Depth (Perceptions)

IF you could be kool
You'd know that rules are broken
Faster than the speed of sound
LOL (sound of glass shattering)

What you just heard
Was me.......breaking another rule

The rules of the game have changed
The game has changed
Stranger than the unknown cat
Wit the gat standing next to you
In the Italian suit
Trusted
With his diamond encrusted necklace
As I stand next to you
With a t-shirt and timbs
41 tats, the nigga you fear
As we shed a tear for the stereo
I type the words that I feel
Filled with depth
Perception is a muthafucka
The cousin of Assumption
The nigga you fear
Yes, the nigga you fear
Just MIGHT save your life tonight
When you sleep in suburban peace
Not worried the least
That you could "git Got"
Inside that 5 or 6 bedroom crib
With the security cameras aimed
To tame the shrewedness of shrews
Who choose YOU
Like Goldie in "The Mack"
That very thang you lack...

[Depth:Perception]

...Is the very thing I cracked
As a 4 year-old kid
Sitting on my grandmama Pearl's lap
Reading the paper
With Mae Ruth in awe
The heir apparent to the air
Born in the sky
Too fly NOT to fly
Therefore
I'll return to the SKY
When I die
I roll 7/11's with A-Rabs
Becuz thas the only store open
On CHRISTmas day
IN-10-City
Where these lil' pants saggin'
No english language speakin'
Disrespectful
Fake thug ass punks
Run around wit loaded .9s
Ready to aim and fire
At their OWN gotdamn shadow
Becuz, truthfully
They're afraid of the DARK!

"Wonder why they call you bitch?"

And I love 'em the same
They ain't the blame
In the game thas changed
Damn shame, their parents are lame
But we can't freeze the frame
No more than we can count to a million
Backwards
Counter-clock....wise
Enough to know
All mankind's time's running down
On one clock
All mankind's time's running down
On one watch
Me

I write with no hands (heart)
I speak with no voice (soul)
I hear with my eyes
I see with my ears
I AM not the nigga to fear
Yet I am, just the same
But really, YO...

At who's feet, shall we place the blame
Of this present reign...?

A/Part Of Me...

Gemini'd slowly
I burn cold and freeze hot
I masterSpeak heated
Cold as ice storms
Over eskimo shit in the Arctic
The starkest in darkness
When the voice streams
over the next sun's rise

The heir apparent
To the air, apparently
Like a blizzard in June
8 inches of snow, deep
Inside you
D.E.E.P. inside you...
Like 90 degrees in December
So you REmember
You're limber
For the lumberjack
Swingin' low for sweet chariots

"Ride"

I'm a part of the talented 10th
A part of time you spent
A part, distant, in distance
Apart from hate's love resistance
For instance...

I don't blow trees to "git lifted"
I was already higher than your chemical high
Before I arrived on April 1-9
So when I reFine my lines
Yo can call 'em coca
And inhale my ex-hells
To find your own, personal Heaven

That is...if a part of you believes
You were made in his image...

I imagine my future
From my past tense experiences
I'm well past tense
An effortless kool
But lurkin' in the shadows
Is the side of me, undefined
Classified and confined
So...a part of me
Would take off "my kool"
And burn the 1st muthafucka
Who would ever mistake the smile on my face
As a space they can erase

I'm a part of the talented 10th
A part of time you spent
A part, distant, in distance
Apart from hate's love resistance
For instance...

Real Speak

I'm my mama's baby
My daddy's boy
My children's daddy
And h.e.r. toy
Simultaneously

I'm your friend
I'm your homie
I'm your family
I'm your lover...if you dreamin' as such

But I'm an asshole
I'm a jerk
I'm a prick
If a part of me is pushed
To play the part
And it is THEN
That...

"Things Fall Apart"

You got me, Badu
Til GOD says my time is up
But in my black thoughts
I question love, by kicks and snares
The clock I'm on ain't got no hands
Therefore, both sides of me
Shall remain: In demand.

(Rewind the tape to Remind yo plate....Maaaaan!)
