Zion I, Macklemore, Locksmith - Polarity lyrics

Dark versus light, good versus evil
Man versus woman, planet Earth upheaval
Jew vs muslim, Norte Sur
Blood versus Crip everywhere more war
Primitive man versus civilized savage
One's a Pope and the other one lives lavish
Light skin versus dark skin, East versus West
Blessed with balance or you're
Cursed with stress
Much success or pray your life possessed but
Many are afraid to face life's true tests huh
Spirit over flesh, Hard to make it manifest
The government will press the
Best and brightest
G-O-D got a place inside of me
But, it's Church versus State
And they hate it when you're free
The opposition might rock your brain
The universal is a circle
And everything soon change

The world never changed for me
It's the same in the place to be
The world never changed for me
It's the same in the place to be

The world's made of opposites
Opposites are the world, are the world
Are the world

We can appear the opposite
Or wish that we were them
Either hate them or be the lies
That other people live
Contrast the human when you see
The soul behind their skin
Take away the pew and see they pray like them
Maybe the cross and the
Qu'ran isn't so different
Maybe these lines are make believe
And the opposite is pretend
Just a man made law with a flaw in that gem
I give you the truth and everyone else is sin
Get off it
Thinkin' that perspective is godsend
I'm from the city where they
Invented the mosh pit
And when I fell my people they pulled me up
And told me you got a job to
Do it's all part of the process
I needed to starve, before I could eat again
I needed addiction to learn what freedom is
Lost perspective so I had to fix a lens
To learn that a leader knows
Himself and the opposite

The world never changed for me
It's the same in the place to be
The world never changed for me
It's the same in the place to be

The world's made of opposites
Opposites are the world, are the world
Are the world

Uh, feels good to do a feature
With someone I respect that I
Honestly have a keeper
Sense of admiration I'm
Activating my artistry
To sacrifice style and show you
A different part of me
Pardon me when I part the sea with my verse
Niggas selling they soul to hear me converse
It's hard to bare
When people pay me to share
But, I always put musical
Marriage before commerce
Bomb first like Pac in his day
Like I'm rocking his Jays
Hawk in your face, Copy display
I'm lyrically polished freeing
Pockets of slaves
I can raise Christopher Wallace from
Up out of his grave
Uh, so what's the opposite of real?
If Oprah's a mammy than Tyra's a Jezebel
For? a Diva?
The people begging for balance but
They tippin' the scale oh well

The world never changed for me
It's the same the place to be
The world never changed for me
It's the same the place to be

The world's made of opposites
Opposites are the world, are the world
Are the world
