[00:31.33] Do we learn math to add the dead's sum?
[00:33.52] Subtract the weak ones, count cash for great ones?
[00:36.30] We multiply but divide the nation.
[00:38.61] Break down like fractions, send our sons away to die
[00:41.63] Do we learn science in defiance of faith?
[00:43.73] To make alliance with fakes for an appliance's sake?
[00:46.50] We ask for the real but make artificial intelligence
[00:49.19] To make smarter kills of other's presidents
[00:51.10] Why do we learn history to fix stories for the guilty?
[00:54.20] Make angels look filthy and the devils look milky?
[00:56.85] If the victory writes the books, then what have we won?
[00:59.19] Are we battleships for authorship, a rich man's guns?
[01:01.84] Do we learn to read to receive the lies to deceive the eyes
[01:05.39] From seeing between the lines.
[01:06.87] We use words to bring forth sticks and stones to sing psalms of hate
[01:10.55] That fill the streets with bones.
[01:12.16] Unseen or heard, a king with words (tablo)
[01:14.79]
[01:15.97] Lyrical assassin Make me vision the better livin'
[01:22.46] Unseen or heard, a king with words (tablo)
[01:25.66]
[01:26.22] Lyrical assassin Make me vision(I'm the truth)
[01:32.75] Is our day job more than self-slavery?
[01:35.16] When we're locked watching the clock impatiently
[01:37.66] We sweat for the dollar bills, the checks and the credit cards
[01:40.47] But that dollar kills, breaks the necks of our inner hearts
[01:42.91] If the police are role models for the righteous
[01:45.36] Why does justice depend on guns and nightsticks?
[01:47.60] Mr. officer don't punish me, with brutality
[01:50.22] These streets got me singing Marvin Gay off-key
[01:52.75] Why do we need church to get to heaven's gates?
[01:55.51] Can holy water quench the thirst of those whose fates
[01:58.01] Started in the wrong place with the wrong face?
[02:00.40] Can the poor and the hungry survive solely on grace?
[02:03.21] Can this rap game ever bring changes?
[02:05.61] When MCs would rather floss a cross than be saviors?
[02:08.39] Will I last in this game, be blasted with shame
[02:10.76] Will I stand for my name and never blaspheme for fame?
[02:13.54] Unseen or heard, a king with words(tablo)
[02:17.21] Lyrical assassin Make me vision the better livin'
[02:23.66] Unseen or heard, a king with words(tablo)
[02:27.50] Lyrical assassin Make me vision (I'm the truth)
