See we all make different observations
Depending on what's your location This is just my interpretation I saw friends come and go, I saw some of them stay Saw a lot of different faces and places along the way I saw days and night, I saw rights violated Saw the innocent convicted, the guilty emancipated Saw lies created, I saw lives destroyed Saw some things that I enjoyed, and things I learned to avoid Annoyed by the shit I saw that I couldn't control For money and fame, I saw people sell souls In hellholes I saw people living in, I saw mansions Saw freedom keep drinking, I saw corporate expansion Saw things that I couldn't believe or understand Saw politicians deceive to take the cash from my hand Supply and demand I saw in every place that I looked On walls I saw truth, I saw lies in books I saw what it took to get to where I needed to be And everything I ever did I saw reflections of me (Scratched Chorus) (x2) From the soul y'all Represent to the fullest And if I feel it, I'ma have to state in in a rhyme That's the only time I really find peace Learning...keep it moving I see possibilities in all of this hostility Against the odds and despite of the probablity I rock facilities when my soliloquies lighten Cats is overrated, I'm motivated to keep writing I see people fighting, victory and defeat I see some of them turned there backs and some that never retreat I see streets and boulevards and concrete, streets of gold I see streets of dirt, I even see the crossroads Lost souls I see sleeping on the same streets I mentioned I see a lot of people that's wilding out to get attention I see inventions, I see them changing how we live I see the consequences, positives, negatives It's all relative, I see it in the way things work I see hope in peoples' eyes, in their faces I see hurt My excerpts is heavy on your mind, so be it Not an expert, I simply call it how I see it (Scratched Chorus) (x2) I want to see change, the government rearranged A new day, want to see these people looking at life in a different way Regardless of where you stay, I want to see unity I want to see each and every child see the same opportunity Like, I want to see them have the same chance I want to see the wealthy sacrifice so that the poor can advance Want to see the world, I want to see my girl succeed Want to see my own seeds, eventually centuries from now I want to see how far we've come, everything that's been done All the battle's been won, without guns Want to see the outcome of conflicts and confrontations Then what's next? The side-effects and complications And conversations between new leaders that take place Want to see the obstacles and all the challenges faced Want to see the true stake in this claim I want to see if y'all still remember the name (Scratches Chorus) (x2) |

(Scratched Chorus)
Continue to carry on For my people... Brainstorm, take the form of a verse Already wrote the last line before I thought of the first It's like reverse psychology, I, alter egos Double the radius, originate my own alias Chose the moniker, make it bang out the monitor Correct, my crew shine bright like Andromeda Right like kilometers, cousin I go the distance Flow through the circuit, electric, with no resistance Assistance from the Spider, hold your lighter on thirds I paint pictures with words like graff writers Pull another on lighters, so when I finally see the sun I'm another step closer to having this battle won And just when you think that I'm done, I shift shapes And corrective takes, I'm guaranteed on your mixtapes A rebel with mics, and when I get my levels right I'll burn these MCs down like Troy in the Devil's night (Scratched Chorus) (x4) |

Definitely a miracle...honey you and me...
M-M-M-Make a miracle! From the midwest to the west coast and dream The outcast that came out so fresh and so clean And I must confess I don't know everything But I know what I know, you know what I mean It's like the stars aligned, every thousand bars, a rhyme But the right words is hard to find So I finish lines 'till the finish line's in sight Just imagine if I actually had the time to write Maybe then I'd finally get to where I figured I'd be Not religious, but I sense something bigger than me Only problem is it's hard to understand it like broken English So I paint my own canvas with this spoken genius Something told me my destiny manifests The best of me stands the test of time So I took a leap of faith, something like a steeple chasing Climbed back in the saddle, trying to keep the pace They say it's... (Chorus) Definitely a miracle... They say an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth If it changed then it's Definitely a miracle... I say it is what it is If nothing, it go, go, go Definitely a miracle... What you see if what you get, I am what I am And I feel like it's Definitely a miracle... What's it gonna take? You and me... I know it sounds crazy Crazy to think it could change, but just maybe Maybe you'll blink and the strange, right before your own eyes Like water to wine, the ignorant grown wise, the rise and fall If I could break bread with five thousand heads Take every man's shoes, walk a mile and tread It's like sight for the blind, a voice for the dumb A symphony for the deaf, embrace for the numb Feel it, what if rappers stopped acting hard When in fact they're scarred, would it really take an act of God Is he even listening? What if y'all stopped believing? Christian, Muslim, Jew What if people start casting votes? Stop casting stones Dead beef, get to acting grown And their kids stopped killing for a fistful of Lincolns? Probably just wishful thinking But I feel like it's... (Chorus) I don't know where to start, I guess it's like my closing remarks Sort of like the way a firefly glows in the dark Sort of like Elizabeth Jennings before Rosa Parks Like, humble beginnings before the flow sparks Now the fires lit, it's so hard to explain why I spit It's like who gon' fix things if I quit? Tell me that, who gon' cross the line Provoke thoughts in the minds I touched And I ain't much for freestyle, I'd much rather freehand Or free minds, see the free world in my free time Man, ain't nothing free, getting at heads like parting the Red Sea If we're ever debt free then it's... (Chorus) M-M-M-Make a miracle (x4) |

