Proximity Effect producing the beats for MALAKAI's poetics

lyrics

SCIENCE OF SLEEP AND MATHEMATICS OF MIND
LIVIN LUCID DREAMS, WHO CALLED IT MAN –KIND – NESS NEXT TO TEST, AND TESTAMENTS TIE
MEN TO MANY THINGS; SO GO ON… TESTIFY
PUSHIN PAPERS TO PEDDLE THE PETALS FALLIN TO THORNS
MOVIN METAL TO MEDDLE MEANWHILE YOUR COUNTRY MOURNS
THEY SAID DON’T SETTLE UNSETTLED
AND NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS
YES TELL ME NEVER SAY NEVER
BUT I SAY NEVERTHELESS
NEVER REST FROM DURESS
TO IMPRESS AND PRESS UPON
NEVER SEE THE BREAK OF DAWN
SLANT MY EYES CAUSE IT’S ON
CAN’T STOP, CROP-TO-CROP, DISGRACE THE TOP
AS WE CASE TO CASE DROP, SO HOLLYWOOD CAN SHOP
RESOLUTION; NEVER A REVOLUTION
REVOLVE TO DISSOLUTION, JUST FOOLS FOR EVOLUTION
POLLUTION OF THE MIND EDUCATED BY THE BLIND
DESECRATED AND CONFINED…
BY YOUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH…
AND I’M RUNNING SAID I’M RUNNING AWAY

AFTER MILLIONS OF YEARS THAT WE’VE SPUN AROUND THE SAME SUN
BOTH OUR LEADERS AND THUGS STILL REACH FOR A GUN (2X)

HEAD UP, LEARN WHAT’S UP AND DON’T MAKE NO APOLOGY
FED UP WE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS MOB PSYCHOLOGY
SCIENCE OF SLEEP AND MATHEMATICS OF MIND
LIVIN LUCID DREAMS, WHO CALLED IT MAN –KIND – NESS NEXT TO TEST, AND TESTAMENTS TIE
MEN TO MANY THINGS; SO GO ON… TESTIFY
BEST DRESSSED IN LIES, HEAD PRESSED AND WISE
OPENING THIRD EYES, BUT SEE THE SAME THING
… KING AFTER KING; MOVING PAWNS UPON GRAVES
MET A MAN UP IN THE MIRROR- WHO WAS ONE OF THE SLAVES
TRIGGER-FINGER… APPLYING THE PRESSURE
MISDIRECT FAITH… AND A BULLET TO MEASURE
MEASURE MANHOOD WITH EVIL INSTEAD OF GOOD
AND PLEASURE MISUNDERSTOOD IT GOES HOOD TO HOOD
BUCK-SHOTS, BLOCK-TO-BLOCK, AND RACE THE CLOCK
AS THEY FACE TO FACE TALK; BODIES OUTLINE IN CHALK
WHO NEEDS NIGHTLY NEWS?
YOU’S THE SAME EVERYDAY
AND I’M RUNNING SAID I’M RUNNING AWAY
