Deal With It

[Intro]

Listen, it's like this

[Verse 1]

Rocking rhymes I decolonize
Light binds the colorblind when divided by color lines
My rap skill is opposite Advil ©
Awaken the feeling that brings healing
To back pain that you can't kill
I lucubrate and lubricate the brain when the rap's ill
Calling out every rapper by name who stands still
All these dope rappers coming out of the woodwork
Even though record execs once doubted it would work
World Wide connects we created a network
With more in perspective than the count of my net worth
Hanging out with an enlightened crowd
But not elitist. Welcome to the underground:
We're all leaders. One of the realest family around
Me and Evita, Cas.B, OscioPak: It started in Geneva
Better believe we go pound for pound in tetrameters
Our sound astounds crowds whenever they hear us
Everybody argue top 5 alive
But what's important's not the wrapper, it's the bar inside
The bars rhymed are the outer layer
But where the bar's raised to, that's what makes the rap greater
And f*** rap, I'm rocking for Hip Hop
A culture that you're all a part of
Whether you tag or you disk-jock
Whether you pop-lock or you just rap
Or really just sit back, thinking of a plan to get rich fast
OK with me as long as you give back, build fam
'Cause mental slavery's off the list man, for real, damn
So raise your cup if you feel it
We're raising up the glass ceiling
Trail blaze a snail pace at jet pack speeding

[Chorus]

So how you deal with it?
Do you run up in the streets
Do you summon up the beast
Do you cover up in sheets
Nah how you deal with it?
Do you give up say you beat
Or do you rap it on the beat
Do you rummage up a feast
Mmmm, now tell me how you deal with it!
I say I’m all right
Now how you deal with it?
I say we all gon fight
Now how you deal with it?
I say we burn this bright
In the flames of the state, just follow the light

[Verse 2]

How I deal with with it’s not to depend on a meal ticket
Learn to steal if it’s necessary and to leave with it
Self-heal with knowledge of self
Not to kneel to the false image of the profits they sell you
When you listen to your heart the only prophet's yourself
You’ve got more to benefit from benefitting yourself
And you’re irrelevant whenever set to fit on a shelf
The elephant’s skeleton rests in the cupboard
Of any gullible shell shocked company
You fell fault to currency, well stocked but sordidly
Hell’s hottest economy, cell blocking ecology
Rotten from profits ill begotten
It’s probably still not a philosophy
Not to have a method, epistemologic anarchy
But pissed on a pantheon
Of well-meaning misleading
Freedom of thought-blocking apologists
So pardon me for stealing the spotlight
To fight for those who bleeding a lot

[Chorus]

So how you deal with it?
Do you run up in the streets
Do you summon up the beast
Or do you cover up in sheets
Nah how you deal with it?
Do you give up say you beat
Or do you rap it on the beat
Do you rummage up a feast
Mmmm, now tell me how you deal with it!
I say I’m all right
Now how you deal with it?
I say we all gon fight
Now how you deal with it?
I say we burn this bright
In the flames of the state, just follow the light

[Verse 3]

Wearing a fez like Narcy
Always getting dead prez like McCartney
Ain't seeing red like McCarthy
And I end up in her bed like Darcy
(What up!)
Some age like wine while others are immature
Some stay in their prime while others are vinegar
Put your strengths on the shelf for your moment of need
Your weakness is the gem to be worn on your sleeve
So make a strong attempt to get up off of your knees
And be humble when death comes, welcome the breeze
They say its the tyranus versus the chivalrous
But the knights on shining armour are often the ones killing us
When did they put the fear in us?
They send our sons off in choppers, the victims are all civilians
And when they come back in coffins the victims are all civilians

[Chorus]

So how you deal with it?
Do you run up in the streets
Do you summon up the beast
Do you cover up in sheets
Nah how you deal with it?
Do you give up say you beat
Or do you rap it on the beat
Do you rummage up a feast
Nah tell me how you deal with it!
I say I’m all right
And how you deal with it?
I say we all gon fight
And how you deal with it?
I say we burn this bright
In the flames of the state, just follow the light
So how you deal with it?
Do you run up in the streets
Do you summon up the beast
Do you cover up in sheets
Nah how you deal with it?
Do you give up say you beat
Or do you rap it on the beat
Do you rummage up a feast
Nah tell me how you deal with it!
I say I’m all right
And how you deal with it?
I say we all gon fight
And how you deal with it?
I say we burn this bright
In the flames of the state, just follow the light
