Lavell Jones - Contradictions Lyrics




Instead of selling love, they selling us dope
Lies instead of the hope
Molesters instead of the Pope
Instead of see you breathe, they'd rather you choke
Killing our folk, handing up rope
It's outta control, and what they think nobody ever would know?
Listen, listen I got something just to say, right
Nigga listen, listen, I got something that'll change lives, lives
But nigga you don't listen
So nigga you'll never get it
Man everyone's a critic, aw nigga f*ck a critic

What's the new word, what's the new word, huh?
F*ck the news say, and f*ck what you say, huh
I'm the new nigga, I'm the new nigga, nigga
I'm the new mane, I'm the new mane
But you don't listen, and we don't get it
Higher levels of thinking while your minds been locked in prison
Prism, I'm trying to approach things at different angles
Praying to God, like God send me more angels
Angel on my shoulder, like what you playing for?
Demon on my shoulder, like what you praying for?
I know they saying a lot but is you saying more?
You say that you'll make it, what makes you so sure?
You're insecure, or never the less whats you think you'll find success
And at that do it the best?
What separates you boys from the rest of 'em huh?

I keep running away (Way)
I ain't never gonna change (Change)
I keep losing my faith (My faith)
Cause I got, nothing to say
I'm not running away (Way)
I'll start making a change (Change)
I'm not losing my faith (My faith)
Cause I got, something to say

Here we go again, here we go again, same struggle
Here we go again, though I say I hate you, know I love you
So why I say it?
I know words got power so why I say it?
And then we all fall down
They say the end gon' come and then we all bow down
But while I'm here won't you all bow down
Yeah I said it, talking my shit now
Know niggas that pop trunks and then its all click pow
Is it clicking now that my click get down?
Or is you lost nigga?
Reppin' my city when I'm in and outta town
Look, I'm all around nigga
I guess that's why they give me daps and pounds nigga
I started from the bottom like the ground nigga
Timeless shit that barley come around nigga
So every word I do say is profound nigga
Look around nigga
You probably ain't seeing it all
Open your eyes bigger
You might start seeing the flaws
But maybe we can fix it
Only if you listen
They playing with your vision
But I am on a mission
I tell 'em

I keep running away (Way)
I ain't never gonna change (Change)
I keep losing my faith (My faith)
Cause I got, nothing to say
I'm not running away (Way)
I'll start making a change (Change)
I'm not losing my faith (My faith)
Cause I got, something to say
