Testo Van Gough

This is you
This is real
Listen here
Listen here, my friend
Listen here
Listen here
Listen here, my friend
Listen here
Yeah, the black Rolls on the concrete
Devil's ducking and hiding when the god speak
The snub knows that you from a long reach
Build on that essence, that master Farah teaches
And all hail the congregations
And how we change the world off a simple conversation
My mind is like a pyramid that shines through observation
I'm steady getting higher than a star's constellation
Young, mama told me there'll be days like this
So I just sit and reminisce while I blaze my spliff
I feel the joy in my heart but the pain exists
Bow my head for you be looting and just raise my fists, you see
And power to the people 'cause we lost
And power to the pussy 'cause it cost Now niggas rather fight than floss
I'd rather bust shots at my boss
The thought I'd make a dividend
Robs you of your innocence
Raised in the ignorance, diploma a death certificate
Yeah, are you a soldier or a sample?
You listen, I get my ear like I'm van Gogh

Are you listening to me?
You listening now?
You listening now?
Are your eardrums open?
Listen here, my friend
Listen here
Did I get your attention undivided?
Are you listening to me?
You listening now?
You listening now?
Are your eardrums open?
Listen here, my friend
Listen here
Did I get your attention undivided?

Listen here youngin', yell in the air
When I've been gone you tryna reach, I wanna interfere
So you ain't listening, I said I wanna interfere
Just for a moment in time while my vision is clear
The say the sound of the time saying the ending is near
How many times we gonna believe it? Remember the year?
1999 then it was 2012
Yeah, they conspiring but why you let your mind dwell?
Stand reminded but we can't control what time tells
So do your time's tables, express yourself
'Cause many died tryna get us to this time
Well, it ain't perfect but we ain't in line
We shall overcome, who would've knew?
The fact I'm saying that today is proof
I feel what they meant through the civil rights move
When I write pray I send the right message to the youth
They saying do the right thing, I'm saying let 'em choose
And tell 'em stay surrounded by the ones who better you
'Cause it's temptation every day and they facing it
It ain't 'bout the bigger picture, it's who you paint it with

Are you listening to me?
You listening now?
You listening now?
Are your eardrums open?
Listen here, my friend
Listen here
Did I get your attention undivided?
Are you listening to me?
You listening now?
You listening now?
Are your eardrums open?
Listen here, my friend
Listen here
Did I get your attention undivided?

This is you
This is real
