Lyrics:

Jumped over some bricks and down a green pipe
I'm in a time warp like Mario
society is sorrowful, and I'm not sorrow to
speak to the obvious progression of hip-hop
cause actually it's a regression
naw really it's dead, so fuck rap
you can have it back
and no use for a platinum plaque
the kids all download anyway,
so I'm wishin I could just go back
to the days when DJ's would Flexx
and suggest the next hot record
keep your ear to the street
because I think we livin in the end times
or maybe 7 years past
reference check Nas for the accuracy
hip-hop was dead in 06'
2pac was shot in 1996- sept. 13th
Nas was born on 14,
so he is seeing the larger perspective lens
transclusent, while kids get confused with
what's being played and promoted and think they got to fit in
I'm still stuck in the days when the game was highly critical
now the game is just in highly critical—condition!

Chorus:

I'm trying to make you see through a translucent lens
and not an opague one
it's Mekkah's native son
Spittin with a native toungue
93 million miles from the sun
Connectin back to the Source of 1

Verse 2:

I'm not one to base my life on conspiracy theories
like the Illuminati and the like
as if this game was being controlled by
some giant off in the hillside
Mos Definitely hip-hop is us
and we are hip-hop
so one must do justice to ourselves
if we want things to be just
cause in the end it is just-us
and then there is them
they want the game to come to an end
open you mind up like a library
and let's let the lies be burried
when we see knowledge for our own self
it is within
and stop believin you have to be reachin
for the next thing and next thing
I bind back, like the roots of re-ligion
to go back to when Sinbad relied on jinn
to get him off of an evil island
so that he could begin again on the next land
If they all go right
best believe I go left
cause I'm different, and that's how I do
I'm grunge rock, anti-star
like Kobain, overdosin on pain
or Dr. Dre in the Source with
a gun to his head, mid-90's
cause they relate to fans
more than a man trying to
be mr. mr. celebrity
fuck him, I'd rather be
less than, the Sufi doesn't tell you he's a Sufi
the gem doesn't say it's a gem
who feels it knows
be up on what's hip
and if we hop to the top
then others wanna bandwagon jump
are you on the front or back
i'd rather be off the boat—on a life raft
then trying to act like another ficca in rap
so fucc that I do my own
a Rollling stone
nomadic ficca, I'm the Refugee
you a clone!
