Proof - Shady lyrics
[Proof - Shady lyrics]
If the fool and the wise man argue
Who can tell them apart?
Apparently the on-looker wasn’t smart
He called a fool a fool by appearance
And a fashionable man wise
By image, now think, don’t that limit?
Don’t think of the thought as
Thoughtless regardless the clothes
The fool was the wiser
For making the wise man bark
Eyes get parked on the world
As the vibes get dark
As the lover’s soul is taken
From a crying heart
Forgetting love is like remembering
Someone you never knew
Or believing that you can take your revenue
To heaven, who sees the Earth is the garden
It’s amazing how the solution
Can worsen the problem
Like divorce is the future to some marriages
Witness a terrorist bomb Iraqis
Till our heritage
Mental awareness is needed, don’t read it
Just listen and heed it so please
Believe it my niggas
Now ain’t nothing more shady
Than the music biz
We got gangsta images confusing kids
Everytime I take the game I
See the rules get flipped
So, take my advice’ cause I ain’t using it
Conference my thoughts, nonsense is lost
Channeled into energy
To keep my conscious a force
The hood is as good as it's last victim
You might as well join the
Klan and laugh with them
The ass-kissing of a land that raped you
A land that makes you
Study the virtue of words that ain’t true
Thank you Malcolm, thank you Jesus
To build your mental they both
Gave us sacred pieces
Hatred ceases one moment, when at gun-point
Pointed the gun, take lives
Now he doing one hundred
Plus he left us ten kids
That never knew daddy
Ever so badly, they’ll never grow happy, shit
I am the truth, this can’t be a single
Cause you can’t dance and mingle
I’ll make you do the lady tingle
I am before and after, beginning and end
Not trying to sound deep
This is the venom within
Who can tell them apart?
Apparently the on-looker wasn’t smart
He called a fool a fool by appearance
And a fashionable man wise
By image, now think, don’t that limit?
Don’t think of the thought as
Thoughtless regardless the clothes
The fool was the wiser
For making the wise man bark
Eyes get parked on the world
As the vibes get dark
As the lover’s soul is taken
From a crying heart
Forgetting love is like remembering
Someone you never knew
Or believing that you can take your revenue
To heaven, who sees the Earth is the garden
It’s amazing how the solution
Can worsen the problem
Like divorce is the future to some marriages
Witness a terrorist bomb Iraqis
Till our heritage
Mental awareness is needed, don’t read it
