[Intro] ladies and gentle-ladies it is time for the congregation to rise with one voice and say.. [Verse 1] now bear witness to the metamorphosis that be getting your missus as wet as a swordfish is nah, forget about it, I already lost interest the truth is the truth and a metaphor isn't you're ready to four-fifth it but you already forfeited what would Cosby be like if he never lost Ennis? you don't really want it if we set it off in this so, just shut the fuck up and just let the god finish i'm climbing up the pedestal, no matter what they said to you and now you're wondering why they put a tiger in the petting zoo so tell all the promoters that are dyin' for some revenue your homie got it covered like Tobias like a never-nude but I ain't David Cross, I'm the kind of giant that crossed David and rock harder than what David tossed at him, I split that like Kit-Kats, and swim through pirhannas and shake 'em off [Hook] when time keeps slippin', and your mind's no different, stand up lil homie, you're part of the Khangregation whether Shalom aleikhem or A'Salaam Alaikum stand up lil homie, you're part of a Khangregation [Verse 2] so motherfuck who a problem, i'mma sun, moon and star 'em for the junk you've been talking, I'mm crush you to carbon decorated with the ladies 'cause I come chew the carpet a gentleman excelling in the "fuck you" department what the fuck you done started from that one room apartment? now this shit is too heavy for just one spool of Charmin words are a weapon, so I cut through the jargon if you reap what you sow, then I uproot the garden in other no novelty, I only rap well, and sing a little too, but I ain't no Maxwell a native of the land of the Manuels overworked and underpaid like I made what the Gap sells so stop talking down to those trying to break even or get thrown from the ring like Bobby the Brain Heenan money comes and goes but poverty ain't leavin' so if this is my job, there's gotta be great reason [Hook] [Outro] and thus concludes Chapter 1. Soul Khan, DJ Element welcome back to where you have always belonged

1: oh, you ain't loving them hoes it's obvious, though 'cause if you did, you wouldn't be calling them hoes i've had it up to my sack with those who hijack the image of a modern man who always got his wife's back i was made by my mother and raised by my mother so, if i love a woman then i say that i love her i mean, the audacity to say that we're tougher when a child comes out of them and they still recover when a man's afraid, i don't say he's a pussy it's 2011 and you ain't eating pussy? c'mon it's fun as fuck, just to see her coming, plus let her finish first, i don't mind being the runner-up after it's over, i'm grabbing her closer you're baffled, perhaps understand when you're older i act right, meaning never act like i own her 'cause that's what i'm supposed to do hook: oh god, it's such an honor just to be with you i even picked a real fucking raw beat for you if i made a club banger, it would make me stacks but i know you got a brain to match, not brain like that 2: i felt heartbreak that would make you cut up your wrists and learned the hard way, just 'bout any love is a risk see, it'll go hand-in-hand like a knuckle and fist but ain't a problem in the world that a punch gonna fix shit, women cheat and make us jealous a bit but that's like hearing the pot calling the kettle a dick it's childish, like some of y'all ain't never been kissed without it being just another step to legs getting split i was told i'm the center of her universe a level that a few reserve, but never sweated losing her you would think i'm lucifer, nah i wasn't grown enough wasn't even soul enough, back then i was noah with a shoulder shrug that flooded tear ducts in a worn-out eye i'd be like "cheer up, shorty, 'cause it's warm outside" couldn't fathom the agony 'til i brought out mine now what i've got's better than whatever more i'll find hook 2x

[Intro] Sha la la la la la Live for today [Verse 1: Soul Khan] I wake up, put the brush to my busted teeth Day one of these lucky luxuries Now I wake up whenever it comforts me Sit down on the train on a dusty seat Head into the city where they hustle, cheat Just to eat a more supple meat Why pay for the cow when the tongue's for free I'mma save the world so my first son can see Might find the door but never touch the key They get tricked by slick Mike Huckabee All my old ways now seeming dumb to me But you'd have probably done the same when you was young as me I'm taking every shot til the buzzer beeps And touching every base til I scuff my cleats Been nice since I was in dungarees So when it's all said and done, I'mma fuck and feast [Hook: Akie Bermiss] And we walk And we fall And we all Must live for today [Verse 2: Soul Khan] And I used to play with them little army men Until I really learned what an army meant Got fans that are uniform guardians And they all got family that longs for them I don't wanna hear another word from Barack Til he turns up the clock and brings them home They're needed more here Where the people don't fear the next moment something explodes And we're still torturing; damn, it feels fraudulent To lie that we more righteous than the people that we war against The audience is partying with all the best intoxicants As their fellow humans smell the fumes of dead and rotten flesh [Hook] [Verse 3: Soul Khan] So I go to sleep, then open each My eyes to find that no one seems To care about the slowly creeping Ocean sea that's growing deeper Oh, you just be hating Soul Cause they're too cold like that H2O Where the glaciers float Wait, wait, where'd the glaciers go? Never mind -- your brain's too slow Sorry if I'm not believing What you taught to stop the heathens And really, if there's karma Why did they leave Gandhi bleeding? I ain't trapped within the lines of any kind of palm you reading This is my life, and I'mma live it like I've always dreamed it [Hook] [Outro: Senator Paul Wellstone] My vision of a just society is that every person Every small child should have the same chance to reach their full potential To me, that's the American dream, that's the goodness of our country But we have still a fairly long ways to go For our country to really live up to that promise If we're gonna have the kind of change in our country That'll make the United States of America a better America I guarantee you, it's gonna be the results of much more grassroots politics Much more grassroots leadership development Much more of a voice from people from the neighborhoods and the community
