lyrics

Educatin’ my mind
Keep my tongue on a leash
Disciplinin’ my passion to listen before I speak
It’s been hot for a minute and I been feelin’ the heat
Trying to speak with love but patience is growin’ weak
Evil is growin’ strong
And every word is a bomb
And even when I be careful the haters be sayin’
WRONG
OK, I guess we fightin’
I was tryin’ to be civil but you comin’ at me crooked
I’m about to keep it rizzle
Won’t make it any better but it’s gonna feel great
when I flex my intellect and put your stupid on display
Oh Laaawd I need to pray
Venom in my poetry
Death and life is in the tongue
Oratin’ a killin’ spree
I’m heavy with the speech
Always been my greatest skill
I’m heavy with the speech
Always my Achilles heel
I’m ready for the beef
I’ll roast all ya bull
But the wise stay quiet in the presence of a fool

Let ‘em talk
The foolish run they mouth all night all noon all day
Let ‘em talk
Be wise and tune them out, just close your eyes and pray
Let ‘em talk
Be slow to speak and when you do, don’t be afraid
Let ‘em talk
The simple truth will cut through hate like razor blade
Like razor blade

I don’t believe my actions
speak louder than my words
With hand-crafted diction entire sentence is a verb
In other words, our words are actions too
Will you speak the truth or react and spew
Gotta choose when to stay quiet and swallow your pride
When to yell like a fool that the roof is on fire
Best believe there’s a time when you gotta do both
Don’t argue with disbelievers who deny the smoke
Betta ring the alarm for the ones who don’t know
I’ma scream out the truth till I got a sore throat
Hold my tongue when we win
Jesus don’t let me gloat
‘Cause my God get no pleasure in the death of a fool

Let ‘em talk
The foolish run they mouth all night all noon all day
Let ‘em talk
Be wise and tune them out just close your eyes and pray
Let ‘em talk
Be slow to speak and when you do don’t be afraid
Let ‘em talk
The simple truth will cut through hate like razor blade
Like razor blade
