lyrics

VERSE 1

Let me introduce you
To the most unusual
Fully focused on success
i hope the feelings mutual
They said it won't be televised
i bet somebody going live during the revolution
Checking in
In the midst of the chaos
You hear the shooting
Bombs going off sound like tel aviv
Smoke grenades fill the air you can barely breath
Gas mask, gas mask what they tellin me
Detroit riots i can see the fires from 11th street
Sniper fire i can hear it whistle thru
The air
The news said
little TANYA BLANDING shot dead
She was Only 4 years old
Swear it hurt my soul damn
Just watched watts burn now here we go again
Time traveling
Back to the future i can see the same pattern
Damn near 2020 and the coppers still harassing us
Perfect vision yeah i can see it clear
I find it weird
But we always found a way to persevere
Make something out of nothing just to watch it disappear
Every generation starts over again
that's the fear
Uhh
Overdrive So i'm switching up the gears
Take a ride with me
Tryna change the mindset of my peers
It ain't been easy tho
tryna just remind them who they is
Replacing all them stories we were lied to as some kids
All those allegory found out we were talking to ourselves
Since we made in his image
I answered my own prayers
Yeah


HOOK 2X
Time stands still for no man
The world still spinning best get with the program
Im lighty ears ahead
I deliver these space jams
This a blast from the past
Come and visit these waste lands

VERSE 2

Time shift
Let ya minds drift
Teleporting through these lines i designed this
The year is 1985
Realize this
They dropped a bomb on the hood
Vietnam shit
Damn
Who could imagine we thought niggas was free
And they got the nerve to wonder why its fuck the police
Women and children were stuck inside that look like me
As the buildings steady burned
Pistols firing repeat
At least 61 families left dealing with the grief
They homes gone
The city turned it to a war zone
The move house
cops shot them as they exit out the door
Firefighters let it blaze till it got out of control
Killed everyone inside even the five year old
bang
Blacked out
Reawakened
Somehow i got stuck in suspended animation
Didn't make it back to present day Check the situation
Now it's 1992
Gimme the loot
You see em rioting
The cops beat a nigga ass i guess it aint surprising
But the shit was caught on tape they tried to cave his eyes in
Then granted freedom to them pigs once the trial end
Young TASHA HARLINS died too
shot by that store clerk over orange juice
Then 5 years probation all they gave soon ja du
I'm guessing now 99 cents is worth a life
Aint have a clue
Who would of knew
