shaman in the spot - part B

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.
