Educatin' my mind Keep my tongue on a leash Disciplinin' my passion to listen before I speak It's been hot for a minute and I been feelin' the heat Trying to speak with love but patience is growin' weak Evil is growin' strong And every word is a bomb And even when I be careful the haters be sayin' WRONG OK, I guess we fightin' I was tryin' to be civil but you comin' at me crooked I'm about to keep it rizzle Won't make it any better but it's gonna feel great When I flex my intellect and put your stupid on display Oh Laaawd I need to pray Venom in my poetry Death and life is in the tongue Oratin' a killin' spree I'm heavy with the speech Always been my greatest skill I'm heavy with the speech Always my Achilles heel I'm ready for the beef I'll roast all ya bull But the wise stay quiet in the presence of a fool Let 'em talk The foolish run they mouth all night all noon all day Let 'em talk Be wise and tune them out, just close your eyes and pray Let 'em talk Be slow to speak and when you do, don't be afraid Let 'em talk The simple truth will cut through hate like razor blade Like razor blade I don't believe my actions Speak louder than my words With hand-crafted diction entire sentence is a verb In other words, our words are actions too Will you speak the truth or react and spew Gotta choose when to stay quiet and swallow your pride When to yell like a fool that the roof is on fire Best believe there's a time when you gotta do both Don't argue with disbelievers who deny the smoke Betta ring the alarm for the ones who don't know I'ma scream out the truth till I got a sore throat Hold my tongue when we win Jesus don't let me gloat 'Cause my God get no pleasure in the death of a fool Let 'em talk The foolish run they mouth all night all noon all day Let 'em talk Be wise and tune them out just close your eyes and pray Let 'em talk Be slow to speak and when you do don't be afraid Let 'em talk The simple truth will cut through hate like razor blade Like razor blade
