"Ten Steps Back"
(V1.)
Coming forth with more lyrical baggage,
Shit sandwich packed full of anguish/
I can't comprehend why people compromise,
slight & smite & bastardize language/
Get a hand get a grip it's simplistic,
Still you can't understand linguistics/
You illiterate kids with your gibberish bids,
legitimately build the statistics/
Looking in a book it's all blurred bitch,
Cooking no hooks just slurred myths/
while I spoke vocab & poke with low jabs,
Joke raps, blown back by the wordsmith/
Hammer on the grammar of the poorest,
Cleaning out ears like an aurist
Seen you scrawling on paper, please do us all a favour,
get a dictionary & a thesaurus/
(Chorus)
Take 1 step forward,
take 2 steps back,
Revert from tomorrow,
& rollback on the knowledge we lack/
Take 1 step forward,
take 10 steps back,
Revert from the work we built from the earth,
& throw dirt on the worth that we lack/
(V2.)
You gave them that good animosity,
But never understood technocracy
A probable cause, see em' bending some laws,
what you call to be flawed technology/
I see how far that we've come from,
You're still all marked with the humdrum/
Getting ripped to ribbons and chipped into smidgens
Simple feeding for the pigeons cos' you're dumb crumbs/
All on board with the sheep flock,
But can't even afford that cheap talk/
Cos' you're blowing all your ends on cellphones and trends,
And the 40 something different shelves of Reeboks/
When it comes to education you're a poor man,
I see you repping every colour of the Jordans/
Your point A to point B is your couch to your seat,
So put the peddle to the metal of your floor man/
(Chorus)
Take 1 step forward,
take 2 steps back,
Revert from tomorrow,
& rollback on the knowledge we lack/
Take 1 step forward,
take 10 steps back,
Revert from the work we built from the earth,
& throw dirt on the worth that we lack/
(V3.)
This is not the best part, all I see is less heart,
Eject, hit the reset, and lets get a fresh start/
The media lately, is baiting your day see,
I'm sitting back and watching everybody going crazy/
Sharks galore in a feeding frenzy, bleeding envy,
Believing everything they're reading & depleting plenty/
We keep it steady steaming, seeking for a life & reason,
Lean to reach achievements while demoralizing & demeaning/
Ain't got no street smarts,
No book smarts, just cheap arts/
I.Q. below 10, pretend you're better than your men,
spitting venom calling other people retards/
March along to view new net facts,
Soon we'll be zooming round' in jet packs/
Reverting from tomorrow, making future into horror,
moving forward while we're taking 10 steps back/ So...
(Chorus)
Take 1 step forward,
take 10 steps back,
Revert from the work we built from the earth,
& throw dirt on the worth that we lack/
