The Wager - Silent Knight, 8thw1, Fresh Daily

Peace of mind’s the only thing worth killing for

Exhaust all options, be sure that there isn’t more

It’s the closest we can get to heaven in this lifetime

A quiet mind in an energized corpse

My homeboy getting closer to Christ

Studying the Gospel, at first I was hostile

«Religion's all bullshit, why do you try?»

With bags under his eyes he said, «Man, I got to

And if it’s not true it’s only through my view.»

So I well wished him and offered my assistance

Who am I to tell that man how to sleep?

I’m an MC, not a posturepedic physician

'Cause I don’t got the answers my damn self

Insanity and genius, I’m straddling the boarder

Like indecisive immigrants already missing home

But what could be, to not see would be torture

Forwards the only way to move

We backslide but don’t let them record you

And if so, own up

Don’t let 'em have your pride like, «Oooh, ah ha, look, man, I got you.»

Guilt, exercise through, trying to deny you with hopes to demise you

So if it’s the Bible or the Koran that keep you from killing a moron, I got you

We all here for survival

The life you live is the ultimate trial

I ain’t saying it’s not your world

Just remember that it’s mine, too

And you can’t hide, it’s gonna find you

And you can’t front, it’s behind you

I ain’t saying it’s not your world

But just remember that it’s mine, too

They say they want peace so bad they’ll make war for it

If that made sense to you then I’m all for it

If you like me, you see the flaw in the logic

Not the needle in the hay, don’t squint, it’s mad obvious

Terror situation is preposterous

Niggas dying on the front line is so monstrous

All that for oil, now look at the consequence

Holler at your Congress

They holler back, it’s all nonsense

TV be sounding like gibberish

Play a CD and they sounding so niggerish

Something kinda fishy like clitoris

Medicine lying in bed with big businesses

Can’t tell the difference between the cure and the sicknesses

Side effects worse than the shit you getting rid of, it’s ridiculous

I ain’t never claim to be deep in the politics

I can see plain you trying to feed me a pile of shit

We all here for survival

The life you live is the ultimate trial

I ain’t saying it’s not your world

But just remember that it’s mine, too

And you can’t hide, it’s gonna find you

And you can’t front, it’s behind you

I ain’t saying it’s not your world

But just remember that it’s mine, too

Peace God

Hotep shalam

As-salam alaykum, wa alaykum salam

That’s just a few examples of ways to respond

But we lose track and run away from the bomb

We got more in common then we’re led to believe

But hate mongers, go around and spread a disease

We stay in conflict, «He said he was better than me?

Okay, watch then, he gonna regret that speech.»

I’ve been in constant jeopardy since I can remember each

Year that passed by, still as lost as ever

Meanwhile looking better, he’s a Yogi

Last has Islam and Moseir caught the ghost

Monique whole fam know they plan

That don’t mean it work for me just 'cause it work for them

I can’t search for Zen, I let it find me

And finally be the change that I wanna see

You see

We all here for survival

The life you live is the ultimate trial

I ain’t saying it’s not your world

Just remember that it’s mine, too

And you can’t hide, it’s gonna find you

And you can’t front, it’s behind you

I ain’t saying it’s not your world

But just remember that it’s mine, too
