Letra

[Illogic]
I am the footprints of my ancestors throughout the sands of time
The lineage of the pyramids with an axe to grind
The shards of the broken promises of mankind that slice the feet of the meek and those whose pros will never be defined
I am poet with verbiage and cursive on the frontlines
Blood of fallen soldiers, glistening in the sunrise
Tomorrow's morning as tonight dies
Remnants of an evening breeze, the offspring of a moonlit sky
I am human being asinine
Lost on an endless search to find mine
I am truth fighting temptation alight with lies
The more that I try, the harder it is to dismantle the disguise
My mother's tears, my wife's smile, my son's eyes
My father's fear, my brother's laugh, my grandma's drive
My friend's beef, the world's pain, I need sleep
I'm too deep when all I really need to be is who I am

Only you know what you can be
What they do don't change what you can see
Nothing they can tell you
Everything is brand new

[Blueprint]
I grew up in South Bus-Town, the youngest of four
Was taught to have class even if you was poor
Pops gone by middle school, he was drunk at the bar
You could smell it on his breath soon as he walked through the door
To put food on the table, mom's hustle was pure
I go hard 'cause I don't wanna see you struggle no more
She said, "Son, I like Ohio but it's time to move on
Your granddad's down south and the weather is warm
If you can help me get there, I can sell you this home
Been here for fifty years, puttin' up with this cold
It get deep in your bones and your muscles is soar"
I made it happen, cap'n, when I got back from the tour
'cause when it came to the kids, their only way was to give
And the way that she live is gonna shape who he is
I share a lot on record, but not my family biz
You can't invade where my sanity is, it's grown man shit

Only you know what you can be
What they do don't change what you can see
Nothing they can tell you
Everything is brand new

[Toki Wright]
From the twelfth largest state, twenty-first largest population
Mister Right Alright, you know me from my occupation
Almost died in '99, I had an operation
I been waiting for this moment, but I lost my patience
Used to sneak out of the crib so I could kick it on the corner with these kids, 'round the corner from the place I lived
Now I've grown and I don't really kick it
I just work to get my family to a safer place, now let me state my business
No play an eighth of scrimmage
I got a baby I can only see a couple times a week, really it's kinda deep
And this economy got me out Econo Lodge like I don't need all of the stars to still get all of y'all's applause
Been in it for the cause and never just because
Open scars inside my palms 'til I adjust the gauze
Open scars on prison walls 'til they adjust them laws
Get accosted by the law and ask 'em, "What's the charge?"
I've been abroad to Africa with children from the war that have been forced to kill their brother right in front their ma
No one has me feeling funny when I'm at the mall
I shoulda wrote that song long ago 'cause that's my job
I live inside the television with the captions on
Feeling like I cracked the mirror at the crack of dawn
And stay strong long enough to get my cap and gown
Toki Wright, Greenhouse Effect, ask around

Only you know what you can be
What they do don't change what you can see
Nothing they can tell you
Everything is brand new
