Lyrical Assassin

Do we learn math to add the dead's sum??
Subtract the weak ones, count cash for great ones??
Shall we multiply or divide the nation??
Break down like fractions, Send our sons away to die??

Do we learn science in defiance of faith??
To make alliance with fakes for an appliance's sake..
We ask for the real but make artificial intelligence..
To make smarter kills of other's presidents..

Why do we learn history to make stories for the guilty??
The angels look filthy and the devils look milky..
If the victor writes the books, then what have we won??
Are we battleships for authorship for rich man's guns??

Do we learn to read to receive the lies??
To deceive the eyes from seeing between the lines??
Do we use words to bring forth sticks and stones??
To sing psalms of hate that fill the streets with bones..

Unseen or heard..
A Princess with words,
April,
Lyrical Assassin..
Makin' visions from the truth..

Is our day job more than self-slavery??
When we're locked watching the clock impatiently..
We sweat for the dollar bills, the checks and the credit cards..
But the dollar kills, breaks the necks of our inner hearts..

If the police are role models for the righteous,
Why does justice depend on guns and nightsticks??
Mr. Officer don't punish me, with BRUTALITY!!

These streets got me singing Marvin Gaye off-key..

Do we need church to get to Heaven's gates??
Can holy water quench the thirst of those whose fates,

Started in the wrong place with the wrong face??
Can the poor and the hungry survive solely on grace??

Can this rap game ever bring changes??
When MC's would rather floss a cross than be saviors??
Will I last in this game, be blasted with shame..
Will I stand for my name and never blaspheme for fame? ?
