Текст песни Thieves In The Night

Give me the fortune, keep the fame, said my man louis I agreed, know what he mean because we live the truest lie I asked him why we follow the law of the bluest eye He looked at me, he thought about it Was like, Im clueless, why? The question was rhetorical, the answer is horrible Our morals are out of place and got our lives full of sorrow And so tomorrow comin later than usual Waitin on someone to pity us While we findin beauty in the hideous They say moneys the root of all evil but I cant tell Youknowhatimean, pesos, francs, yens, cowrie shells, dollar bills Or is it the mindstate thats ill? Creating crime rates to fill the new prisons they build Over money and religion theres more blood to spill The wounds of slaves in cotton fields that never heal Whats the deal? A lot of cats who buy records are straight broke But my language universal they be recitin my quotes While r&b singers hit bad notes, we rock the boat Of thought, that my man louis statements just provoked Caught up, in conversations of our personal worth Brought up, through endangered species status on the planet earth Survival tactics means, bustin gats to prove you hard Your firearms are too short to box with god Without faith, all of that is illusionary Raise my son, no vindication of manhood necessary [m.d.] not strong [t.k.] only aggressive [m.d.] not free [t.k.] we only licensed [m.d.] not compassioniate, only polite [t.k.] now who the nicest? [m.d.] not good but well behaved [t.k.] chasin after death So we can call ourselves brave? [m.d.] still livin like mental slaves [both] hidin like thieves in the night from life Illusions of oasis makin you look twice [both] hidin like thieves in the night from life Illusions of oasis makin you look twice [mos def] Yo, Im sure that everbody out listenin agree That everything you see aint really how it be A lot of jokers out runnin in place, chasin the style Be a lot goin on beneath the empty smile Most cats in my area be lovin the hysteria Synthesized surface conceals the interior America, land of opportunity, mirages and camoflauges More than usually -- speakin loudly, sayin nothin You confusin me, you losin me Your game is twisted, want me enlisted -- in your usary Foolishly, most men join the ranks cluelessly Buffoonishly accept the deception, believe the perception Reflection rarely seen across the surface of the lookin glass Walkin the street, wonderin who they be lookin past Lookin gassed with them imported designer shades on Stars shine bright, but the light -- rarely stays on Same song, just remixed, different arrangement Put you on a yacht but they wont call it a slaveship Strangeness, you dont control this, you barely hold this Screamin brand new, when they just sanitized the old shit Suppose its, just another clever jedi mind trick That they been runnin across stars through all the time with I find its distressin, theres never no in-between We either niggaz or kings We either bitches or queens The deadly ritual seems immersed, in the perverse Full of short attention spans, short tempers, and short skirts Long barrel automatics released in short bursts The length of black life is treated with short worth Get yours first, them other niggaz secondary That type of illin that be fillin up the cemetary This life is temporary but the soul is eternal Separate the real from the lie, let me learn you Not strong, only aggressive, cause the power aint directed Thats why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive Not free, we only licensed Not live, we just excitin Cause the captors.. own the masters.. to what we writin Not compassionate, only polite, we well trained Our sinceritys rehearsed in stage, its just a game Not good, but well behaved cause the ca-me-ra survey Most of the things that we think, do, or say We chasin after death just
