lyrics

I still believe in natural law
International and factual. Disaster and all
Scrappin' and actually cracking a jaw
And passionately rapping if the track is the bomb
But believing a buck all we gotta save
Is like thinking Lincoln gave a fuck about slaves
Ignorant and bigoted, the way he behaved
I get to bending ligaments when I'm in a rage
I believe writing flows with the word play
And even fighting foes with my verbiage
Deceit and lies I've known in the worst way
But Jesus died and rose on the third day
So, we can overcome too
Don't ever let the rhetoric overcome you
Whatever's said is relevant only when you
Consider who delivered in the moment. That's true

Stand still. Stand still
If you wanna believe you got's to stand still
Stand still
if you wanna believe
Stand still. Stand still
If you wanna believe you got to stand still
Stand still. Stand still

What is truth? A supposition with proof.
Poof! I'm something like a sleuth when I'm up in the booth
I mine text like a miner
My minds a tech nine kinda for sects having sex with a minor
The way I move when I rhyme is like you move with primer
I kinda move like a mime when I move behind ya
I'm like Tupac in his prime, sipping vodka and lime
Reclining by a clock, just watching the time
The seasons change. Some things seem temporary
I'm tempted to Terri every time the temperatures vary
To wait is the weight of Atlas
But bitch niggas to the weight of the world, unlatched it and made a mattress
But I'm something like a black pack made of matches
Grenades and Grenada patches made in Natchez
The lions lie in wait while the hunters pray to catch us
Always hunter and prey. Wackness! Fade to blackness

Stand still. Stand still
If you wanna believe you got's to stand still
Stand still
if you wanna believe
Stand still. Stand still
If you wanna believe you got to stand still
Stand still. Stand still
