Visionaries

To the ones walkin the righteous path
[VERSE 1: LMNO]
Church and state separate
Plenty of Gods children, devil is the king of deception
Looking at the paintings of a white and black Jesus
Spirit says its simply to deceive us
If I was after sacrifice, need a scapegoat
I would stop fightin and cut my own throat
Lord hold me in your bosom, Satans on my track
Help me lose him, I know youre on your way
Whether its 2 years, 20 years and so forth
The point is hes comin, youre summoned to Gods court
Theres no failure to repair once we leave here
Order, hear he, no - you hear me
Youre not God, egotistical wig-wearin
Mallet-slammin... Oh, the verdict is in
Free from sin, Baptism
I see myself in the line-up, yes, thats him
A man who ( ? ) is a man whos wise
Its all how you work it, not a matter of size
You dont love me anymore cause of what was said?
You never loved me in the first place, see me tread
In stormy waters, look, theres a rock ahead
Make sure you say your prayers before you go to bed
[CHORUS]
Hey you over there
Are you familiar with spiritual warfare?
Or do you care?
[Rakim] (I got a question)
Or do you care?
(I got a question)
Or do you care?
[VERSE 2: Key-Kool]
Im not asleep but Im not fully awake
Livin my life in a dreamlike state
I see where I need to be and Im tryin to get there
But it feels like Im runnin in place
Runnin a race against time is a waste
A true mind doesnt have a face or physical shape
But wait, its hard to belay a manifest
When my bones ache and Im made of flesh
I feel a pain in my chest from stress and self-inflicted wounds
From the time we leave the womb were consumed
By the brainwashin of a society
Where conciousness is like sobriety a rarity
I have a moment of clarity
Now I refuse to live life as a parody of the truth
The proof at the root is hidden beneath
Layers of false satisfaction and deceit
I fight to defeat the distractions
Material attachments and worldy passions
Im askin myself: am I egotistical and selfish
Or truly nothing, selfless?
(I got a question)
(I got a question)
[CHORUS]
