Things I've Seen - Spooks

You won’t believe the things I’ve seen

Far beyond your wildest dreams

I’ve seen chaos and order reign supreme

I’ve seen the beauty of the uni-

-verse so peaceful and serene

In seconds turn to violence and screams

I’ve seen true genius, too often elude the meaningless

Appreciation of this mediocre nation

I’ve heard the mindless repetition, of empty words without tradition

Turn original verbs into submission

I smelled this malignerance addiction, but I guess I wouldn’t be right

If I said the blunt was like a baby pipe

THERE AIN’T GON' BE NO REVOLUTION TONIGHT

Half my warriors as high as a kite

Lost and they lost all they fight

And I’ve tasted, the bitter tragedy of lives wasted

And men who glimpsed the darkness inside, but never faced it

And it’s a shame that most of y’all are followin sheep

Wallowin deeper than the darkness, you’re fallin asleep

Chorus One

I’ve seen and experienced things

That’ll push the average to the edge and swan dive to death

I’m two guys, multiplied by ninety-three guys

Evenly balanced seein evil equally in each eye now

Maybe I’m the most thorough worker on the job to you

Or maybe I’m the one, who was plottin to rob you

The fear of this beatdown, no women or no cash to floss

Makes most of y’all hustle ya ass off

From nothin to two mill', in five years I’ll live to see it

Vanish in six months, with no tears believe it

I’ll rock, twenty-eight years before the Feds can lay a trace

See they plan is to erase me, just to replace me

Chorus Two: Ming Xia

LIKE, your heart is warring with your brain

Emotional or reason, now which one do you obey?

LIKE, somebody callin you insane

When overwhelmed and blessed, bursting tears of happiness

Yo, yo, I’ve seen relationships that’s so sick

Life long friendships so cha-o-tic

Thug cat bangin his chick but won’t kiss

Drinkin her spit, when coppin a fix for dope bliss

I got a knife and a bat, to bust your brain, put the knife in your back

Once in the Life I was trifling like that

Like my man Troy, who lost his days

Shootin dice on worldly ways

And ended up in a early grave

Because once in a lifetime is rough

Twice in a lifetime you combat the ghosts of mistrust

Mentally cuffed, thrust by a cop thinkin he tough

You bust, Amadou Diallo is us, and what

Now I’m on my knees, beggin GOD PLEASE

SAVE ME FROM THE FIRES OF HELL

LET WATER WATER SOUL PREVAIL — cause I can’t take no more

Who’s that knockin, at, my door?

Is that you, Pete from Cobb’s Creek, who died in his sleep?

We was playin for fun, now it’s keeps

Like my man Mark I beat to death wrapped in a carpet

And left in the garbage, damn now that’s cold-hearted

Ask Book he saw it, «Yo black I ain’t seen shit!

Kids in the 6, they flip for nonsense»

Poke an icepick, smokin that sniff, coke to preschool fool

And packin a tool, fuck you Mom Dukes it’s cool
