shaman in
the spot - part B
/ACT%20I%20INTO%20THE%20BLACK/shaman_in_the_spotlight.jpg)
Ain't it time to stop the GRUDGES
Stop the derision cuz you’re ALL cussed out
Hey, for a change/ come bust out
some vision tonight/ for us/ that’s right
not tele- but/ VISION!
instead of the low blow dissin’ on us
OH NO pissin’ on us
that’s like, SO endearing,
OH SO charming
sounds like a goddamn prisoner bus/ that’s slouching
back from prior verdicts/ ouching
Your destination? No surprise. Back down to COUNTY
Ouch ouch!/ I look around me
Your scene/ so chilly it astounds me!
Is this really the best that you can be?
Celebrating your last felony?
Or inventing more fake history?
is that all you got to be selling me?
No
higher purpose?
The
battle freeze-out is ABnormal weather.
I
could/ probably use a sweater
Don’t you know it could only get warmer here/ and better
The day y’all stop acting so mental!
Don’t answer me back, I’m not acting parental
I’m just the Number One/ battle dissenter
I
AM a sage, kids/ sometimes EVEN a mentor
And if you are my family? If that RAGE is
What I see on the FACES
of all my dysfunctional brothers when I SAY this:
Why, why, why can’t you
feel me?
BE a shaman! A shaman in the spotlight!!
Bring more truth/ TO me
That actually connects/ TO me!
Get over your empty/ preening.
Wanna hear more thoughtful/ dreaming!
Raise the tone! elevate that battle zone!
Instead of IN-sult and mud-slinging and shit talking
Let’s hear the wicked debate skills that you are all honing!
Debate and rebuttal
Rebuttal and debate
Forget about the
BOASTing for me
Let’s have you rollerCOASTing for me
On trains of thought/ with surprise turns
On rails of imagination with sudden drops and swerves
and TOASTing for me
To the everyday life that we AC-tually lead
Not cloning for me more of the blingin' crap you see
on VH1 and on BET.
