I saw a man yesterday,   Snub-nosed . 38 to temple test his fate   And lose.   I had the same new balance shoes   I wonder what size?         City gates long abandoned, hit ill chord type Hammond B-3   Mind altered state changes scenery   This all seems to be average Hip-hop   Watch as noise-floor drops into recesses and crevasses   As whoever attempts to be my nemesis   Guesses wrong as to meaning of this song   Bygone be bygones, why prolong the inevitable conclusion   Career choice was illusion   Mc's need skill transfusion for using   radio friendly format,   Predictable attack    Fragile as hemophiliacs   I extract essence intact   Speak to face of Anglo-Saxons   With no weapons   I'm that kid you slept on,   bottled my aggression   Concise paragraphs is window sills to life.   Niggas feeling nice on corner blocks   As soapbox preachers speak on Christ   Religion and Ism is just vice   Dull mental gives them sharper knife   Gouging out our eyes   Realize what be lies   And why our babies cry.         I saw a man yesterday,   Snub-nosed . 38 to temple test his fate   And lose.   I had the same new balance shoes   I wonder what size?         Desensitized, dwell on inkwell   Got inebriated off the blood of those I hated   In past lives   Nines reloaded by bloated officers snorting nine lines   Equation sublime   In 4/4 time, key of d   Classical poet, present day Mc   Hit your cells like hennesy   Expound boundaries like Timothy Leary   Mind's journey got you weary   Couldn't digest this spoken theory   Why your eyes teary?   Impaired vision so I speak in infrared verbs,   Severed nerves pulsing Morse coded pain   Silent syllables form words as rain wash away   Worldwide Chinese torture, cries of my culture   Keeps my nocturnal insomnia intact    Assaults alter random attacks   As you react to my act on 1st take   like Roberta Flack   Deep within the realms of this knapsack   Lie scripted scrolls and cuneiform clay tablets    Form Sumarian prophets   Unlock it.         I saw a man yesterday,   Snub-nosed . 38 to temple test his fate   And lose.   I had the same new balance shoes   I wonder what size?         Galvanized loose ends tied    Form electrical jungle vines   Keeping paths from hindsight   Loose ends galvanized   Wander wondering at twilight   Verbals to ignite.
