I wanna write away
I wanna write here
I wanna write brave words to fight fear
Write dreams and nightmares
Might scare the folks stuck in the day
With nothing to say,
While I'm way ahead by light years
So beware and keep the lights on
I wanna write the songs that right the wrong
Right on
Riding the light so you see in the dark
So deep you gotta be still like your beating heart
My words apply the pressure to make the b
Evil Ways Lyrics
You've got to change your evil ways... baby Before I stop loving you. You've go to change... baby And every word that I say, it's true. You've got me running and hiding All over town. You've got me sneaking and peeping And running you down This can't go on... Lord knows you got to change... baby. When I come home... baby

I see the art, of living right, eating smart
I wanna right to life, a right to death
Police read your rights from right to left
But I never write to remain silent
I fight through police line
Cops walk the beat that I write to
I teach minds, write rhymes with the right sound
Right now, journalists write up
I write down
[Both] :Chorus
Party people put a hand in the sky
Grab a cloud and squeeze til no man is dry
We wet it up, go ask the people if they plannin to die
Can't stay to live, consumers is plannin to buy
Slow death operators is standing by
They take you order for the slaughter of the family why
Do they make it so hard for a man to provide

[Vinia Mojica]
And the story line goes on
Right to left, who's right who's wrong
Fuck the politics and pride
I just to try to stay alive
To witness where the battle lines are drawn
Speak my mind and sing my song
I'm passin on the moral y'all
This is ain't play
True, you got to know the way
It's hard now
Open eyes
See hopeful lives
Sing it now
[Kweli]
Making my way through life
Talking to elders and taking advice
Ignoring their words and paying the price
Living in the world where false preachers got us praying to christ
Get with the young girls in the choir and laying the pipe
No control of our soul we all wait at the
Recognize Lyrics
Wonderful lady Such a beautiful baby Gonna teach him what's wrong and what's right Gonna show him direction With love and affection Gonna make his connection in life But now things didn't go the way she thought they would He think's God is the devil and evil is good He probably wouldn't change it even if he could at all *CHORUS*<

So comfortable they we hating to fight to make it right
Late at night I'm controlled by the DJ on the mic
I love hip-hop and every joint he playing is tight
A day in the life is a brick in the foundation I'm like
A mason in Egypt amazing when I'm creating a site
For the world to behold and the story to last
So one day ghetto children can visit their glorious past
After Pac and Notorious passed, what do we have?
Niggas worth more when they dead, it's so sad
Started with the slavery we finish the plan
But I broke the cycle, and became a man
[Both] : Chorus
[Kweli]
Come on,
I got my man Savion in the house
We about to put it down
