[00:33.98]The way I feel sometimes it's too hard to sit still
[00:37.40]Things are so passionate,times are so real
[00:39.95]Sometimes I try an chill mellow down blowin' smoke
[00:42.63]Smile on my face but it's really no joke
[00:45.28]You feel it in the streets, the people breathe without hope
[00:47.86]They goin' through the motion, they dimmin' down, they focus
[00:50.46]The focus gettin' clear and the light turn sharp
[00:52.95]And the eyes go teary, the mind grow weary
[00:55.42]I speak it so clearly, sometimes ya don't hear me
[00:58.11]I push it past the bass, no nations gotta feel me
[01:00.68]I feel it in my bones, black,I'm so wide awake
[01:03.20]That I hardly ever sleep, my flows forever deep
[01:05.72]And it's volumes or scriptures when I breath on a beat
[01:08.31]My presence speak volumes before I say a word
[01:10.99]I'm everywhere, penthouse, pavement and curb
[01:13.75]Cradle to the grave, talk'll lead you on a shell
[01:16.27]Universal ghetto life holla black, you know it well
[01:18.70]Quiet storm, vital form pen pushed it right across
[01:21.42]Mind is a vital force, high level right across
[01:24.20]Shoulders the lions raw voice is the siren
[01:26.66]I swing round, ring out and bring down the tyrant
[01:29.11]Shocked, a small act could knock a giant lopsided
[01:31.76]The world is so dangerous, there's no need for frightenin’
[01:34.31]Suttins tryna hide like the struggle won't find 'em
[01:37.60]And the sun bust through the clouds to clearly remind him
[01:39.45]Everywhere, penthouse, pavement and curb
[01:42.22]Cradle to the grave, talk'll lead you on a shell
