Cilvaringz - Jewels lyrics

rate me

(feat. GZA/Genius, Dorona Alberti)

[Intro: George W. Bush sample]

In my State of the, my State of the Union

Or State... my speech to the... nation

Whatever you wanna call it, my speech to the nation...

(So let me drop it on you, this what I speak, I only speak

To teach what they can't teach)

[Cilvaringz:]

Aiyo, pardon me Jacob, but let me school these fools

And turn up the heat, melt their cool with jewels

I gave, poems for rules, draped morals and epics

Spoke with dumb, deaf & blind, wise Pagans and kept it

Then watched them fake preachers panic, cuz they food for thought

Got pesticides, but mine is organic

I got to stimulate their brain system

Wrong of the light for great wisdom, hear me?

Health & school systems? Your soul that rock

Cuz of Cuba, it's all free to stay alive

That's why we love Castro and love Yugo

That's why we know so much more shit than you know

Oh Indian land, home of the brave

Where great soldiers bring democracy for the wide blue grave

Oh Indian land, home of the grave

And great culture fast food, and Guantanamo Bay

I saw God's work privatized, I saw graving images idolized

I saw, young girls sodomized, tears dropping down my mama's eyes

But when you stand before God, it's too late to apoligize

And I can go on and on with this

But got to go speak to my people first

Cuz it hurts to see Christians, Athiests, Jews

Treat me better than my own Muslim brothers do

Live professors, ain't even living out the lessons

And I ain't talking bout your Five Percenters

I'm talking bout your faces turn to Heidi Klum, cash and bums

But what about the thirteen ninety ones

Where mighty gun, your brothers fight against with little rocks

Or socialism battling the Bill from Little Rock

Riddles stop with the words I speak; listen

I never teach, I drop words to seek, so get 'em

See got your Google, but stay truthful

I'm in the cut, Chessboxing Noodles

Cutting this struddle, laughing at George

[Interlude: George W. Bush sample]

It'll take that, to destroy chaos

Poor people aren't necessarily killers

Are we gonna raise kids, without knowing we have a gun?

[Chorus x2: GZA]

The world is filled with chaos and nonsense

Gets no better, with negative responses

The chain of events, creates a global effect

Killing for dollars and cents, to get local respect

The magnitude of the destruction, untold

Countless souls, after the drama, unfolds

Time is a terrible, thing to waste

So the mind must think, at a peaceful pace

[Hook x2: Cilvaringz]

Time is a terrible, thing to waste

So the mind must think, at a peaceful pace

[Outro: George W. Bush sample]

I know what I believe

I will continue to articulate what I believe

And what I believe, and I believe what I believe is right
