One two, see this?   Right here this is heat, yo, yo   Massive massive      Chorus:   There's something deep inside   That's telling you that love's so much more   This is just a masquerade   When everything's alright   You know it's time for the writing wars   If it's just a masquerade      Verse 1:   When I feel the way of my lost innocense   Looking for emotions that are fallacy   Everything is waiting on that dominance   Hoping for new opuses and alibis   And I'm with you, oh   If I could starve from falling   And I bet you, oh oh silenced the   Voices in your head but there's no place to go      (Chorus)      Verse 2:   I sit back with the microphone   Watching these emcees turn to actors   Producing all the factors   That flip life, into a masquerade   We like a bunch of manakins   Battery operated, inoculated   With five sentences connect us to the Earth   Rich sinners since the days of my birth   For what it's worth, dissuaded love   I'm steadily spreading love over the beat down   Let's meditate and feel the heat now   Like beautiful rain, on the desert plain   Cause the sun parch the ground on the weak sound   I break it down, to elements H to O   A place to go, that you can't escape the flow   Does not exist, I love the truth so I persist   Intelligent men? Or just "Gorillas in the Mist"   Clenching a black fist, for the size of dollar bill   I leave the space so you can think about it now so just chill      (Chorus)      (There's something, there's something deep in)   (There's something)   There's something deep inside   That's telling you that love's so much more   This is just a masquerade   When everything's alright   You know it's time for the writing wars   If it's just a masquerade   Black shit, ration, tryin' to step up   But they can't even cash it   Kick that shit      (Kamau)   (First saved message)   In this venture, nothing gained   I've only just touched the surface   Once nervous, when writing for a worthless purpose   It was once more than this, before the heart left the beat   The soul left the speech, I'm still trying to reach   My niche, and teach the love again   Inside the hate of a present day   Got stepped after, being genuine we're swept away   Before the importance of diamonds, bells   And a platinum place, fallen from grace   Not my campus with another trace   Of the same thing I came in, this thing is worth saving   Standing in the pockets holding tongues of what I'm saying   Blaming myself only for supporting what they're playing   I may peek through the storm, but now it's raining   Unchanging of late, it's hard to be creative   Although creating is native to me, I tried to be   Even patience couldn't save it, from the days of pages   They couldn't believe I would say this   No longer without wings, Kamau is what my name is   Too many undermind, what I underline   Placing my poetry underneath their making of rhymes   It was a creation of frustration   Brown bricks or blank slates   Subway trains and cardboard bound with masking tape   It was the sound of the evening, the way the day grew late   Words tumble from lungs over my tongue   And gave a new taste to my fate   It doesn't even matter how the chatter would paint us   With love on our side they could barely stand against us   Um, what up? Uh Kheaven, what's goin' down?   Um I got your message, and uh yeah, basically call me back   Basically call me back and tell me   Sorry about the length of the message, but you know   You feelin' it? Aight man peace   (End of message)