See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back
Wages fell flat, now if you felt that Say when (when, when, when) Say when (when, when, when) See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back Wages fell flat, now if you felt that Say when (when, when, when) Say when (when, when, when) Ayo, the sun still shinin’, earth still spinnin’ Poor still grindin’, rich still winnin’ Imagine that, another day, another merger One step further towards takin’ this rat race But, while we make false starts and don’t finish it, They built more Walmarts and small business get swept aside Like dirt off the floor, headquarters offshore Young kids off to war, that’s if you’re poor Big biz like Juice Crew, honest work doesn’t pay like it used to Man, so we do what we can, shop for bargains They outsource and expand profit margins And mark down what they already marked up And leave town when the heat gets sparked up So good jobs make the exodus to poor countries where they make even less than us Nigga, if you was the richest cat, bona fide aristocrat, kicked it with diplomats, You smile and tip your hat, lyin’ an’ tit for tat, if you could buy this and that, You wouldn’t switch it back, now would you? See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back Wages fell flat, now if you felt that Say when (when, when, when) Say when (when, when, when) See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back Wages fell flat, now if you felt that Say when (when, when, when) Say when (when, when, when) Ayo, the rope still swingin’, the door still shuttin’, The bell still ringin’, kids still cuttin’, go figure. Everyday the gap grows bigger and you wonder why they pullin’ those triggers man. What you expect? It must be a hell of a lot, Some kids surrounded by drugs, whether they sell ‘em or not But they ain’t got brand-new laptop computers and they ain’t got the money for a tutor So they learn geometry by studying angles on every corner, An’ chemistry class is makin’ that pot warmer, So if pop warner doesn’t lead to a scholly, They prolly ain’t goin’ to college (no) And now the system really only about preppin’ for tests And they invest more in the schools reppin’ the best Of course poor schools get less with time And they callin’ that No Child Left Behind But see, schools are still really segregated And poor people still miseducated So if one half of black kids live below the poverty line, Fact is they probably lyin’. But they ain’t losin’ no sleep, no toss and turnin’ And keep raisin’ that cost of learnin’ I guess it’s still crosses burnin’, Watch how they fan them flames, understand them thangs It’s why: See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back Wages fell flat, now if you felt that Say when (when, when, when) Say when (when, when, when) See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back Wages fell flat, now if you felt that Say when (when, when, when) Say when (when, when, when) Ayo, the bombs still droppin’, Snoop still crippin’ Guns still poppin’, scales still tippin’ You don’t say? See these kids don’t play, but they all justified in they own way Cause if jobs don’t pay and schools don’t teach Ain’t a whole lot within reach You either catch a case, catch wreck, catch alley-oops Catch a ride to the spot where they rally troops Or you go an’ get your own recruits, if you catch my drift Givin’ them fiends that extra lift So hustlers cook rocks, accountants cook books, I figure the bigger the crime, the bigger the crook. Look, this song ain’t about crack per se, It used to be about moonshine back in the day Now kids smoke M E T H O D, man So really it’s an OG plan See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back Wages fell flat, now if you felt that Say when (when, when, when) Say when (when, when, when) See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back Wages fell flat, now if you felt that Say when (when, when, when) Say when (when, when, when) |
