《On Conscious》歌词

[00:00:00] Yo this tangled web we weave you know I'm sayin'

[00:00:05] We judge based on what only we believe

[00:00:09] And not on what god believe all of us man we just people

[00:00:13] We're just trying to get through this thing called life man

[00:00:17] All of us made mistakes keepin' making mistakes

[00:00:23] We made being conscious into a religion instead of a tool man

[00:00:29] I was trapped deep in this judgmental thing too

[00:00:32] I'm come at it like this

[00:00:34] I had some thoughts about the black conscious scene

[00:00:37] The red the black the green afrocentric routine

[00:00:41] Whether we be consciously or sub-consciously aware or keen

[00:00:45] Or just knocked on conscious

[00:00:48] Now of course it's great to feel great about your race

[00:00:51] Your nose your face your country even your state

[00:00:54] Your spicy foods your unique attitudes

[00:00:57] What makes me me and you you

[00:01:01] But all roots come from just one source the creator

[00:01:03] That's the missing link that justified having slaves for the enslaver

[00:01:07] Thinking one is lesser and the others greater

[00:01:10] One's lost the other the savior

[00:01:13] On the conscious scene you'll find more greetings instead

[00:01:15] Than in a hallmark store where hellos are said

[00:01:18] And the brother nods his head and what's next is his fist to his chest

[00:01:21] How you doing god oh I'm blessed

[00:01:24] In the conscious

[00:01:25] In the conscious scene there's more blessed human beings

[00:01:28] Than there is grass that's green at least that's how it seems

[00:01:31] Bingo sayin' blessed has become just lingo

[00:01:35] 'Cuz stressed is how it really goes

[00:01:37] And we think deep down and when no one else is around

[00:01:41] In the conscious scene we take things to the extreme

[00:01:44] We won't call a sista sista we call the sista queen

[00:01:48] But a queen is royalty so we should treat her that way

[00:01:51] But if you ask does she feel like a queen I wonder what she'd say

[00:01:54] If she's conscious she'd probably say I'm blessed I guess

[00:01:58] Even if her relationship's a mess

[00:02:00] In the conscious scene we don't confess

[00:02:02] Anything that's not perfect

[00:02:05] It don't mean wack stuff ain't goin' on

[00:02:07] We just quilt our covers to be strong

[00:02:10] And cover up

[00:02:11] And incomprehensible our seemingly righteous wrongs

[00:02:16] Now the conscious scene will judge you quick

[00:02:18] If you now use rollers when you used to use a pick or opposite

[00:02:23] One day a perm the next all natural

[00:02:26] But what change did you're heart undergo

[00:02:29] Is the good heart determined by a fro

[00:02:32] What if the kkk wore fro's would dey suddenly have soul

[00:02:35] If I don't hug you on both sides am I truly off balance

[00:02:39] If I shake with my left hand did I truly disrespect the man

[00:02:42] Man o man it's hard to be a conscious african

[00:02:45] If you're conscious of the double stand

[00:02:47] I mean double standards understand

[00:02:50] Oops I mean over stand there it goes again

[00:02:53] I guess it's just the way of the world

[00:02:55] Or may be just the way of the words

[00:02:56] Speakin' of words the conscious scene is ain't down wit the way

[00:03:00] Tupac and biggie did dey things now ain't that sumpin'

[00:03:02] They're just more blatant wit their womanizing statements

[00:03:05] While we're more slick but will make booty calls just as quick

[00:03:09] Like atari both of us controlled solely by our joysticks

[00:03:13] We diss the white man for being so materialistic

[00:03:16] Yet we the only ones going ballistic to get his materials

[00:03:19] We ice friends to make cream

[00:03:22] We pass around a pipe just to have a dream

[00:03:25] We pass around a pipe just to have a dream yeah god

[00:03:29] I know god is higher than we are

[00:03:31] But not higher than we are get it

[00:03:34] We can stop calling' each other niggas

[00:03:36] But won't guns still have triggers

[00:03:38] And won't our hands still have fingers

[00:03:40] And won't we still be finger lickin' eatin' chicken black folks

[00:03:44] We must be proud of our roots but there is no substitute

[00:03:47] But the fact we're all wack

[00:03:49] Whether white jewish asian hispanic indian or black

[00:03:54] The truth is we're all ruthless

[00:03:56] And our love is as conditional as medical insurance

[00:03:59] And without the man jesus we're hopeless

[00:04:02] I say the man not the slave ship

[00:04:04] But the one spoke of in god's manuscript

[00:04:07] And not the one painted wit a pale face at yo grandma's crib

[00:04:10] And surely not the one at dem churches that's all preach and no live

[00:04:15] If we're gonna be conscious let's start really being conscious

[00:04:18] About treatin' our wives with respect not takin' dey welfare checks

[00:04:21] And start puttin' all fake jokas in straight up check

[00:04:25] No more thinkin' wit our joysticks

[00:04:28] No more takin' chick flicks at freak nic

[00:04:30] While we way that the white man is so sick

[00:04:33] 'Cuz until we stop being' such hypocrites

[00:04:36] We gonna continue to be knocked on conscious can you dig it

[00:04:39] Can you dig it can you dig it can you dig it

[00:04:42] Can you dig it

[00:04:42] Can you dig it can you dig it can you dig it

[00:04:45] Can you dig it

[00:04:46] Can you dig it can you dig it can you dig it

[00:04:48] Can you dig it

[00:04:49] Can you dig it can you dig it can you dig it

[00:04:50] Can you dig it

[00:04:54] I been wonderin' isn't it for us to wrong

[00:04:59] Standing out here all alone when we can go home

[00:05:06] I been wonderin' isn't it for us to cry

[00:05:12] Makin' moves just to get by seachin' for the light

[00:05:19] I been wonderin' isn't it for us to wrong

[00:05:24] Standing out here all alone when we can go home

[00:05:31] I been wonderin' isn't it for us to cry

[00:05:37] Makin' moves just to get by seachin' for the light
