I've seen a monkey evolve into a man[00:00:00]

I've seen a man devolve into a monkey[00:00:03]

I've seen a junkie redeem himself with help[00:00:05]

I've seen a wealthy man melt into the snow[00:00:08]

And blow his credit on a decongestant[00:00:09]

The dyslexics breathe easy[00:00:11]

The people in the top tax bracket just keep looking for freebies[00:00:13]

Thumbing their noses at those in need of handouts[00:00:15]

I'm talkin' panhandlers with secondhand clothes living hand to mouth[00:00:18]

Camping out on Capitol Hill[00:00:21]

The fat cats are still insisting reparations be a jagged little pill[00:00:23]

Today there's free vaccinations at the walk-in clinic[00:00:26]

If you're lucky you won't just be a guinea pig[00:00:29]

Call me a cynic[00:00:32]

I find it interesting how certain epidemics spread[00:00:32]

More specifically – where they don't and who isn't affected[00:00:35]

Yeah I'm infected with a curious nature[00:00:37]

The welcome mat said "God bless this home [00:00:39]

" not "God damn thy neighbor"[00:00:42]

They can repeat history but can't recycle paper[00:00:43]

They don't see the forest or the trees just skyscrapers[00:00:45]

Towels of Babel in a town full of cattle[00:00:48]

When I question brand loyalty the crowd is bedazzled[00:00:50]

But I'll never be hoodwinked I'm mindful of the footprints[00:00:53]

The shape of the hoof the way the path in the wood splits[00:00:56]

The author of the book the origin of the crucifix[00:00:59]

The waitress looking for tips and the[00:01:01]

Place where the cook spits[00:01:03]

This is where I was when the bomb dropped[00:01:04]

Hiding from the uninvited onslaught[00:01:06]

I've seen people who don't believe in sleep count sheep[00:01:08]

With calculators that double as alarm clocks[00:01:11]

From Noah's Ark all the way to Rosa Parks[00:01:14]

To black folk pushing white agendas[00:01:17]

Inside of an office with flow charts[00:01:19]

Technology ain't shit we feed off the fruit[00:01:20]

When I stuff leaves of absence in my briefcase follow suit[00:01:22]

Spill the liquid from your double fisted escapade[00:01:25]

Kill kids with the drunken misfits in your Escalade[00:01:28]

It's gruel for the food fight and foreign aid[00:01:30]

Bream ‘em down and build ‘[00:01:33]

Em back up with what you throw away[00:01:35]

Administering band aids on amputated limbs[00:01:37]

Kissing ‘em with air raids and your lips gave ‘em infections[00:01:39]

Too many closed doors led to back drafts[00:01:41]

Now the spring edition of fashion catalogues feature gasmasks[00:01:43]

How becoming on these lanky models[00:01:47]

They can't look truth in the mirror without a pair of safety goggles[00:01:49]

Hold the bobble head insert the feeding tube[00:01:52]

Even if they stop breathing make sure they keep eating food[00:01:54]

Do the Schiavo[00:01:58]

Mouth opened wide like a perverse psycho circus side show[00:01:59]

Forgive me not my patterns stay impartial to apologies[00:02:02]

Despite a polite side of mine that says "I'm so sorry"[00:02:05]

Adding flame infinitum for your eternal fuel tank[00:02:08]

My higher power doesn't need to be thanked[00:02:10]

Thanks anyway that's from him to me to you[00:02:13]

I don't mind being the middle man [00:02:16]

Someday I might need one too[00:02:17]

I'm at the fire[00:02:21]

Where are you [00:02:23]

I'm at the fire[00:02:25]

Where the hell are you [00:02:27]

I've seen a man devolve into a monkey[00:02:29]

I've seen a monkey evolve into a man[00:02:32]

I've seen it all upside down in-between inside out[00:02:34]

It's neither here nor there hoofprints in the sand[00:02:37]

I've fallen head first into the pit of my stomach[00:02:40]

Taught to trust my gut got no trust in the gutless[00:02:43]

Save some hope for the hopeless but I won't show it[00:02:46]

Shoot my load in an opus now it's an open casket[00:02:49]

Going to Hades in a hand basket[00:02:51]

Holding onto a dream but lately we can't grasp it[00:02:53]

There's been too much murder and not enough martyr[00:02:55]

Why is it no one else wants to impress Jodie Foster [00:02:58]

I'm at the fire[00:03:02]

Where are you [00:03:03]

I'm at the fire[00:03:04]

Where are you [00:03:05]

I'm at the fire[00:03:07]

Where are you [00:03:08]

Where are you [00:03:09]

Where are you Where are you [00:03:10]

You can't have revolution without evolution huh [00:03:19]

You can't have evolution without velution huh [00:03:20]

You can't have velution without elution huh [00:03:23]

You can't have elution without lution huh [00:03:27]

You can't have lution without ution huh [00:03:30]

You can't have ution without tion huh [00:03:33]

You can't have tion without ion huh [00:03:37]

You can't have ion without on huh [00:03:41]

Seriously I know that you pray when the chips are down[00:03:45]

But act different when there are atheists around[00:03:48]

Have suspicions that make you think you'll drown[00:03:50]

All alone in the middle of a crowd[00:03:52]

I'd be a liar if I said I never had to beg[00:03:55]

Doubled over with my knees bent touching my head[00:03:57]

Stuck in a bed dealing with all of these evil visions[00:03:59]

Running from the dead in a fetal position[00:04:02]

Needing assistance from a nurse[00:04:04]

She said "Tell me where it hurts"[00:04:05]

These words are gonna make my belly burst[00:04:07]

So I mentally revert to all the enemies I've cursed[00:04:09]

Running through my memories in reverse[00:04:12]

I said bring that beat back man bring that beat back[00:04:13]

A flash ain't enough time for me to recap[00:04:17]

I'm a bastard sometimes don't think I don't see that[00:04:19]

Laughing at the dumb blind the deaf to the knee slaps[00:04:21]

Cracking punch lines for the sake of some green stacks[00:04:23]

Passion for the rhyme can be cheapened by feedback[00:04:25]

I shut my eyes and proceed to go dream catch[00:04:28]

But a troubled mind can't seem to fall asleep fast[00:04:30]

I cut my ties like the way that a fiend acts[00:04:33]

Go into overdrive and get caught in a speed trap[00:04:35]
