Things I've Seen by Spooks

chorus one female vocalist

you won't believe the things i've seen
far beyond your wildest dreams
i've seen chaos and order reign supreme
i've seen the beauty of the uni
verse so peaceful and serene
in seconds turn to violence and screams

verse one
i've seen true genius too often to lose the meaningless
appreciation of this mediocre nation
i've heard the mind is repetition of empty words without tradition
turned original verbs into submission
i smelled this malignerance addiction but i guess i wouldn't be right
if i said the blunt was like a baby pipe
there ain't gon' be no revolution tonight
half of my warriors as high as a kite
lost and they lost all they fight
and i've tasted the bitter tragedy of lives wasted
and men who glimpsed the darkness inside but never faced it
and it's a shame that most of y'all are followin sheep
wallowin deeper than the darkness you're fallin asleep

chorus one

verse two
i've seen and experienced things
that'll push the average to the edge and swan dive to death
i'm two guys multiplied by ninety three guys
evenly balanced seein evil equally in each eye now
maybe i'm the most thorough worker on the job to you
or maybe i'm the one who was plottin to rob you
the fear of this beatdown the women on no cash to floss
makes most of y'all hustle ya ass off
from nothin to two mill' in five years i'll live to see it
vanish in six months with no tears believe it
i'll rock twenty eight years before the feds can lay a trace
see they plan is to erase me just to replace me

chorus two female vocalist

life your heart is one with your brain
emotional or reason now which one do you obey
life somebody callin you insane
when overwhelmed and blessed burst in tears of happiness

verse three
yo yo i've seen relationships that's so sick
life long friendships so cha o tic
thug cat bangin this chick but won't kiss
drinkin her spit when coppin a fix for dope bliss
i got a knife and a bat to bust your brain put a knife in your back
once in the life i was trifle like that
like my man troy who lost his days
shootin dice on worldly ways
and ended up in a early grave
because once in a lifetime is rough
twice in a lifetime you combat the ghost of mistrust
mentally cuffed thrust by a cop thinkin he tough
you bust amadou diallo is us and what
now i'm on my knees beggin god please
save me from the fires of hell
let water water soul prevail cause i can't take no more
who's that knockin at my door
is that you pete from cobb's creek who died in my sleep
we was playin for fun now it's keeps
like my man mark i beat to death wrapped in a carpet
and left in the garbage now that's cold hearted
ask book he saw it yo black i ain't seen shit
kids in the 6 they flip for nonsense
poke an icepick smokin that shit since preschool fool
and packin a tool fuck you mom dukes it's cool
