[Intro]
Knowledge
I got to clock in before I clock out or drop out
I got to clock in before I clock out or drop out
I got to clock in before I clock out or drop out
I got to clock in before I clock out
I got to clock in before I clock out or drop out
I got to clock in before I clock out or drop out
I got to clock in before I clock out or drop out
I got to clock in before I clock out

[Verse 1: K.A.A.N.]
I'm seeing it all for what it is, there ain't no way around the truth
My train of thought is trekking forward, we on track with treacherous moves
Levelled the playing field, no oligarchs or dictators allowed
The solemn vow to keep it real above all, I'ma hold it down
You keep the throne, I'll take the crown while I'm standing on steady ground
Your mound is hollow, you could sink in and your tribе could follow you
The modest man gon' make thе most with what he's got to make it through
The pain could take you out your zone, don't let your past consume you
The root of evil isn't money, it's these hidden agendas
What lies below the surface, serpents circling on they feast
They just start fears and insecurity that eyes can't see
So what we have really reflects, it's not a new defect
In fact the formula's correct, no need to be upset
And stress about perceived imperfections, your spirit's infected
By all the influences intruding inside of your thoughts
You need light when you're lost in the dark and more heart
[Chorus]
They want us locked up dead in these institutions
Got us sick in the head from the air pollution
We been looking for the answers, we need solutions
At the least give us restitutions
They want us locked up dead in these institutions
Got us sick in the head from the air pollution
We been looking for the answers, we need solutions
At the least give us restitutions

[Verse 2: Blu]
Bless the music
Project peaceful lyrics, I protect the future
For the next generation make the best solution
Just to reach equality takes a revolution
And we can all do it if we put our minds to it
The truth is all in your face but the past is all in your mind
Don't make your time a waste by wasting your time chasing the dime
Make your mills, I should be making meals off of rhyme
Feeding seeds till they grow like most do, evolution
You could at least follow my lead and lead a movement
Or be locked up, mentally believing they confusion
Choose the truth, become a student to it

[Chorus]
They want us locked up dead in these institutions
Got us sick in the head from the air pollution
We been looking for the answers, we need solutions
At the least give us restitutions
They want us locked up dead in these institutions
Got us sick in the head from the air pollution
We been looking for the answers, we need solutions
At the least give us restitutions
[Outro]
"During crisises in our lives, life is made of these small moments that we let pass us. Success is how you collect your minutes, you spend millions of minutes to reach one triumph, one moment... then you spend maybe a thousand minutes enjoying it. If you're unhappy through those millions of minutes, what good is a thousand minutes of triumph. It doesn't equate. How many successful people end up in suicides? Life is made of small pleasures."
