[Intro]
Uh uh, uh uh
Uh uh, uh uh
[Verse 1]
Cognitive dissonance is a cacophony
Was it hubris that doomed Sisyphus and Icarus?
Do you see your own wickedness? (Do you see it?)
Not to say that you're evil, we're all people
Labels enable subconscious responses
Leave preconceived notions at the door
We ain't judgin' people no more
Ambulate 5280 feet in my sneakers
Before you speak on what I spit through your speakers (through your speakers)
It's all different eyeballs on similar situations
Perspectives tend to stay static until you make 'em
Rearrange, 'cause love is almost evil
But we still live for it, and when it ends we seek its sequel
The second never as impressive but then again
That might be limitation of our perspective
Now is it worse or is it not the same?
A new spring means a lil' rain
April showers bring flowers, if I may say so
Change ain't always pennies and dimes, sometimes it's pesos
Don't look for what you had before
The past will surely leave you sour
The fruit of your future dangles, approach it from different angles
It's easy to be peachy when you not in the pits
See the picture 'fore the click
Flashes fast like a sprint and your hopes can get dashed
[Chorus]
Let's get some heads boppin' for this head wrappin' rapper
Not a Sikh, I seek to destroy every beat that I meet
Issa feat to go the whole nine yards with me
I like to view things in terms of metaphors and similes
Microcosms express abstract ideas the best
More palatable, easier to digest
I'm on a quest
Making dreams manifest
No sleep and no rest
Until you feel it in your chest
[Verse 2]
Awareness of shared similarities
In all things bring down walls, all fall
Seems like you've been missing the point of things on purpose
Bein' wrong make you nervous, you only smart on the surface
I don't concern myself with methods that's less than earnest
A firm proponent of the tortoise tempo when I'm in my zen mode
Swordplay with no S's, verbal kendo
Drop a rock on top of your noggin, get them thoughts joggin'
That's my prerogative
And self-deprecation don't look too good on you (It's true)
Very few are in tune with themselves and do it well
All the coins in wishing wells might as well go to niggas with no insurance
I ran cross-country and got endurance
I ran cross-country, I'm adventurous
I ran cross-country, my problems still follow me
So I guess that wasn't the answer
Could I be a belly dancer?
Maybe a wedding planner
Dial forty-two and get no answer
[Chorus]
Let's get some heads boppin' for this head wrappin' rapper
Not a Sikh, I seek to destroy every beat that I meet
Issa feat to go the whole nine yards with me
I like to view things in terms of metaphors and similes
Microcosms express abstract ideas the best
More palatable, easier to digest
I'm on a quest
Making dreams manifest
No sleep and no rest
Until you feel it in your chest
[Bridge]
Everyone gotta feel somethin'
Every, everyone gotta feel somethin'
Ev-everyone gotta feel somethin'
Every, everyone gotta feel somethin'
Every, everyone gotta feel somethin'
Every, everyone gotta feel somethin'
Every, everyone
Every, everyone
Every, everyone gotta feel
[Chorus]
Let's get some heads boppin' for this head wrappin' rapper
Not a Sikh, I seek to destroy every beat that I meet
Issa feat to go the whole nine yards with me
I like to view things in terms of metaphors and similes
Microcosms express abstract ideas the best
More palatable, easier to digest
I'm on a quest
Making dreams manifest
No sleep and no rest
Until you feel it in your
