Have you ever been with a human close enough To understand every bit of their craziness It's enough to make the sane delirious And enough to make the insane dangerous But fabulous is the touch of this kind From the rough, raw and rugged to the well refined The simple and plain-Jane to the mastermind Any form of human contact is sublime Although from time to time I need a map To show me the ways of which and why they act Some days they even-keeled, other days they out of whack They go from here to there like this is that It's a matter of fact you can't predict their ways It's immpossible to know why a human behaves In the manner which they do, still you watch amazed But if you watch to close you might get dazed... *Chorus* *Verse by Son1 so I won't write his lyrics* Have you ever noticed when boy meets girl And slowly it turns upside down his world Everywhere he turns he now sees the pearl The apple of his eye making his toes curl Stomach in his throat he makes his approach Might not get the vote but still swims the mote From the depths he evokes light-hearted anicdotes His game he promotes to the honey he scoped Have you ever noticed how girl meets boy And she strings him along like a cat and mouse toy Not so much rough, but a whole lot of coy And a whole lot of flava that you can't avoid Shorty's in the mix so now eyes are fixed On a brotha's whos lips holding on a toothpick Bust out the lipstick and push back with the hips Showing him a little wrist as she blows him a kiss... *Chorus*

From the iron that as been forged in the depths of hell Comes forward the locked doors of a small 6 by 8 cell The captive inside a meer child who used to dwell In the land of the wild but is now up for sale Auctioned off to the lowest bidder and that's the police The ones that our taxes pay to serve and protect peace But they don't respect me cause their political cheifs Mandate it constutionally to like me the least So in twos by tows their leading us off to the graves Privatizing slave labor to keep their roads paved Make you work their workshop and call it teaching a trade And they say it's all part of the process for you to get saved But you getting shaved like one of the sheep of the flock It doesn't matter if todays your day of slaughter or not Counting days is like counting sheep it's a game of tic toc Eventually in the end you know you're gonna get got Hook Lights out lock them down go and get your mind straight To all my people locked up this is a prison break Bus comes at seven sharp taking my shorty to school Shipped in with countless others force fed into fools Kindergartener telling me about the numerous rules That exist to impeed her ability to make moves So steadily tellin her little mama stay true There's nothing in God's earth that you can not do Life is rugged, it very seldom runs smooth But the course it takes will be the path that you choose Don't let it choose you or all will be lost Running down the streets with hand grenades screaming mositof Already cursed by wittnessing millions of bodies tossed They'll shoot under the table while waiving a cross So when you think of all the millions of the young men and women Incarcerated for a lifetime in federal prison Remember their sentence is just another man's pension A critical condition I thought worthy of mention Hook Lights out lock them down go and get your mind straight To all my people locked up this is a prison break

The letter reads: Dear Mr. President Your moral ambiguity has now become irrelevant. Your role as a leader to the people is benevolant. We'd all of been better off if your pops was celebate, So better get your people moving 'cause the fight is comin' to ya. If you try to stop us garuanteed we gonna role right through ya. Nobody gettin' fooled 'bout when and where you spill your sewage, And the lies that you been tellin' us ain't gettin' any truer. *bridge* The system exists as a killing machine Operates to suffocate the life from all human beings There's poison in the seeds that feed american dreams In the chapters to come after you will know what it means So for now lets concentrate on the facts Too many lies and alibies for you to ever take back Invading country, after country, Greneda, Cuba, Iraq And you still trying to tell us you didn't invent crack *Hook: Filling 'em full of low blows, but yo' them days is over Terrible Lie We already know, don't matter who told It's the truth soldiers seein' through your Terrible Lie* *Verse by Travis Williams so I won't write his lyrics* It don't matter if you're black, white or mexican Tallassee, North Ave, Rock Springs or Lexington If you get locked up better call next of kin Back out on the streets now it's back to playing chess again Messaging to headquarters, ready for my next orders Infiltrate the secret society with my dat recorder To document the torture, the victims of the slaughter And bring justice to the clutches of our sons and daughters It's not a theory they destroyed our democracy America is centuries deep in it's own hypocracy Possibly the reason why we get along so awefully Get off of me, I know this life has got more to offer me Republican or democrat - no there ain't no turning back Both sides of the track are whack, as if you need more proof of that Take a look at where you at - ATH is on the map And if you're feeling like I'm feeling then you know it's time to act *Hook*

