Uh, I try to show love yet hate It's what's given in return, snakes Don't stand for nothin' they ain't Built the same, I try to relate Then I remember the accursed serpent who Slithers has wicked ways in every page of scripture When mentioned, pay attention to whispers and loud talkers Are in no position to listen, I try to warn 'em My darkest thoughts conform to my enlightened conscience Align my chakra with the Higher Power I acknowledge And pray they never find the Assata The lies ain't addin' up so they divide and conquer To stop as I aspire to design intricate lines listeners vibe to Follow your dream, acknowledge self-esteem, it's inside you Gotta want it more than anyone that would deny you I give it how I live it on everything I try I give it how I live it on everything I try I give it how I live it on everything I try I try to see the good in people If I see nothin', my view's obstructed or you're evil I'm more cerebral, less impulsive, thoughts are deeper The abyss of contemplation, lost thinkers Make wiser decisions, influence schemers Are so intrigued by greed, they ignored freedom Justice is blind, the judge oversees you Through presumptuous eyes before he hangs you I relinquish impatient ways for calm reason Meanin' I stay cool even on warm beaches Good vibes only even if love changes Keep your dignity, bad energy supports anger Causes loss, anguish, and court cases Short tempers are often before long faces Learn rules to the game before playin' Know your hitters and pitchers, cover all bases
