Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Leaving The Past
- They told me I would never make it, I would never achieve it
- Reality is nourishment, but people don't believe it
- I guess it's hard to stomach the truth like a bulimic
- It's a dirty game and nobody is willin' to clean it
- But this is for the paraplegic people dreamin' of runnin'
- Ladies married to men who don't please 'em, dreamin' of comin'
- Verbally murderous like David Berkowitz when I'm gunnin'
- Some cowards on the Internet didn't think I would sell
- Scared to talk shit in person 'cause they stuck in a shell
- And couldn't understand the pain of bein' stuck in a cell
- Hell is not a place you go if you're not a Christian
- It's the failure of your life's greatest ambition
- It's a bad decision to blindly follow any religion
- I don't see the difference in between the wrong and the wrong
- Soldiers emptyin' the clips at little kids and they moms
- Are just like a desperate motherfucker strapped to a bomb
- Humanity's gone, smoked up in a gravity bong
- By a Democrat Republican Cheech and Chong, you never heard me preach in a song
- I'm not controversial, I'm just speakin' the facts
- Put your hands in the air like you got the heat to your back
- And shake your body like a baby born addicted to crack
- And since life's a gamble like the craps tables at Vegas
- I freestyle my destiny, it's not written in pages
- I hate it when they tell us how far we came to be
- As if our people's history started with slavery
- Painfully I discovered the shit they kept us secret
- This is the exodus, like the black Jews out of Egypt
- I keep it reality based with the music I make
- Blow up the truth in your face with the style I run with
- Like the Navy missile that shot down Flight 800
- I'm like the Africans who came here before Colombus
- And from the 1500s until after the morrow
- I watched Latin America get raped in the sorrow
- You see, the Spaniards never left despues de Colon
- And if you don't believe me, you can click on Univision
- I never seen so much racism in all of my life
- Every program and newscaster, all of them white
- It's like apartheid with 10 percent rulin' the rest
- That type of stress will make me put the fuckin' tool to your chest
- Step in my way, nigga, I wouldn't wanna be ya
- I burn slow like pissin' drunk with gonorrhea
- I'll do a free show in North Korea, burnin' the flag
- While J. Edgar Hoover politicians dress up in drag
- Try to confuse you, makin' it hard to follow this:
- Capitalism and democracy are not synonymous
- You swallow propaganda like a birth control pill
- Sellin' your soul to the eye on the back of the dollar bill
- But that will never be me 'cause I'm leavin' the past
- Like an abused wife with the kids, leavin' your ass
- Like a drug addict clean and sober, leavin' the stash
- Unbreakable Technique, leavin' the plane crash
- I'm out with the black box and I refuse to return
- I spit reality instead of what you usually learn
- And I refuse to be concerned with condescendin' advice
- 'Cause I'm the only motherfucker that could change my life
- Some people think I won't make it, but I know that I will
- Escape the emptiness 'cause that shit is slow and it kills
- The flow and the skill, I made y'all believe that it last
- You can make the future, but it starts with leavin' the past
