Be side-kicked, or a sidekick
A psychic, or have your side kicked
Obvious suggestions for a hood riot
These are options, that determines rather to ride alone
A rolling stone, these are footprints that man follow from instincts of its backbone
Strange alleys, weapons stay drawn and trouble stay shown
Such moments are gone, to some people this feeling is home
The thrill is gone, as we sing the blues
Another child caught in crossfire as the family deal with the news
The system is screwed
But we grow wiser, as our past seems to haunt us like the Equalizer
Every fiber of my being, is releasing the struggles that I'm seeing
The soul can't ache too long before the mind is tempted
2 things I was taught, mind your business and that there is no limit
We was made in his image but yet we alter appearance, God makes no mistakes
The most hypocritical statement we misuse
How could you act confused at this crisis but yet unmoved?
Quick rundown of what we facing and steadily go through
It's all old news
Wisdom has a plan, my God has a plan
I said, the wise has the plan and therefore I know
Mankind has a chance
Slow stroll down the sidewalk, they say beware of the nighthawks
Drive-bys are liable to go down after 9 o'clock
Take precautions on the crosswalk
Or be the hot topic on the news outlined in chalk
If you're the prey, I pray you know you being stalked
As this world comes to a halt, I hope we find peace
This piece of mine gives me peace of mind
The art of surrealism gave me a way out in these hard times
Stick thy sword in the sand of time, study war no more
No separation between rich and poor
What else do we have in store? We still shipping coke down by the port
The poor get crack, the roads still got crack surfaces
Trying to see where everyone's conscious is
Does anything hold value without any acknowledgement?
Recognition in this cold world is a black man's scholarship
I just look forward, cause I know the wiser I become, the more I become one
Wisdom has a plan, my God has a plan
I said, the wise has the plan and therefore I know
Mankind has a chance
