Something Ain’t Right

Something ain't right
I grew up in a neighborhood
Where everybody's mother got a problem with that pipe
Something ain't right
I grew up in a neighborhood
Where everybody's father figure Ain't nowhere in sight
Something ain't right, Lord
How are you my Father when they tell me that your only son is white
I grew up in a paradigm where colored people kneeling on they knee
To get the worshipping a cracker named Christ
Something ain't right
How I'm supposed to learn to be a husband
When I've never seen my mother as a wife
Something ain't right
How I'm supposed to ever be a daddy
When I had to teach myself to ride a bike
Something ain't right, Lord
The only way I know to get this dough
Is with a rock or with a mic
Grammy had to empty out her pension just to make sure we had heat
And we had food and we had clothes and we had lights
Something ain't right
Every time I see a flashing redand blue light
I be fearing for my life
Something ain't right
God forbid there ever be a war
I hope my brothers and my sisters can unite
Something ain't right, Lord
I'm working to live
And I'm living to work til I die
The government manipulates your mind so they control and tell you every thing you like
And base your history on lies
Something ain't right
They telling all our women they ain't pretty
Unless they at a certain weight and certain height
Something ain't right
They telling all our women they ain't pretty if they dark
And you look better if you light
Something ain't right, Lord
They scandalizing sex
And make us hate the the way we look and feel inside
Every time I gaze into the mirror I'm just looking for my flaws instead loving what i see because it's mine

Something ain't right
Right, right, right right
How the hell a nigga make the same mistakes twice
Life is like dice, I'm rolling snake eyes
Something ain't right
Right, right, right, right
It seem like every time that God is offering an opportunity
I go to grab it then He take it back like sike

Something ain't right
I was looking at the sky today
And people take that shit for granted
There's seven billion humans on this planet
And only a handful will ever live to understand it
See when they ask me what my age is
I tell em infinite I'm ageless
Lives are just phases but spirit never changes
It rearranges and evolves
But it's really just the same shit, shift
Drum solo in my heart gets the body moving
Brain waves vibrating with the honor student
Kemetic metaphysics gets the conscience blooming
Like the flowers that the shaman using
Descrambling a broad Illusion
Warp speeding Sonic booming
And all I see is slaves to the dollar bill, raised where the drama kills
Rib cage caved these days we ain't got no meals
And y'all waiting on Obama still
I'm surprised they ain't get Obama killed
And y'all be selling your souls as if it's worth something
But if you're selling your souls then it ain't worth nothing
We all infinite like squirrels or silly sluts
But hoods are reservoir tips where the kids are stuck

The future Cam will thank the Cam I am today
Cause old Cam wasn't Cam until a man's I what I became

I know that love is real
I don't know what to feel
Cuz all I have is open wounds that just don't seem to heal
These drugs are calling
It's taking all of me
It dims the light and brings the darker side up out of me
I hear it calling me
