"What Eye Said" lyrics

"What Eye Said"

It takes a Nation
Is it just my hallucination?
These microphones designed like war drones
Who drop bombs
Upon women, children, and moms
Gots the nerve to bring it here in this atmosphere
Who really cares? Even those closest near
Pickup trucks creatin' fear
Who wake up caught, mad at the mirror
Woke with nobody to hear ya

With a bad attitude
Forget how you look
Because ugly is under your face, my dude
No biggie, I figured
Can you rap a verse
Without first writing a curse?

Diamond in the teeth
Media beef
Diggin' the scene on the shit I'm seeing
Hmmmm...

Create fast like
You're gonna die tomorrow
Posting ain't talking
Texting ain't writing
Scrolling and reading
Grits ain't groceries, cyborg soul
[?]
Chess ain't checkers
I'm in a world you can hope to get to
Better pray your current world
Don't forget you, let you
I'm everywhere, nowhere at the same time
Should be a crime
Now losing my rhyme
64 bars to memorize
Saw a shrink to help me get it hypnotized
Hmmmm...

Five fingers of Black Death
Hypertension, diabetes, cancer, stress
Toxic, worst of everything
Bad food fueling the youth
Killing middle age
Killing OGs too

More than street beef and shooting
Is it beef stuck in your teeth?
What is you doin?
Time is like a river
Running like dark liquor on the liver
Fix my mouth to deliver
Hmmmm...
