Feeling intoxicated liquor filled basements
Times wasted, These lies are patient
These lines come together
More precise than a knife
More like a scalpel
I grapple with reality
Bcuz it slips through my mind
And shouts at me
Mad Dogs let the chains loose
Its a 20/20 chance  
I could change you
Change is natural
Thats what your brain'll do

If you think your is pain great,

And your anguish is too strong.

If you think you don't have

What you need to go on.

If you think the dark

Is way past you knees,

Or you don't have the strength

To do what need.

If you think the fire in your heart

Is slowly diminishing.

Let me tell you what I know

With hopes to soothe your soul.

I know that you can do it.

I know you can go on.

I know that in the end

You'll still be standing strong.

I know the pain is bad,

But I know that you are great.

I know you won't give in

Too a little heartache.

I know that out the dark

You'll soon see the light.

You just have to stay strong

And make it through the night.

If I spoke the truth
It would be no concern to you
Maybe my rhymes hold no reason
Then whats the reason they seem untrue
I'm going to get high and reflect the sky
Look at the wings of the dove as it passes by
Project colors of blue love, not blues love
You see I got the blues but its no concern to you
What will your lack of concern prove
I'm not concerned with whispers of yesterdays winds: for its a new day
Tho today I might pay, Because those winds might have been trying to say
There's a storm headed my way, You may say this is an evil place
Tho each day you live, Have you given thanks?

I once believed in fairy tales
That in the end it would all end well
A good thought this is true
But what is one to do
When he see's he's been a fool
I once believed fairy tales came true
Now I know they don't but Nightmares do
Hearts break like glass plates
Heartaches and pains like artheris on winter days
Storm Clouds bring rainbows but they also bring rain
Falling upon the forgotten taking away there
Anguish finds us all even the mighty must fall
Hearts break like glass plates
They gave me the key, but its a combination safe
Locked doors hide history and more
What lies hidden beneath the floor boards
Deep within the basement
All the time that was wasted
All the love placed in different places
Yes this is a Nightmare,
But when day breaks
It still eats at you
Yes this is a Nightmare,
But what scares you most...
Is its True
I used to believe in fairy tales did you

Taste sweeter than honey
Something better than money
Velvet to the touch
The feeling like you about to..
Sensations and red tinted rooms
Sheets wet, the bed is too
The pleasure of the Love
And the feeling of making love
Still feeling like your gonna....
Body shaking and legs go numb
Stairway to Heaven the climb has begun

In King's dream his wishes were apeased,
But never he would believe
The the things that I have seen
The glory and the shame
Ignorant people still known by another name
Malcolm X inspired the rebel in me
To peek behind the curtain
See the behind the scenes
That the government does devious things
However that man said "..By any means.."
And by any means Barrack helped Martin
Fulfill his dreams
I devote my dreams to Wisdom and Knowledge
In hope that one day
People won't have to work to go to college
That the government would be about the people
and not the politics
In hope that the slaves be freed
You see we are all slaves to society
So like Martin I have a dream,
That I can say I'll bring to life by any means
