Strange Fruition
(专辑: Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1 - 2012)
[Lupe Fiasco] Now I
can't pledge allegiance to your flag Cause I
can't find no reconciliation with your past When there was nothing equal for my people in your math You forced us in the
ghetto and then you took our dads The
belly of the
beast, these streets are demons' abs I'm telling you that setup in them sit-ups is so sad The
system is a
slab Corruption is the
swinger sittin high ridin dirty, drag racin into danger And it's so clean, pine trees smellin good With work off in the
trunk and niggas in the
hood So I
can't shed blood on any battlefield of yours I
pray the
ugly truth comes and shatters your decor And as it all falls down and tatters on the
floor I
shed tears, I
don't know what really matters anymore Cause I
don't know what really matters anymore [Chorus: Casey Benjamin] Many things, strangest things you ever seen Oh, look at how they swing, would you look at how they swing? Embedded they go, no eyelids gone low Or gone by sundown, they're dodging 5-0 [Lupe Fiasco] Now as I
wander through the
city goin mad I
see the
fruits of planting evidence instead of grass A
swindled generation with no patience, full of swag Man, they so impatient with the
stations that they have As long as they look good when they be doin bad Then the
separation from the
truth is gettin vast, fast Be a
slave at first or free at last Double-edged choices make a
nigga wanna pass Double-headed voices from the
eagle on the
staff The
pyramid where eyes will split the
spirited in half Divided over money Delighted by the
dummyin down of the
importance of crowns we'll never have That's why my sounds and sermons are so full of wrath Baptize your mind, let your brain take a
bath Swim inside the
river get delivered from the
craft Of the
witches in this business that be livin off your sad Hatin on your happiness you hit 'em off with laughs Smile 'til they surrender, then you kill 'em off with glad Hello evil, I'm back [Chorus]
