Distractions

Nowadays we be rocking glasses for fashion

And f*cking with life a fraction

Covered in Max Factor, hustling ass-backwards

As sure as Hi-Tek look like Richard from Last Dragon

Your focus on bogus rappers got you caught up in distraction

Distraction. Who f*cking who? Who cares? That's distraction

You wish it was you, don't you — why you asking?

Try to break the law of attraction

Get a piece of my attention just a fraction of a ration

Or a measly little morsel

They suck your blood and you believe in the immortals

We nocturnal like a sleeping disorder

See the water drawing away from the shore

This ain't no ordinary storm

We killing for a humanitarian cause

But have yet to show up in Darfur

The Arab Spring is what it's called

But it's looking like the pride before the fall

They say it ain't about the spoils of war

But turn around and tell you how much more the oil will cost

Steal the land from the Native American and call the missiles Tomahawks

Make him a mascot, dress up like him for sport

As a final insult to this beautiful culture

Scavengers, feasting on the dead like a vulture

Snacking; how you keeping up with my rapping?

You barely keeping up with Kardashians

You caught up in distraction

It's the living proof you try to make the truth elastic as Mr. Fantastic

I'm recycling these rappers

Truthfully, these n*ggas is plastic

Coming through the front door blasting

I ain't talking bout them e-mails

That you always send to the masses

That somehow end up in my trash bin

My n*ggas got the aim of sharpshooters and the hearts of assassins

All this war, all this life, all this passion

No time for distractions

Give a f*ck if the President wear a flag pin

My rhyming is deep as holes Chilean miners are trapped in

Or the cracks in the earth under Asia Minor causing disasters

My deep cuts way above your minor infractions

Talk to rappers like children cause that's how they acting

They holding their hands like minors in traffic

The captains of industry and the lovers of status quo

Have a deep-seeded fear of change

For them it's strange they wanna go

Back to the 50′s, they asking for a return

But them days is much blacker, for lack of a better term

We adapted to the times, but this culture we had to learn

Came about as natural as a perm on a pachyderm

These fascists have had their turn

We packing them German burners, them Lugers

The next shooters is waiting for Superman, they get nothing but Lex Luthor

America's nightmare, vivid as Fred Kruger

Our heroes are dead to us

Spirit that bled through us

Endear us to the rhythm so the flow is so foolish

What you hearing is precision

The people so thirsty, what they seeing is mirages

But a passion for Photoshopping and your YouTube collages

Coming through like Collossus

Exposing the false prophet

Taught how to do the knowledge so I'm never off-topic

A lie is like a potion

First it gets you open

Then you swallow whole straight for the truth

No chasers, skip religion and the politics

And head straight for the compassion

Everything else is a distraction
