I see you got a book bag on ya back bet theres no books in it Hope you take a long look before you step up in this cipher Into something true that you know nathan about I see you mouth moving with those stagnant words going nowhere Staying right there i swear you play the part well Of a sell out cat i can tell you never had heart You fell so quick when i freestyle heads came to spit The cipher was too real for ya fiction - pre-written Detailed descriptions of what the 360 might have in it So ya pointin' out ya shell toes and the last man to finish You a happy go lucky kid but this pancake act is sad What you got markers in ya hand for not like you like to tag What you be bombing buses or something like it was easy Scribble a name on a sticker and stick it and call it graffiti You a card you funny - more like a joker Useless in this culture i despise all yall posers So what you kop material released independently What you bought was a demo tape and you begged to get it for free So i see you as a nazi i'll never let you permeate Pull up ya pants punk you 'don't wear a size 38 I'm glad i can't relate to you at all i like being free To release projects and be unique Move'm independently definitely we come close to being the same But different monies, different principals a whole different ball game But the name of who i rep for keeps me a step ahead of the rest My text is always thought through to be blessed While you speak on dollars my goal is to make a change Re-arrange the way the globe operates on a day to day basis I'm flagerant - with my motives and actions No record contract adds up to a fair transaction Infractions of the laws of physics couldn't change my mind So i'll never sign my soul away for that empty dollar sign In the sign of the times i multiply life to gain freedom All you fed us was lies but i never believed'em I can't trust you if you see hip-hop solely as a business You can live off the culture but first you have to live it We sometimes see eye to eye now bro's in faith Can't escape the calling we all have so one day the Man of sin will fall - (fall) brought to his knees pleading for grace Chasing forgiveness til it's caught (caught) Hoping to erase past misdeeds so we all yearn to be free We either seek for jesus or mohamed to find true piece Whether the case be we in need of a common ground Satan divides us with lies so wall will never come down We need ta - see the deception at hand Across this land of milk and honey we losing 1st command Who's in charge of ya vessel ya temple is taken over A prisoner in ya own skin addicted to legal medicine No evidence found it leaves not a trace behind So you stay blind in a state of mind locked down Enslaved to hypocrisy fed to you in double doses No sound in captivity could ever change your prognosis Chorus Close - but not close enough You might try but you can't get close Close - but not close enough You might try but you can't...
