The Great Controversy (Tired)
Don’t know what is the deal
But I’m tired
Insane in the membrane like Cypress Hill
The way they organize the system of the school
I can’t help it
I’ll do nothin but drool
Still waiting for that moment
No need for anti-depresent
Thinkin of the future, thinkin of the Father
When I struggle in the present
Whenever I’m a father in the future
I hope my children will listen
Cause I’m not messin or dissin
Out there in the world they brainwashin
Now go ahead and pick up your head
My son go up and tidy your bed
Now live your life up to the highest
Be the brightest
take my bread
Take my bread
Like the Father sent His son
That’s what He said
Now this liberty no it ain’t free
Just look around
How many dead
Tired of the bullshit going on
Dropping bombs in Palestine
Izzy made a different creature
Askin love like Frankenstein
Open up your eyes and now go see
That Blood will truly set you free
Even pacifism got martyrs that would really die for me
Humiliated, violated for the sake of the Almighty
My persona of heresy
Unmask the Great Controversy
Does it even concern ya-When the doctor- Feed the children with concerta?
Poppin pills to stop withdrawals
Semi auto like beretta
Thinkin better ways to go ahead and do my therapy
My psychiatrist with his promises
I see the slavery
Now shut the fuck up man with that bullshit saying you know me
Medical history ain't shit
The only truth is spoken by me
You can drug me, you can fight me, diagnose
Go lie to my mommy...
I got this fight alone
But my dear LORD will not forsake me
Going to this Promise Land
They call it Exodus
But there something else they did not tell
When I saw the prejudice
Pop a gat to Malcolm X
But the Panthers didn't stop
I wonder who is next
To be hung in the crucifix?
Wise men and wise women is something this world really rejects
Now I wonder when we ever gonna ask this fuckin question
Reason the perception bout da schooling education
Nowadays we be asking
"Oh damn what are your grades?"
I guess we becoming too liberal
Not asking things like
"Oh damn what have you learned?"
What can I earn? I'm misunderstood
Wherever I turn
This anger of mine being a sign
A call to prayer I must discern
These tears of mine I must remind
Myself I got Allah
Allah—Jehovah, Elohim, Immanuel
I seen a lot in my age
But I Don't know if they can tell
I'll go ahead and explain to them
If that is what He Wills
I don't know if yall know
What it's like to be 17 going through a midlife crisis
Unexpected bullshit coming up in my life like rolling dices
A lot things go on at home whether I'm alone or not within my family
But that's private shit...
Some things gotta remain confidential while I save my sanity
Reality— be telling us that life is never fair
But it breaks heart when someone's in need and then we never share
No Flex Zone? Neither do you also know and perceive of what is better
How bout a No Flight Zone
On those people getting droned
In the Middle East who need a Saviour
If you ever wanna ask a question about my identity
Don't be ashamed
And don't you ever comfort me for the sake of pity
I pray that y'all can comprehend this
If troubles come along in life,
Start a revolution
You ain't Guevara but surely you got this
I've seen two worlds falling apart already
What makes you think I cannot endure a third one
If I can still smile
Though I am seemingly vile
You can call me Rocky
Cause if I can do it, you can do it
We all can do it
Sí se puede
You know that Chavez said it.
Two-hundred fifty mile march
Now that's a struggle and you know he never regret it
All these idealistic intentions
Yeah, we might see them as good
But he and the other liberators were persecuted for the sake of brotherhood
Mandela, Martin Junior, and Minister Malcolm
All humans for tranquility is welcomed but their mind is too extreme
The choices were death or live in prison
