The Dualist

You know what's funny? I never thought it would happen dog

From smoking reefer and doing drugs in apartment halls

From living depressed, trapped inside of my bedroom walls

Forced to regret, karma had me gripped by my balls

Told you I was born a fucking zero

The cold world filled with pop culture but like a hero

Two paths, both of us choosing the one that's evil

The other path really not shiny and gold to people

So I try both

Artists like Van Gogh still rapping the gang though

Expanding my cash flow, I have to

Problem is, when the money take all control

You'd rather beside your soul, than keep your mind so enclosed

Then you turn on your TV loving reality shows

Take it literal, vicariously living in their world

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of all entertainment

But you gotta be basic to believe what they be sayin'

The news preach what's they favorite

The music we hear, its tasteless

The good shows come the latest

The primetime's fucking wasted

I'm trying to show you that all the things that we chase

This fake shit, it's cool to go obtain it, but keep your inner the greatest

The world is a planet that's dualistic in nature

The balance keep us debating

The vision, the devil's favorite

But if we take the time to see that we are the same

If we combine all the races, then we could become the greatest

And that’s why, if we come together: bring changes

And that's why, they gonna keep us all separated

Feed us lies, with they poison, they shit's contagious

And that's why, I be spreading love through the nation

Music be my oasis

But pain over power

Patience

Like which side to choose?

My mind confused

Product of figmentations

So easy to hear the whispers of Satan, them demons waitin'

Be easy, put on them brakes, don't be greedy

Turn to the pastor, he fiendin'

Now everything on the late

I move according to feelings

Cause that new order done caught us

Try to destroy our children

I sit and watch this little pot thinking to Pac

Speaking to God for some clearance

Within these times

Brought up in the trenches

Stepped through the doors of perception

Generation free your destiny if we don't balance the present

Every second, camera pressing

Enjoy the moments you blessed with

Instead of Instagram flexing, we all evolve, so don't sweat it

But honestly let's do better, just take one look in the mirror

We're gaining truth from the eras, to live for you, not your best

Don't overdo shit, just manage

No good comes without a challenge

So some haters trying to scavenge, cabbage stay up on your path, you valid

Take advantage of the times ahead

Stay planted right then, expand

Replenish the life within

Remember life don't come twice

So we living like its the end

I gamble life on both sides

Not truly I understand

But fuck it we all say and pretend

We want to fix shit then

Go pass a lone sole with no crib to live

And ain't got shit to give

Truth is, we all hypocrites

If we gonna handle our biz, gotta change how we exist

And that’s why, if we come together: bring changes

And that's why, they gonna keep us all separated

Feed us lies, with they poison, they shit's contagious

And that's why, I be spreading love through the nation

Dualism, got me trapped up in a prison

Still loving my women, still counting my chickens

See, I ain't that different, a nigga still caught in sinnin'

I'm just on a mission to change the way I've been livin'

The difference, is I'm going to keep negative out my system

I'm gifted, but still a crucial part of me missing

But I'm a believer that if we come to a union

It'll be easy to change all of the things we've been doing

Because we creatures just follow what everybody is choosing

So more people who do it, is sure to make a movement

And if we get into it, then fucker we not gonna lose it

The kids loving the music, I think that's how we gonna do it

Focused on my goals, can't change my modes

So clear the way, no cape

But chose to save the day, I roll the dro and then create

So much older, got my dough up and my dog, he do the same

Just use your brain, gain some knowledge

In your noggin', you a king

Pure sativa strains

Play acoustic when I am

Super lucid when I dream

Lucy, she my everything

See I'm living freely can't deceive me cause I know my lane

Gotta see things from both ways to get far up in this game, mane

Shout out to the pain

Always sun after the rain

When you wanna look back and see all my hard workin' go to waste

Leave your mark so the young can break

All the limits put on our race

Cause face it, we all spirits here livin' destined for greatness

And that’s why, if we come together: bring changes

And that's why, they gonna keep us all separated

Feed us lies, with they poison, they shit's contagious

And that's why, I be spreading love through the nation
