Lyrics
before i thought inspiration came through pain,
millions of thoughts unheard,
brainwashed minds confused in a daze.
or maybe it's just the haze.
but i've learned too much,
and by that i mean that i've hurt too much,
i'm not your average,
been through struggle and now i have it.
i haven't started the struggle,
reality, i can't grasp it.
it's clamping up my heart,
the love is too little,
too miniscule to be seen,
too soft to be heard.
so i'm left with these words,
nobody wants to hear,
nobody wants to read,
so i'm left with these words,
i can't perform,
because they don't want to be heard.
they can't even be seen.
can you believe it?
it's just like dream,
deteriorated.
a dream defererd,
remember those words?
remember those books about the people who could fly?
old african folklores,
going to church when you actually prayed to the lord,
but the times are different.
women don't wear falsies any more,
they go out and let their low rise jeans stand as an open door.
it's different now,
times have changed,
my grandmother can't live without the internet for 2 days.
it's different now,
we're living in today,
social securities running low,
because all the 21 year old millionaires are retiring to million dollar homes,
and the president spent his occupancy trying to play Sherlock Holmes,
census.gov. . . the minority links?
when will America realize we're the majority that speaks,
because all i see is a whole bunch of brothers and sisters changing constantly,
while the rest of us rest and sleep,
crying for a change until we rest in peace,
because they tried to feed us cholestoral free recipes,
like injecting SARS to the people from Chinese delicacies,
all i asked for was some mangu or some bistec,
but all i got was a can you repeat what you just said?
imagine growing up like this,
you kind of learn,
as everyone does you have to extract yourself,
it's like a germ we all learn from,
and relocate to a different position.
and that's where the inspiration comes from,
like de la vega quotes on the block,
"become your dream",
that's something everybody wants,
and that's where the inspirations come from.
before i thought inspirations came from pain,
but i've learned they come from gain.
