Mind Notes Pt.8 'What's The Deal'




What's the deal
We hear the people say
What on Earth is going on
In the world today
Trying to keep focus
Sometimes the mind strays
Contemplating paradise
And just floating away

What's the deal
We hear the people say
What on Earth is going on
In the world today
Life spins fast
Hold tight
Enjoy the ride
No matter what happens
Try and spread some good in this life


What's the deal
What's my inspiration
Speak for the people
And you know that I've got dedication
There's too much talking
Not enough action
They lead us to believe
That everybody's packing
But everybody's slacking
Chasing that cheese
We surrounded by fronters
And schemers and thieves
These day to day capers
Just make me laugh
Think you can consume the pie
But you cant reach half
Because it's dirty
And it's rotten
And corrupt to the core
And it's a joke
Because people know
And they still want more
This perpetual paper chase
Man's ain't watching no face
Do anything for the paper
Any time
Any place
So I make haste to my destination
No half stepping
50FEETDEEP
Straight peace and love reppin'
It's war in these streets
I don't carry no weapons
Just my pen and my pad
And my lyrical venom


I'm the modern robin hood
The Bruce Wayne of lyricists
Spreading my knowledge
Let it rain over ignorance
Forget chasing paper
I'm hitting 16's
Straight bars and hooks
You know what I mean
Because there's too much fake talk
People not saying nothing
Radios and TV's
All I hear & see is fronting
So I'm speaking up for the people
Who struggle and strive
Keep your chin up people
Because we have got to survive
We got to make real moves
Be the best we can be
Even though there's limitations
We got to work and achieve
Make the most of what you got
Work with the situation
Except life's not easy
We must have patience
Enjoy your experiences
And learn from your mistakes
Take care of your affairs
Because there's a lot at stake
Throw caution to the wind
Stay on your toes at all times
And never forget
To spread love in this life


16 left to spit
Bars to rip
On a conscious level
So it's not a chart hit
But my fires are lit
And my fuels are steady burning
Yearning to speak thoughts
About my social learning
Each one
Teach one
Get with the programme
Got raw insight
But I'm a humble man
With a noble plan
To spread some sense to my brothers
Surrounded by intellect and ignorance
Fighters and lovers
They try and run us out of the streets
And into the jails
The system is designed for a reason
So many will fail
But many prevail
Persevere and maintain
Can't get caught in the cycle
Of poverty again
Many still feel pain
Because life's ladder is real long
Got to have the willpower
Make sure your characters strong
Because we all belong to mother nature
We're the Earth family
We've been here for a minute
But we need some longevity



PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!
