Mind Games - K.A.A.N.

Eh, uh huh

Lawd, Knowledge

Uh huh, eh

Off with they heads again

Lost my philosophy

Blood from the guillotine drips causing a shallow puddle

Watch it trickle down to the gutter to please the peons

Going inside a cluster of thoughts, they all negative

My attention span isn’t vast, it’s vague and vulnerable, yes

I feel the test of character, I can’t continue to fall

These passages passing judgement like relics wrote 'em theyselves

Religious leaders and hypocritical seekers that read a chapter and only take

from what they can gain

My frame of mind is fine in sanctity, it’s sheltered from hate

I state the obvious for some, I feel like most can’t relate

Embrace the pain I took from solitude like love to the youth

I get in the booth, I’m moving and getting

I said that I’m searching for truth, living aloof

So why are you looking confused?

I do whatever I choose

I’ve been aware of the consequences and the repercussions

Complicated cousins I will cut 'em off

I am self efficient so it’s fuck 'em all

And if it ain’t about you then don’t get involved

I am working to make it all possible

I can overcome the obstacles

No one is living this life but me

Story like I’m Mephistopheles

I wanna sit for a second

I don’t think anyone listen

Taking a moment, I’m making 'em realize that it’s my time and I want it all

For the simple fact I’m on another level

People talk but they ain’t really ready

I could give a fuck about a failure

Never sorry and I tried to tell ya

Confidence, that shit can get ya killed

Death in dozens over dollar bills

Shit get realer when the rent is due

Anything for you to make it through

Destitution ain’t a fucking option, it’s a fucking problem, I’ma find the answer

You pedantic with your pessimism

Do revision on your attitude

Motivated, tryna make it happen

This life’s a game but I like to play it

Satanic forces wanna hold me back

But I been focused on a holy land

Like a resurrection out of Nazareth

And I’m a labyrinth with this rapping shit

I been maximizing all my potential

Like expose a loss and don’t show a win

But I chose to live with my list of sins

If you listening, I make it obvious

I can’t contradict for no dollar sign

I don’t feel connected to a net worth

So I keep pushing and I hope it works

I feel like I’m running in place, nowhere to escape

I’m stuck in a vigorous chase

Illicitly setting the tempo and pace

I never settle for less, expressing emotions I used to repress

The lyrical fashion in which I confessed

I fight for my sanity, I will contest

But nevertheless, I’m working, admitting my stress

Finding a way to relate, these people are fake

They giving me hate like a fade

As though I should pay attention, you don’t get a mention

Measure me by the man that I am

A nigga that’s playing his hand

do this shit without no help

pushing limits

Putting my all into every sentence

Sanctified by the all mighty

Very focused is the way you find me

Meeker man’ll give a pissed opinion

Bitter life, I creative

Innovative boy to say the least

I’ve been a fucking beast, I’m off the fucking leash

But I will not retreat, I don’t care for it

I accepted the life that I chose so I stay composed

But niggas ain’t feeling me tho'

Lawd

Knowledge, nigga

Dave West on the beat

Uh huh, uh huh, lawd, eh
