[Verse 1]
Never belonged, never fit in
Case study of an unwilling rebel since I was ten
The more I follow the game, the more I'm feeling resentful
And only doing records with those I'm making sense to

They say they're finding profundity in the simple
Meritless tough talk over clunky instrumentals
Talking of whores, inane are the rhymes
When they say times change, who was changing the times?

I walk the city in plain clothes, deflect eyes
But freeze a crowd with a mic in hand, I wreck live
The gaze is scanning the room and I dissect guys
I can tell the hand of a man just by his bet size

A modern mind with an old school demeanor
A man first, yet I don't have to show you the penis
Cause this ain't no debate between Republicans
Until you find some dirt on my name, you say you're not convinced

But that's just common sense, I'm more into the rare sense
In it for the long haul; back tees, rear pins
And I don't argue with you daffodils
You'd build a better resumÈ if you had the skills
And Erik Jackson's still...



[Verse 2]
Soft words turn to shots when bare minimum's gone
Freedom of choice clearly shows the Merovingian's wrong
Give a man privileges without instilling discipline
You will see how fast the savage's coming out of a gentleman

In response, treacherous thoughts fester, a coarse gesture
Was made, time to put some wet work before pleasure
I kept it civil for years, no confrontations
Remembering taunts verbatim, still chose to let it slide

Retreated to the dark, where noone's challenging pride
By my return, they just forgot who I was, I didn't mind
Time flies and eradicates bonds left unattended
Folks haven't heard me rhyme, but my bars haven't diminished

That's the thing, they don't see you, then they don't believe you
Yeah, we both got a voice, but our hearts just aren't equal
On my tenth project out, and my blade remains sharpened
I build a web spanning the globe to stay sovereign
And that's why Conca's been...


[Verse 3]
How true is, the fact we're born altruists?
When all we consider is money when the mouth's moving
We're still slaves to an illusion, we trade in delusions
On scales growing in size with age, problems persist

Technology has us talking about how times have changed
When kids quit on education to be lottery picks
What states spend on education is a mockery when
We factor in what they spend on killing opposite twins

Often caught in between, extremes, and it seems
People weren't happy when I wouldn't hop off the fence
Been the Devil's advocate for the longest, they try to
Find my weak spot, I'll just reinforce wherever I'm strongest

So you'll attack there cause that's a crucial flaw in your logic
But back to the point, if all it takes is cash to annoint
Any given man or woman, you do understand
You base your livelihood on the money you put in their hands
And there's a really fat chance they'll be...
