[Intro]
Uh-huh ey, yes lawd, Knowledge nigga, uh-huh
We gonna do something a little different we gonna take it back, look one time for ya, one time for ya
[Chorus]
Look, we gotta give them something they can feel, make it real
Yo we gotta give them something they can feel, make it real
Yo we gotta give them something they can feel make it real
We prefer to tell the truth and never keep it concealed
[Hook]
Look, if you knew, like I knew, then you do like I do
Told them the sound was real don't ever get it confused
Yo, we gotta give them something they can feel, make it real
Yo, we gotta give them something they can feel, make it real
[Verse 1: K.A.A.N.]
Now I reiterate myself on this paper, promise to tell the truth
I'm ignoring distractions, in fact I'm finally focused
I found a flow I can go with, engulfing all your attention
My time is spent with the music, right now I'm truly invested
Been tested by my environment, priorly by proprietors
Profitizing from pain, its impossible to be positive
Looking for inspiration amongst a line of obscurity
Worries me I don't see any empathy, common courtesy
Currently a priority, purposely we're avoiding it
Try to voice my opinion, but fuck it, I'm just a hypocrite
Depicted different situations some people relate to
I came through my mind-state
Was make sure my rhyme's straight
I can't take no time off
I don't deal with BS
I won't live with regrets
I detest
I'm too stressed
They giving you negative vibes, they barely try
I said that we living to die
It's never the way that it seems
They selling their soul in return for a dream
[Bridge]
Am I different? Nigga yes I am
But am I gifted? Nigga yes I am
And do y'all feel this? Nigga yes we can
And I'm the dopest motherfucker lemme say it again
And I'm the dopest motherfucker lemme say it again
[Verse 2: K.A.A.N.]
I take my time when I am writing this
Enlighten you with consciousness
I like to think they get the point I make is positivity
The power I posses is in my pen is unequivocally
The sentences I formulate inspired by my misery
Literally terrified, when I die no one will remember me
The only thought I have inside my mind is leave a legacy
Before I perish and they find me near the Devil's mezzanine
Underneath a sub-scaffold and next to 24 buildings
With double sided partitions
Imported beautiful pews
And the view is fucking amazing
And now I can actually rest
Been obsessing over my death since the moment of my conception
Kept everything inside of me
Going insane silently
A victim of circumstances
But never of society
I sit, proceed to ponder, how am I able to sleep at night?
When I'm not even where I wanna be, at least within my life
Giving you my motivation, no hesitation, isn't it really amazing?
[Chorus]
I said we gotta give them something they can feel, make it real
Yo we gotta give them something they can feel make it real
Yo we gotta give them something they can feel make it real. We prefer to tell the truth and never keep it concealed
[Hook]
Look, if you knew, like I knew, then you do like I do
Told you the sound was real don't ever get it confused
Yo we gotta give them something they can feel, make it real
Yo we gotta give them something they can feel, make it real
[Verse 3]
Look at the plight of my people, they force us to deal with politics
Feeling deeply effected, they treat us like an infection
Elimination of knowledge, abundancy of our vices
And we're ingesting the poison we're given, leaving us lifeless
No talk of a revolution cause niggas are too complacent
I feel a sense of disgust when I look at my generation
There's actually inequality within these different races
If you're black, your interaction with police is confrontation
But you act like this brutality has not happened for ages
There ain't no turning of pages, instead I'm setting the scene
Out in Texas they'll fucking murder you for traffic infractions
Violating your civil liberties and all of your rights
If you don't understand the law then you can call it a night
Getting harassed, thrown on your ass, and then they taking your life
But this reality is feeling very nightmare-like
I said it's all the same thing from Sandra to Rodney King
[Chorus]
I said we gotta give them something they can feel, make it real
Yo we gotta give them something they can feel, make it real
Yo we gotta give them something they can feel, make it real
We prefer to tell the truth and never keep it concealed
[Outro]
Now am I different? Nigga yes I am
But am I gifted? Nigga yes I am
And do y'all feel this? Nigga yes we can
And I'm the dopest motherfucker lemme say it again. Lord, eh
