Verse 3:
Aiyyo,
prosperity endangered so many of us
all the bullshit has got away with murder

and who bit off the last nigga tape stole his state

the devil inside of him
tricknology is in one hand
futureand's so far to see
the presentand's how will it be
the past donand't even ask just believe
looking in the dictionary
trying to spell out hard words
define and'em and design and'em
i shine and curve
take this jewel in and conquer me
i blend it in wit ganja
not for the babies itand's a mind sponsor
from the 17 million god raised
2 million lost slaved
19 million may we all praise
so when we wake up
letand's straighten up and get it together
for real and keep all getting paper
Hook
Do what you want iand'm still gonand' live my life
