Reks, Pharoahe Monch - The Complex lyrics
[Reks, Pharoahe Monch - The Complex lyrics]
Floating, floating, floating all night
Statik Selektah
Say left, huh, left-right, left-right
Wing hates exposure, but love
A defeatist to death, right?
Beat the defeatist morality 'til there's
No feet left, right?
Teach us the killer mentality to
Shove us some tech
We are just another formality
Of government debt
But Lord, what's worse is even after I served
After I followed the scriptures
And honored the word
After I fought for America
Got what I deserved, i
Came back to racism, absurd
You look down on me while I pick the garbage
You enjoy your melanin curb
I'm like, "what's your thoughts
Son, your bird's eye, bitch?
You probably thinkin' I'm itchin'
For my post traumatic, huh?
Is it because I'm twitchin' from the
Most dramatic shit I've ever seen?"
My commanding officer yelling at the pregnant
Woman to drink from the latrine
Little baby body layin' face
Down on the ravine
I thought I'd be an action figure
Kung-fu grip, and that ain't even the half
My nigga when I needed medication the
Doctor wouldn't respond
Even when I told him I was
The very first to respond he said
Step left-right, left-right
Step left-right, left-right
Step left-right, left-right
Right, left-right, left-right
Complexities of our complexion
Different shape and size, look in the eyes
See a reflection
Of what we feed mind, and body get chose
Your alkaline skin glows
Pharmaceutical companies pimp us like hoes
With quick fixes mixin' the elixirs
Too addictive
Momma's prescription is the side effect
Small printin'
It's all business, industrial
Revolution music
You listen to it to just numb the reality
Desentizized mentality
Tablet to tongue to have relief
The doctor's bedside manner make
Nana have belief soilin' the soil tap water
We need to boil no seeds
It's GMO if it grow, it needs to spoil
Man made manipulation unpure, it's unnatural
Doctors said it, we say it's factual
Watch the ph scale
Don't let them sell you on
Depression pills and chemo
Lessons from the keynote, speaker on systems
We know
Step left-right, left-right
Step left-right, left-right
Step left-right, left-right
Right, left-right, left-right
