and they lost all their fight

And I've tasted the bitter tragedy of lives wasted

And men who glimpsed the darkness inside

But never faced it

And it's a shame that most of y'all are followin' sheep

Wallowin' deeper than the darkness

You're fallin' asleep

You won't believe the things I've seen

Far beyond your wildest dreams

I've seen chaos and order reign supreme

I've seen the beauty of the universe

So peaceful and serene

In seconds turn to violence and screams

I've seen and experienced things

That'll push the average to the edge

And swan dive to depth

I'm two guys, multiplied by ninety-three guys

Evenly balanced seein' evil equally in each eye now

Maybe I'm the most thorough worker on the job to you

Or maybe I'm the one who was plottin' to rob you

The fear of this beatdown, no women or no cash to floss

Makes most of y'all hustle ya ass off

From nothin' to two mil in five years

I'll live to see it vanish in six months

With no tears, believe it

I'll rock twenty-eight years before the Feds can lay a trace

See they plan is to erase me, just to replace me

Hmm, like, your heart is warring with your brain

Emotional or reason, now which one do you obey?

Hmm, like, somebody callin' you insane

When overwhelmed and blessed

Bursting tears of happiness

Yo, yo, I've seen relationships that's so sick

Life-long friendships so chaotic

Thug cat bangin' his chick but won't kiss

Drinkin' her spit when coppin' a fix for dope bliss

I got a knife and a bat to bust your brain

Put the knife in your back once in the life

I was trifling like that

Like my man Troy, who lost his days

Shootin' dice on worldly ways and ended up in a early grave

Because once in a lifetime is rough

Twice in a lifetime you combat the ghosts of mistrust

Mentally cuffed, thrust by a cop thinkin' he tough

You bust, Amadou Diallo is us, and what

Now I'm on my knees beggin' God please

Save me from the fires of hell

Let water, water soul prevail

'Cause I can't take no more

Who's that knockin' at my door?

Is that you, Pete, from Cobb's Creek

Who died in his sleep?

We was playin' for fun, now it's keeps?

Like my man Mark I beat to death wrapped in a carpet

And left in the garbage

Damn now that's cold-hearted

Ask Brook he saw it

Yo black I ain't seen shit

Kids in the six, they flip for nonsense

Poke an icepick, smokin' that sniff, coke to preschool fool

And packin' a tool, fuck you mom

Dukes it's cool

You won't believe the things I've seen

Far beyond your wildest dreams

I've seen chaos and order reign supreme

I've seen the beauty of the universe

So peaceful and serene

In seconds turn to violence and screams

Ooh like your heart is warring with your brain

Emotional or reason, now which one do you obey?

Hmm, like, somebody callin' you insane

When overwhelmed and blessed

Bursting tears of happiness

A, a, a, a, a, a, a, a
