ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT

"The Same People"

feat. Christine Elise, Kuf Knotz & Skyy High

Capitalism is so real
The same people that sell the sickness sell the pill
The pharmaceutical companies in cahoots with bad meals
The same people that sell the sickness sell the pill
And mainstream rap in cahoots with private jails
The same people that sell the sickness sell the pill
And mainstream religions, no facts just all feel - yeah
The same people that sell the sickness sell the pill
So what's up?

If your mind is a weapon then make sure that its loaded
And probably keep it on safety cuz the world is thought phobic
Politically correct no respect for the stoic
Such neglect for the steps of those reppin heroics
Someone steps up. A whistle blower fesses up
Lets protect the rights for them to do it, I can't stress it enough
'Cuz the 1% got a poker face lets call their bluff
Put their greed inside of a toilet, give me a royal flush!
Kings and Queens from red shades to Black spades
Back in the days we raised rap to jack thangs
CNN for Blacks P.E. Chuck D phrase
PRT to XClan to AD we gave our Flavor Flav
To tell the world behave we are no slaves
And while we dance, we'll take stands and part the waves
And part the seas give healthy thoughts to fight dis-ease
Show em hip hops strength Hercules, Hercules!

What's the solution when power's what their abusing
No more of this confusion, conclusion of the collisions...
Amusing how they portray us and try to use what we say
Then turn right around and try to mimic how we live everyday...
Now whats up with that? Take and give nothing back?
Well they put the dope off in our hood and blamed us for crack...
And look at em now, they giving us mask to cover up the masses
From something they produced in a lab, it's a disaster...
The world we all livin in is so cold
Hands high, don't shoot, got me kneeling on the floor...
While they're kneeling on my throat trying to overplay their role
Suspend the suspensions with pay and let em pay with their soul...
Lock us up but let them go? I'm demanding some understanding
Why is fast food so cheap but it cost to eat what is planted?...
Taking nothing for granted, this planet that we call home
We can call it a lot of things but can never call it our own! I'm gone!

Knowledge equality justice... Understanding
Power to the people the streets demand it
Fires be fueled by the unjust rules
Look universal law is to gather the tools
So many jewels- free ya self unlocked rage
Know the source free force let the energy rain
If you woke you done seen the turning of tides
Its nothing new but new clues gave birth to the rise
Blind eyes
Seeing light for the first
Bubbles burst
Broke curse
GOD spoke
Know why, worth...
The gold is tainted
Most times THINGS ARE NOT
As THEY seem
Once you realize
You're a threat to the regime
STAY FOCUSED
No hocus we exposing the frauds
Learning - as we kick open the door
They create the sickness
They create the cure
Thats how the rich is getting richer
They at war with the poor
Limited resource
Neighborhoods abused by force
Red lining humans dying its histories course
Facts hidden and lost
But divine intervention
Kept us marching - right on course
Wild rhythms deep wisdom in the spin of the record
Generations fought shine light on the skeptics
We see fakeness
Our intension is sacred
3rd eye wide exemplifying greatness whats up
