[00:00.00]90听音乐网 www.90T8.com  [00:00.52]Yo this tangled web we weave you know I'm sayin' [00:05.96]We judge based on what only we believe [00:09.52]And not on what god believe all of us man we just people [00:13.84]We're just trying to get through this thing called life man [00:17.76]All of us made mistakes keepin' making mistakes [00:23.39]We made being conscious into a religion instead of a tool man [00:29.15]I was trapped deep in this judgmental thing too [00:32.36]I'm come at it like this [00:34.49]I had some thoughts about the black conscious scene [00:37.86]The red the black the green afrocentric routine [00:41.66]Whether we be consciously or sub-consciously aware or keen [00:45.17]Or just knocked on conscious [00:48.32]Now of course it's great to feel great about your race [00:51.49]Your nose your face your country even your state [00:54.87]Your spicy foods your unique attitudes [00:57.57]What makes me me and you you [01:01.07]But all roots come from just one source the creator [01:03.99]That's the missing link that justified having slaves for the enslaver [01:07.52]Thinking one is lesser and the others greater [01:10.45]One's lost the other the savior [01:13.57]On the conscious scene you'll find more greetings instead [01:15.63]Than in a hallmark store where hellos are said [01:18.26]And the brother nods his head and what's next is his fist to his chest [01:21.91]How you doing god oh I'm blessed [01:24.69]In the conscious [01:25.97]In the conscious scene there's more blessed human beings [01:28.31]Than there is grass that's green at least that's how it seems [01:31.97]Bingo sayin' blessed has become just lingo [01:35.51]'Cuz stressed is how it really goes [01:37.84]And we think deep down and when no one else is around [01:41.30]In the conscious scene we take things to the extreme [01:44.19]We won't call a sista sista we call the sista queen [01:48.08]But a queen is royalty so we should treat her that way [01:51.18]But if you ask does she feel like a queen I wonder what she'd say [01:54.71]If she's conscious she'd probably say I'm blessed I guess [01:58.00]Even if her relationship's a mess [02:00.28]In the conscious scene we don't confess [02:02.56]Anything that's not perfect [02:05.39]It don't mean wack stuff ain't goin' on [02:07.91]We just quilt our covers to be strong [02:10.27]And cover up [02:11.13]And incomprehensible our seemingly righteous wrongs [02:16.22]Now the conscious scene will judge you quick [02:18.99]If you now use rollers when you used to use a pick or opposite [02:23.74]One day a perm the next all natural [02:26.47]But what change did you're heart undergo [02:29.18]Is the good heart determined by a fro [02:32.00]What if the kkk wore fro's would dey suddenly have soul [02:35.29]If I don't hug you on both sides am I truly off balance [02:39.04]If I shake with my left hand did I truly disrespect the man [02:42.16]Man o man it's hard to be a conscious african [02:45.47]If you're conscious of the double stand [02:47.34]I mean double standards understand [02:50.06]Oops I mean over stand there it goes again [02:53.71]I guess it's just the way of the world [02:55.24]Or may be just the way of the words [02:56.92]Speakin' of words the conscious scene is ain't down wit the way [03:00.27]Tupac and biggie did dey things now ain't that sumpin' [03:02.63]They're just more blatant wit their womanizing statements [03:05.75]While we're more slick but will make booty calls just as quick [03:09.41]Like atari both of us controlled solely by our joysticks [03:13.17]We diss the white man for being so materialistic [03:16.29]Yet we the only ones going ballistic to get his materials [03:19.63]We ice friends to make cream [03:22.23]We pass around a pipe just to have a dream [03:25.29]We pass around a pipe just to have a dream yeah god [03:29.47]I know god is higher than we are [03:31.65]But not higher than we are get it [03:34.60]We can stop calling' each other niggas [03:36.26]But won't guns still have triggers [03:38.21]And won't our hands still have fingers [03:40.11]And won't we still be finger lickin' eatin' chicken black folks [03:44.41]We must be proud of our roots but there is no substitute [03:47.67]But the fact we're all wack [03:49.73]Whether white jewish asian hispanic indian or black [03:54.01]The truth is we're all ruthless [03:56.31]And our love is as conditional as medical insurance [03:59.52]And without the man jesus we're hopeless [04:02.61]I say the man not the slave ship [04:04.64]But the one spoke of in god's manuscript [04:07.37]And not the one painted wit a pale face at yo grandma's crib [04:10.59]And surely not the one at dem churches that's all preach and no live [04:15.08]If we're gonna be conscious let's start really being conscious [04:18.23]About treatin' our wives with respect not takin' dey welfare checks [04:21.66]And start puttin' all fake jokas in straight up check [04:25.77]No more thinkin' wit our joysticks [04:28.04]No more takin' chick flicks at freak nic [04:30.82]While we way that the white man is so sick [04:33.70]'Cuz until we stop being' such hypocrites [04:36.19]We gonna continue to be knocked on conscious can you dig it [04:39.25]Can you dig it can you dig it can you dig it [04:42.03]Can you dig it [04:42.93]Can you dig it can you dig it can you dig it [04:45.51]Can you dig it [04:46.22]Can you dig it can you dig it can you dig it [04:48.36]Can you dig it [04:49.00]Can you dig it can you dig it can you dig it [04:50.82]Can you dig it [04:54.31]I been wonderin' isn't it for us to wrong [04:59.50]Standing out here all alone when we can go home [05:06.67]I been wonderin' isn't it for us to cry [05:12.08]Makin' moves just to get by seachin' for the light [05:19.33]I been wonderin' isn't it for us to wrong
