Lyrics:
Black sun came and changed our name
Made our lives this simple stain
All we do is smite
for what we think is right
Sound of mind bereft of sight
Denial
I struggled as a youth; almost fell behind
A statistic in the system was my frame of mind
Will I lead a simple life or live a life of crime
My
always at as much risk
I bet by that time they'll be singin' a different tune
With no rhyme I assume tisk tisk tisk
Earth Day, Earth Day
Every day
always at as much risk
I bet by that time they'll be singin' a different tune
With no rhyme I assume tisk tisk tisk
Earth Day, Earth Day
Every day
a couple shots
Yeah yeah
Ok if not, we can go find us a ducked off lil spot
Outta sight outta mind don't make no difference to me cause shid
I ain't seen
Inspired by true crimes
It's not a game, it's nothing to play with
Turn it off then come back the next day
It's here to stay struggle that is
I'm so
And you'll never live without it
They see a monster when I only see a boy
A simple child with his simple mind made toys
And they take him as the devil
As I
If you live by the gun, die by the gun, yeah (yeah)
If you live by the gun, die by the gun, yeah (Bugzy Malone)
If you live by the gun, die by
of jail like Mandela
First thought in my mind was "Get your raps better"
So I made it happen... but it wasn't easy
I feel the pain 'cause the streets need
away (Take it all away)
There's no solution for every troubled day
Start your revolution in a very simple way
Just try, just try, just try
And live it up
I woke up this morning like""I gotta get going!""
Tomorrow's not promised so I live in the moment
It's a good day to have a good day
It's a good day
is to see
I'd trade all those memories for one more day
How it used to be
I like the simple life
I wanna get up Sunday mornin'
Go fishin' with
the racial times
And if you don't want to hear it then pay it no mind
What I'm about to say may get you all upset
So I apologize and the wise don't sweat
Black sun came and changed our name
Made our lives this simple stain
All we do is smite
For what we think is right
Sound of mind bereft of sight
Denial
could tell
The city was live - respected on the map
Until one day when you posse attacked
Violence started, there was corruption
The end result - b-boy
Knowing you stand by me through good and bad
Makes all the difference in my life
And day by day sweetheart I find
These are the ties that bind
When the Capitol Hill's Insane In The Membrane
Look up in the sky it's a bird it's a plane
Collective on the scene bringing change to the game
Simple
When the Capitol Hill's Insane In The Membrane
Look up in the sky it's a bird it's a plane
Collective on the scene bringing change to the game
Simple
through pollination fertilizing into open minds
Minds now transformed by the variations of different vibrations
Stories told through rhythm and rhymes
Who
with a simple life
No American idol but I get by
Wish I could tour a fifth wheel bus back to the real world
Time to wake up and smell the anti freeze
my mind
The simple times are over
now that I am older
Thinking of the days when we could go and play outside
I'm passing by the order
I never meant
while I'm gettin' high
I'm watchin' as the world goes by
'Cause they don't give a fuck about us
If I choose to ride, thuggin' 'til the day I die
They
Knowing you stand by me through good and bad
Makes all the difference in my life
And day by day, sweetheart, I find
These are the ties that bind
kill you to live
Just cause we say we alive
Doesn’t mean we always living, We could be dead inside
Through the dark or the light I need you here by my
