I ain't the captain of the yacht, but I'm on the boat; I ain't acting what I'm not, knowing that I don't. You niggaz acting like you will, but I know you won't. Man, I read between the lines of the eyes of your brows, Your handshake ain't matchin your smile.

I walk with the Wu-Tang.

Whether chocolate or vanilla, or you're somewhere in between,
A cappuccino mocha or a caramel queen,
Rejected by the black, not accepted by the white world,
And this is dedicated to them dark-skinned white girls.

'You claim to be the man, you want me for a lover,
So you can do my girlfriends and my sister and my mother?'

'So whassup with your mother, does she look as good as you?'

Cloned chickens walking around without heads,
The food is contaminated, the water got lead in it.
Population control, make the babies sick,
All these RFID chips, RU-486...
This is a war against consciousness,
Controlling your soul, sort of a psychological dictatorship.
And we are on the front lines,
Guilty as charged if intellect is a crime.

With the gun in the palm of the hand,
What couldn't I demand?

You know them days you just got the blues,
All stressed and depressed from just watchin' the news?
No matter what good you do, it seems you always get screwed.
Got you caught up in your feelings, now you off in the mood.
Shake that attitude and do what you can,
Set a couple goals, follow through with your plans.
Time waits for no man and tomorrow's not promised,
So if she's still alive, shoot a call to your mama.
Cause the fighting and the drama, it's just not worth it,
Nobody's perfect, ain't none of us worthless.
We all got a place, and we all got a purpose.

Then froze, only to blow the herb smoke through my nose.
