Lyrics
Intro DJs and MCs In the place to be Diamond D and Kweli You're now rocking with the best Get that hate off your chest With no further ado We bringin’ it straight to you (Verse 1) Beauty's in the eye of the beholder What you see is, only what they show ya We're tryin’ to get by, you're only tryin' to get over That's why your lady cryin' on my shoulder, like This n***a trippin' like Jack and Mr. ?Roper? Chameleon a** n***as change color like Sammy Sosa Gettin' burned by the sun when we fly a little closеr You're drivin’ with a chauffeur while wе dyin’ for the culture The media, picking at the flesh like a vulture Disrespectful like "f**k your couch" feet on the sofa As tourists bring in gentrification like interlopers The pro Blackness provoker They mad cause I be makin' white supremacy my focus ?Stomp a mudhole and a nazi from ident**y he wrote? It’s a beautiful thing like Coka Nostra My look is focused like the ?sider? on a wanted poster God's soldier, Bars colder than Mars rover Me and Diamond puffin' a Shrek and I don't mean a large ogre Word to God, I started out as a ?tired star forward? You should have paid attention to the stories my scars told ya I been nice, for shoes puttin’ pennies in your loafers The style watered down, like mixin' Henny with the soda And don't nobody do it doper Me and Diamond keep it realer than we supposed ta Hook (samples) Verse 2 Every verse is like a prayer son The game is full of shooters, they used to shoot you a fair one Just for starein' like a care bear We faithful, but the space that we occupyin' is rare air We been the favorite of you favorites But they underestimatin' like Goliath did to David The manifesto or the mission statement Written by the saviors of the culture cause I'm vision greater We pro Justice and we pro Black We pro knowledge and we pro Facts No cap, we get it goin' like a slow clap While most rap cats is terrified of the blow back This is not a throwback, this the future though Stupido, rappers be goofy as Marco Rubio The Studios is temples, so what they doin' is blasphemous Nas said it was dead, but we brought it back like it's Lazarus The catalyst for change, We responded to the climate Cause the weather's never the same, we blessed whenever it rain Her name is very germane, standin' over buried remains Profanity's disclaimed cause we livin' very profane Don't be normal be exceptional, cause the average ain't suitin' you Pursue the unusual, and do what is beautiful Stay truest to your principles, stick to em' like it's superglue That's the blueprint to make it harder for the devil to try usin' you N***a's is abusin' you
