send* corrections to the typist [Hook]

Scratched-"Knowledge
be the key To
unlock your brain and set your mindstate free"- Inspectah Deck 'Show & Prove' [Intro]

What
All? eyes Pay. attention [Deacon].

My
familiarity makes you scared to see The
beauty in front of your eyes You're
thinkin' merrily Everything
isn't a predictable occurrence If
you've experienced everything except a purpose Then
you've missed everything that was meant to be caught Life
sessions aren't lessons that can be simply taught You
gotta feel the matter Build
the data You
gotta strengthen self or your shield will shatter In
the field we, choose to scatter like lice Instead
of coming together and keeping it tight It's
hard to be alone deep, in the night I
try to avoid the dark life and be seeking the light But
so many times I fall in between the lines Of
what is a devilish sign and what is divine If
you base your life on wasted nights with no faith in sight You
might as well free base on pipes I've
fallen down but I got up friend Fell
twice Three
times Got
up again and again And
again it's, nobodies but my own it didn't end You
only don't win when you give in The
days we live in Send
shit that'll break the strongest I
put on my body armor and remain the calmest Being
peaceful at heart Helps
me see through the dark walk
? it's hard for evil people to start Bullshit
Was
a literally cool kid Whose
only form of battlin' is through music If
you hold yourself tight you can't lose it Life
or death It's
up to you who you cruise with Exercise
knowledge to increase your wealth If
you know yourself you'll be shown your wealth (x3) [Hook]

Sometimes

I ask myself a question Is
my lack of inner reflection Some
type of indication of what state my life is in They?
keep piping in elevator music Sappy
and happy as hell with foo foo shit When
I reflect back and recollect that I
was born into the state of walking slumber Taught
numbers realize, I'm dirt poor It
hurts more now that I'm older Showered
in water much colder than this Holdin'
my lips and close thee abyss With
the speech and the phoniest kiss Rendered
lifeless Talk
about an identity crisis My
third eye remains sightless When
the night hits Can't
help but lie awake Contemplate
fights with vice grips Depressions
and lessons in starvations It's
hard to be patient Sittin'
perfectly still and listen to your own heart racin' Assume
the description of my life and it's reality Is
on the warm side of fatality It's
not fair the way you challenge me Or
the silent ways my talents be Hidden
inside these translations Emancipations
as I try to dab the slate clean Futile
attempts to make my fate clean Hate
seems all inclusive It
makes me want to fall reclusive And
rip the tallest loose-leaf With
a makeshift facelift For
my mental state Huh
