their mamas will be alright

just give 'em time

go get your money right

you won't lose no sleep tonight

nominate your kids

i think they'd prove your theory right

would you watch them die?

like tryna get a hold of smoke and water

coming up with nothing every time

how come we ain't getting any closer

tryna find the truth behind the lies?

see a dead man walking

hey

let's duplicate a few

ooh

ooh

ooh

send some hippies in to help

you think more than you do

hows about another line or two

to pick you up

pick you up

while your people drown

drown

i hope your happy

and you sleep so great at night

while the lovers cry

like tryna get a hold of smoke and water

coming up with nothing every time

how come we ain't getting any closer

tryna find the truth behind the lies?

pain is the perfume scent i'm sprayed in

it clash with the federal agents fragrance

i smell a pig

i'm an ordinary project dude

i'm subject to genetically modified fool

that's fda approved

mass produced

so you can tell a lie from the truth

even though i'm fly in my tie and force suit

le jet like a concorde

swoop through the air

then i land in my van

i'm cool

and i still stand with the uganda youths

all the poor kids out in moscow that live hostile

i ride for you when i ride with the top down

listenin' to joss' sounds

you see how that feel

i see these come with government seals
