[Intro]
One, two
Huh
[Verse 1]
Man, I hold a vision of the life I'll be living
If I played a little different, maybe I'd make a difference
Maybe I'd make a million, some children
Maybe be another face working in the building
Building a future for a family, so I could get divorced
'Cause nah, no woman could handle me
Forever, couldn't stay together for life
Too many broken homes, 'cause people just settle for nice
A level of life that we feed
The Devil's disguised as TV whispering, "You need me."
And we're knee-deep, living in this shit
And we breathe every bit and we bleed every drip of blood
For what reason? For Jesus?
Who last seen him?
Yo, I believe, but he's like Houdini
And my beliefs are as thin as a bulimic
A fiend, I'm a phoenix, feeding off of this sunset
But everyone's got problems that they will run rest
To get away from
Like when I got something to say, man, I say it wrong
Won't just simply go away if you wave a wand
The day is long the nights get cold
And the whole world will still revolve on its axis
The day is long, the nights get cold
'Cause the whole world's controlled by actors
[Turntablism]
"Nowadays the all got game, all want fame
They all complain" "On the real"
"Nowadays the all got game, all want fame
They all complain" "I represent"
"Nowadays the all got game, all want fame
They all complain" "On the real"
"Nowadays they all want fame" "uh-huh"
"I represent the just blast, I represent the planet"
[Verse 2]
I hold a key passed to me by my elders
Sword-swingers and kings of the axe like Elvis
Eldest male in this offspring
The kid felt lost in school and it ended up costing him
One path to his future life
Could've been dragged down hanging with abusive types
A music life never even came into the picture
Never though I would spit you a scripture
Never thought I'd be fit for entertainment
Fit to be rich and famous like Matt Damon or Rayman
But Ronan was known to be roamin' like sandals
Ramble won't flip phatter than Kareem Campbell
This man or the next man
Hyper than a handful of dexamphetamine
I mean a bigger handful than
Seventeen Lebanese chicks on ketamine pill
And they only just turned seventeen, for real!
I'm still the same old person
Lurking in search for my Elle McPherson, for real!
I'm still in search for my worth on this Earth
And emerge from the dirt with the vermin
I'm still determined and serving none
Won't be part of your games like Colonel Klump
But jump ship, front-flipping, diving into the water
Opening the treasure chest, there's one thing I'm short of
[Turntablism]
"Nowadays the all got game, all want fame
They all complain" "On the real"
"Nowadays the all got game, all want fame
They all complain" "I represent"
"Nowadays the all got game, all want fame
They all complain" "On the real"
"Nowadays they all want fame" "uh-huh"
"I represent the just blast, I represent-"
[Verse 3]
Thump the floor, juggernaut, walking the path
Don't feel, love a war if you're born short of a heart
Like jaws of a shark, it takes a chunk out of your life
Like war in Iraq, don't even know what you're fighting for
No warning, just born and die
Losing hope, feeling cheated more than Warnie's wife
Lord of the Flies, the end of human flesh
Surely last meaning is for you to do your best, but how?
No heart, have diminishing pulse
Disappear without a trace like Pre-Mendes the Holt, right?
Yeah, we swear by religion, it breeds hate
Getting nowhere fast like cars at a speedway
Yeah, and what can we do to find an answer?
We're dancing with the devil for the anecdote to cancer
Phantom of the Opera disappear into the darkness
The only thing you need to know, home is where the heart is
[Turntablism]
"Nowadays the all got game, all want fame
They all complain" "On the real"
"Nowadays the all got game, all want fame
They all complain" "I represent"
"Nowadays the all got game, all want fame
They all complain" "On the real"
"Nowadays they all want fame" "uh-huh"
"I represent the just blast, I represent the planet"
