lyrics

Verse 1:

The weed has me elevated and I'm intoxicated, too/ Celebrated I made it through a year so here's a case of brews/ Dedicated to helping people out of that gated zoo/ Which is ya mind, I insist ya find ways to get motivated dude/ I stated that outdated views need to be upgraded, true/ Have you identified the devices that have miseducated you?/ Do away with a slew of ideas and beliefs that blockaded new/ Progression to appear, lesson been here and awaited you/ I degraded who? Myself when I debated fools/ The protection of the pride set aside a chance to be aided to/ For the sophisticated few no longer living in a sedated mood/ I guess it was fated that the hatred grew and now invaded you/ I'm not persuaded by what they say or do or even display on tubes/ Explain why the profane desecrated sacred rooms when they raided tombs/ I sort of be, laboriously, looking for truth in these shaded clues/ Shout out to my lady boo and baby girl that 's half Native Sioux/

Chorus:

No longer will I, No longer will I/
Try to learn truth through the lenses of a lie/

(Repeated 4x)

Verse 2:

Instead of being ghetto fabulous, Instead of being ghetto fabulous/ Learn to be a catalyst to stop the paralysis of analysis/ Imhotep the alchemist yeah introduced calculus/ The center of the Eye of Ra is analogous with the thalamus/ How can this go unheard? To some, this is so absurd/ The progression of knowledge is becoming more and more slowed and blurred/ People rather just go to work, spend their dough on clothes ya heard/ I reflect on all this dedicated ignorance as I blow some herb/ oh my word, honestly, some people will probably burst/ In tears, when they learned for years they been worshiping Ptolemy 1/ In the form of Serapis, as I rap this ill quality verse/ To inform the masses they practice a sense of astrology, word!/ Acknowledge your worth, do your homework and then you decide/ If we've been indoctrinated with beliefs that left us stupefied/ Don't be that clueless guy that gets polluted because he's not rooted right/ Get over that wounded pride, Naw you can't live through a lie/

Chorus:

No longer will I, No longer will I/
Try to learn truth through the lenses of a lie/

(Repeated 4x)
