People be mad at every word I say. I rather have your own logic on replay. These people I evade makes no sense as I restate. People be acting hard these days. I rather throw a grenade as people sacrifice my vision like christ. I guess some people pay the price for your actions tonight. People don't unite. You argue left and right. I need my graphite. The only thing that dosen't snap my spine. I rather be back in a lifeline. People be so intrested in killers like they be one. People put music on rerun. I need my freedom. I need to build my own kingdom. My death will bring back peace as my vision erupts. Your not human if this dosen' t sink us. The vision splits when music dosen't link up. People put thier drink up. I was to busy trying to avoid geting inked up. You never dedicated yourself to writing. You never walk under rain and lightning. I have the answers because I pay attention to detail. People want retail. Why you mad because I prevail. People don't read mail. They are mad because I'm a male. Anger sails. I rather wind up in jail. I rather stay for something I am. This is where I stand. You forgot my facts. I walk by tracks. You hate my status and don't have my back. My knowledge has been hijacked. Hackers may bypass. Why do you think smart people are strapped? People are greedy and start gats. The gun don't make the man. The gat don't make you strapped. Why do you think I advance? I have flashbacks where people stole my time and fam fast. History repeats misery. My inner me wants to be greedy like you delivery. Why deliver me? We supposed to make a difference like martin luther king. We supposed to be a pacifist like christ. We supposed to bring back the lost in your eyes. Theirs a thousands humans whos going to rise. This is round is going to end my fight. You should let go of anger inside. Christ stands for cry and storyline. Two word in one. When are couples going to unite? Am I rude or are you too nice? Even if your atheist tell me I am not right. When people go to funerals don't they remember your storyline and cry. Rememberance itself is pain. We need change. The lost needs fame. Even death has picture frames. When the liquor fades how will you be remembered or am I insane?

I *really* enjoyed that Eardrum album.
Love Kweli
Why does not have million viewss?
Because no b**ches in the video and he didn't have 83 guns or a money phone and he wasn't promoting molly, X, or lean
cause not everybody wanna be delivered yet ,)
Because this is not what people want to hear. He made it for the people who would appreciate it. For that I'm thankful 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
That’s what I was thinking to.
Eardrum was massive..still jammin the tune
