[Verse 1]
It's my philosophy, so fuck hypocrisy, though shadows
Follow me, you know it's hollow G, life has no policy
My life with honesty, I'm fighting through this odyssey
It's hard to see somebody honestly acting with modesty
My life's my art, the words I speak are my utensil
From your ear back to the record, from the mic back to the pencil
I travel mentally through years, decades and centuries
To learn the elementaries, my life on documentary
Exposing my art, as close as my heart
A rose in the dark, so fuck the hoes who pose in the park
To close to the start of my ending, I hope I reach ya
My teacher was the streets n' this rap music my preacher
No region remains unseen when my spirit travels
I'm a rebel soldier here to win the war so fuck the battle!
Dismantle every plan and scam hatred grows in
Now time is frozen, this is my thoughts that I'm exposing
[Chorus]
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
[Verse 2]
The ink of my pen is my blood, now you laugh
Every word is a weapon so feel the wrath of my paragraph!
A mental bond beyond when de song finishes
The essence of dj’s and b-boys on graffiti images
I'm just a poet of the illest streets, fighting for my little piece
Like the middle east 'gainst them evil beasts
Over a record while the needle speaks, my mind in the riddle seeks
Answer to the question "When this shit’ll cease?"
And that day, I'll still be reppin' to the fullest;
My life depends on music, not how fast I dodge some bullets
You clueless n***as just getting blinded by the spotlight
Learn how to use your cock right, that shit you do is not hype
So while you getting blinded by materialism I'm not dissin'
I spit this shit just wishin’ that your ear’d listened
So I can change the way you look at your emotions
Now time is frozen, this is my thoughts that I'm exposing
[Chorus]
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
[Verse 3]
This ain't a speech, it's a message, you ain't hear this clear?
I ain't here to preach, I'm here to reach, that's my purpose here
Only thing that's capable to stop me since my birth is fear
But my momma taught me as a shorty how to persevere
N' even though the worst is near, I gotta keep strong
After the light has disappeared and after the heat's gone
When I'm only left with beats to put me n' my peeps on…
This is my life, my story, my ghetto, my street song!
He's wrong; whoever doubts my capabilities
Abilities only excel on tales as real as these
It's my confession room, my church, my purgatory
You heard the story, the game ain't just the fame and glory
There's a lotta struggle, a lotta sweat a lotta tears
Cuz it's not as clear, impossible for lotta peers
You gotta have the notion, a man who puts a plan in motion
Now time is frozen, this is my thoughts that I'm exposing
[Chorus]
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
Now time is frozen
This is my thoughts that I'm exposing
