Say Good Lord

(album: Listen Watch Focus - 2008)

[Propaganda:]
Man, I ain't ignorant
Controlling influence, there's a difference
Appreciate good teaching but don't give me your opinions
I ain't speaking foolishly, I'm watching your conditions
How you answer questions from the issue that was mentioned
My crew ain't delusional, we're speaking definition
Who you tryna fool like I can't make my own decision?
Thinking we can't see through your attempt to get submission
Stealing all our children by filling them with Ritalin
Dumbing down your parents 'til your message has convinced them
National security would give them right to come in
Mind control to them is more powerful than dividends
If they got your heart, they got your pockets, son you listening?
Came to open minds up with this gift that I was given
Y'all know how Propaganda do, there'll never be no switching
Focus watch listen, don't there ever be no dissing
So when I finish ripping up your hearts and hands are lifting like

I stand for what I believe
I don't compromise, I am not that guy (I am not them)
I am not that guy (nah mean?)

[Elsie Ortega:]
It's media mayhem, precautionary frenzy
Keep the world informed, acknowledge that you're skimpy
Not so true facts, our minds remain empty
Souls thirsty, tell me how else you're gonna hurt me
Work me, we the people be please jerk me
America the beautiful
Pull the wool over their eyes, now we're full of bull
Spacious skies but no living that is suitable
So I must testify
That apple pie damn sure ain't meant for you and I
We are not them, brown skin, hard to fit in
Taught and conditioned
Know your role and play your position
This is inner city not good with submission
Can't force my hand, can't force my decisions
Educated woman, move by convictions
So Mr. Politician, you can keep your promise, I got God-given vision

[Propaganda:]
I stand for what I believe
I don't compromise, I am not that guy (I am not them)
I am not that guy (nah mean?)

[Macho:]
I used to think it was black or white, one or the other
This rapper's life more than bragging rights over my brother
Cause all that matters is where I stand in history
I'm in the valley, I'm tryna solve a mystery
I seen my people infested with a sickness and virus
The antidote is ingrained in my tissues and fibers
My lyrics are rivers combing Euphrates and Tigris
My flow is organic though the planet is dying of toxic
Oxygen that we breathe or the antibiotic-fed cows they breed
Listen I ain't never been the one to run away
My lady told me breathe easy, live to fight another day
But yo, I've been sworn to ensure that the lost are found
I was born to bring freedom to the scorned and bound
Hardcore at whatever I do
Don't let my focus become [?] you
Down with a veteran crew

[Propaganda:]
I stand for what I believe
I don't compromise, I am not that guy (I am not them)
I am not that guy (nah mean?)