(I want to kill this waitress) I want to kill, kill... This girl that I knew back in the day around the way at park place Off of the Parkway, where my man Clarke stay I met her at first on a Monday sippin' on some coffee Then at a party, a nice little swaray She was aight by the like of mine, even though that type ain't one of my kind I'm typically one to keep it in line, cause I'm never wrong place, wrong time Like...Where are you going that you think I can't find you? Must I remind you that I'm off chain when I rip, No gain if you trip Just pain if you slip up - wrist are slit, neck is gripped up I don't want to hear sorry for the mix up, but what? Ain't nothing you can say gonna make me give a f*ck Can't undo what's already done cause the web's already been spun, hon. Head snaps back due to the fact it's you that'll lack the moves to react Them fools to the back, I'm smooth as the Yack when I Smack the b*tch with a slap and I think that (That's an act of kindness...) (But I believe in Peace, But I believe in Peace bitch...) Off to another time and place, escaping the grind of the human race A whole lot of wine, and ain't no chase May have lost my mind but that's not what it takes Back to the club no curfew, Smell like a bottle of perfume Mixed with a jar full of purp dude Chillin at the bar with this chic in the worst mood Then the worst dude with the worst moves try to come through Screaming out half drunk holla back boo, ooo, spillin' his brew You fool, what you gonna do? Man, I ought to take you then make you, Build you up just break you Dead you then wake you, levitate your mind state to a level that's better then great Tru see true, dope is dope and real recognize real I notice all that you feel - the funk doc is here, I Already know what's on your mind, you don't want to go and cross that line Step to the left and you'll be fine, otherwise gonna be a violent crime Somebody better call CSI cause the trick has to trip and I don't know why... (But I believe in Peace Bitch, I believe in Peace...) This bitch for talking shit, flapping lips, make me want to lose my grip Don't slip cause it's a trick and the manager gonna trip Ain't this life a bitch always batting hit or miss Time to throw a fast pitch shell game with a twist Don't look under 1, 2 or 3, nothing in life guaranteed Take my advice, I'll give it free, You don't want to fuck with me Sound off 1-2. sound off 3-4, sound off 1 to the 2 to the three, yo Come on ladies step in line, you don't want to get left behind This is a sign of the times if you blink twice it will pass you by No divide shall collide in the form of landslide Women from the beehive now's the time to show your pride Stand up and you can stand tall, Stand tough and you can play ball Speak up and you can teach all - this is what you have all been waiting for Sound off 1-2, sound off 3-4, sound off 1 to the 2 to the 3 yo... outro

I remember when we first met, never forget The way you made me check my intellect, I showed you respect And every single move I made you'd see me counting the steps It would take to bring me back to you, the way we'd connect Was beyond belief - see the sun, stars and the moon Could not compete with the ways that you could make me move Hard to smooth, rough to groove, ready to cruise It's just too much to choose and I ain't trying to lose But too few are ever chosen, so many less survive Most relationships eventually bring their own demise So don't act surprised when the summation of your lies Results in my well of salvation going dry Ready to die, ready to quit Got my head spinnin with weeks of this bullshit I'm ready to flip Packing my bags, leave a note, now I'm ready to dip Headed to the coast, got a room reserved at the strip, cause my... *Johnny, Angry Johnny, this is Jezebel in Hell* Day turns to night and then night back to day 24 hours gone and still nothing to say Nothing to play with these words of pain and agony Still love you but know we're living proof of a tragedy We could talk for hours a long time ago happily Now we try to talk and you just end up mad at me And now my blood is brewing like fire under my skin I gotta leave before I lose man I'm doing it again Putting off returning home knowing as soon as I get in I'll be confronted with mad questions about "Where you bee?" "Did you call all of your freinds, tell them how bad that it's been?" We'll be back in the place where we started in the begin So tell me now or never are you out or are you in Is this love the real thing or are we living in sin Don't try to pretend, I think we both know how this will end We could act like it's forever, but these days it's a trend *Johnny, Angry Johnny, this is Jezebel in Hell* Another year past and we're still at each others throat If I had any to lose, I'd say I've lost all hope I'm lighting a smoke Pick up the phone to say hello It's my friend on the other end saying she scoped You removing the coat of a female companion The room starting to spin feeling totally abandoned I thought that you were out with your boys but you were scamming I waited up all night while you were shooting off your cannon Now you feed me lies and alibies I can't stand In the end I will contend to be the last standing Never again will you get close enough to take me for granted That'll be the last time damn it, you've done your damage But I still remain to be blessed I know it's hard to see but there's still a little of me left And with that, I've got to put this situation to rest I put two in your chest - true love departed by death, to my... *Johnny, Angry Johnny, this is Jezebel in Hell...*

