Knowmads
Pick me a parte! (pete the genius remix)
Sometimes I wonder if everything that created me
Will be satisfied by all that I create
I am frustrated by the future, it seems fixated
I get faded til I don't care anymore
I stare at the floor from the ceiling, more appealing
Than kneeling to a god I've never seen and
Powerful people can deceive you
Til you don't believe that this country was stolen from those who owned it
Turned totem poles to homeless broken souls
'cuz motherfuckers are greedy
Leaving families needy
Kids spray graffiti and smoke weed
I break laws like y'all broke treaties
So don't treat me like a different species
'Cuz I used to watch TV till my eyes were sore, and
Some of y'all don't even believe in dinosaurs
There was a time before this was ours
Before there were roads for cars and your mini iPods
And I came to bein' from nothin' to breathin'
And maybe there's nothin' but being human and there's nothing at all
I find it hard to comprehend, an end of beginnings
See I was born a Christian but I got a habit for sinnin' and
I don't know if Jesus can see us or if Islam's the truth
See me rippin' out bible pages twistin' Buddha with intelligent youth
I'll make you prove to me that you was tellin' the truth
'Cuz kids in the ghetto turn to felons and troops
Either locked in cages or cockin' gauges
I be watchin' faces prayin' to God save us
And I say what I feel
I'm feelin', sadder than ever from the cloud scattered weather
Or the lack of the treasure
I be actin' whatever, and crackin' a beverage while I'm rappin' to Trevor
Never let you discover 'cuz I'm still undercover
Enough of the shields and the 'keep it real'
I don't give a fuck what you think
I'll let it sink in your heart like a kiss in the dark
Touchin' my hand while you pick me apart
I used to drink in a park now I'm sittin' cozy
You don't know me or the woman who made my soul be
I hold cold 4-0's of O.E
And curse and spit with some stupid homies
While y'all talk politics sippin' a latte
You be bridging the gap but you missin' the walkway
I be on the valley floor yellin' to churches
Who be fightin' these wars just to tell me my purpose?
It's worthless
