DJ Shadow - Seein' Thangs lyrics

rate me

(feat. David Banner)

[Verse 1:]

I hear voices whisper tell me, "Banner kill yo'self"

Man I call on the Lord, pain doesn't easy from wealth

These cars, these clothes, these hoes

Never meant nothin, havin nightmares screamin and busting

At my enemy, I put a bullet in that nigga and I see it's me

Is it my soul?, killing self hate

Or does that nigga in me have to die before I reach them pearly gates

Either way I got somthin to say

Jam Master Jay used to yell walk this way

But it's hard to walk like a man the industry's ..

And these the same motherfuckers thats controlin my cash'

And the same ones, the government, controllin yo ass

Why George bush ain't in jail for stealin them votes?

Why the CIA ain't closed man, for pushin that dope?

Get it crackin America, the CIA, aka the KKK

It's judgement day!

[Chorus:]

Seein, seein thangs, I can swear that I'm seein thangs

Seein, seein thangs, I can swear that I'm seein thangs

Seein, seein thangs, I can swear that I'm seein thangs

They comin' for ya soul, they already got the chains [2X]

[Verse 2:]

In a Chevy, I'm wondering if the Feds broke the levy

Are they in with the devil to control the weather?

Hurricanes and typhoons every other week

While po' folks are drowning in the middle of the street

We too scared to speak, or too busy on the internet

I heard they about to put lo-jacks in our kids necks

Marshall law, tell Bush naw we ain't ready to flip

The hood is like a modern slave ship

We packed like sardines and shackled to the streets

And crack is cotton that grows up from the concrete

Shit, but I guess I'm seein thangs

We'd rather not learn, we'd rather fuckin gang bang

[Chorus]