One to the two three strikes you're out Flip names, nah better just close your mouth You need to be reminded that you're in the South Where it's all about the fam without a doubt Switch hands with the money cause we keeping it clean They watching everybody with a gangster lean Bandana, long chain, with them bagy jeans Try to keep us out of clubs downtown, na mean Cause it's all about the cream and the money they make Whatever's on your plate their happy to take Act fake to placate their obsession with hate But if it's bout to break keep your eye on them jakes Cause they quick to turn snake be nobody's fool It's a beautiful world but the people are cruel Stand tall, don't back down do what you gotta do Cause in the end it's really all about you

Don't look now but here she comes Got a feeling this time that she's the one Slipped up to the bar now the web is spun Butterflies in my stomach so I have a shot of rum Hey how you doing miss want to take a chance We could fall in love or have a wild romance Be together forever or have a one night stand Either way I'm pretty sure it's time to dance Making our way to the center of the spot Where the crowd is thick and the jams are hot Got to show and move and then make her body rock And uhh by the way I think i like you a lot Wh-What's your name again let me get a pen Smoke a lot of pot so not so hot a remembering --Yea there you go Jot them down, all ten!

you'll get the message as soon as you overstand that sex is not the current subject matter at hand so let your mind expand to see the master plan that exists to infiltrate every child and man see, we all plugged in it's difficult to escape so try to relax, breathe deep and concentrate see the math is quite simple, easy for one to equate so peep the knowledge, it's time to set the record straight the more we hate, dictate and aggravate have intent to falsify, deceive or fabricate alienate, mistreat or intimidate crucify without proof, steady be locking them gates and we are what we make substituting truth for the fake don't realize we have the power in our minds to create a positive state compelling us all to be great, it's.. not everyone will understand this concept of reality some get distracted by ways of fornication and falicy it's a matter of practicality some would rather see than fantasies instead of actuality but as many of you know, the path of least resistance will seldom lead you down the road of optimal existence it's a matter of choice, your will and your persistence apathy spreads faster than any other known sickness And it's a sign of the times how cats talking bout droppin dimes And ain't nothing up in their rhymes but cadilacs and snortin lines And even though the fruit is forbidden I pray to hip hop on the daily to forgive them They know not of the evil in the messages they sending And can't account for all the young minds they apprehending The message hear descending straight from the source Translating dialect from the center of the universe

No reason to question - ain't no second guessin' Sit in your seat and pay attention to the lesson Teacher's preachin' a lot of rhyme without reason Never the notice the ONE student that's in need of reachin' No speaking out of turn, wait in line to get burned Gotta learn how to follow before working for the firm Keep it moving along - don't get distracted Minimize your personal beliefs and reactions Daily reminders that happiness is satisfaction And if that don't work, it just takes a little practice It's o.k. to dream but don't get caught up in theatrics A dream is just a dream and it ain't never gonna happen *Chorus* And I've been feeling this feeling ever since I was young Trying to fit into a box feeling like the only one Sticking out on all sides feel myself come undone No matter matter where I try to hide there's no where for me to run So, systematically I begin to shut down Dettach from reality to blend into the crowd No more dreaming about finding a way out Instead I fill my head with anxiety and doubt To tune it out I have various means of escape I could drink away the blues feel myself fade away Smoke trees everyday until the sky turns grey Get a script for some pills created to placate The results are the same no matter what the method No more feeling lost alone or neglected No more fighting what so many have accepted Feeling nothing is better than constant rejection *Chorus* Never say never, the world is not enough Now I'm caught up in the race for the material stuff I'm calling your bluff, if you're left with nothing then tough No time or patience for being fair or being just In God we trust, yes, making money is a must Trade your spirit for consumption and trade love for lust You can look but don't touch, cop feels but don't bust With every waking moment we're just looking for a rush And it ain't just us who be looking for a lift Cats be huffin on dust or they be puffin on a spliff Kids are acting up at school, others decide to skip They be fighting after class while one's stealing your whip So get your grip, this is just the daily operations It's the sort of mentality that's taking over our nation Obsessed with trivial matters of temptation Instead of concentrating on our final destinations *Chorus*

Push the needle in deep until it hits the vein Only moments left before it numbs the pain In this tiny peice of heaven I'll escape the day I can feel myself beginning to fade away And it's hard to say how we ended up here So far away from those we hold dear A few memories left of what was once near Now a childhood lost replaced by fear I never would've thought I'd see the day come When my life would depend on the morning sun With every waking moment I become undone As search for the light of the chosen one Begotten son forced to watch the world turn Silent on the sidelines watching it burn After all these years you'd have thought we'd learn But we may have gone past the point of no return On a late sunday I walk alone Reminded of times when I had a home To call my own oh how far we've grown Just a shadow left made of skin and bones I can hear the echoes inside of my chest Where my heart once beat pure happiness In all my lifetime I never would have guessed That I...(would depend on the morning sun)
