Текст песни Only Slaves D.R.E.A.M. - Canibus

Do you think the powers that be
Are gonna let you do what you wanna do for eternity?
Of course you don't, so what do you fear?

Why you spazzin' out? Why you so scared?

Everybody wanna be first, nobody wants to be last

Do you think the God that created this
Would watch all of us die while others just laugh?

What happens when the money system crash

And there's no more value in the cash?

You gonna suck dick and sell ass?
You gonna try to fight back with your hands?

You probably change your money into gold
You gonna use that, try to buy soul
Buy some drugs with it, buy a piece of hole

Don't tell me, I don't wanna know

You need to come up with a better plan
The Devil smash metal weapons like glass
Right now we outmatched and outclassed
We have to stay on a spiritual path
Cause in the absence of love, we blastin' one another with blood
Media shows up to capture the buzz
I'm a child of God, not a rapper from the gutter
I'm six of one and half a dozen of the other
This is not one of those "I told you so" moments

This is just Canibus being open
Lower egoic minds brush aside
But can't nullify the high science that is coming from the rhymes

I couldn't believe it the day that I was told
That every person alive does not have a soul
And is not in control of these cotton pickin' polls
Politicians declare the war of attrition on the globe
And stole all the fishin' holes

Grandma got some chitlins on the stove
That'll overload the senses in your nose
Young folk can't even afford to get old
How many YouTube views before you go gold?
How many albums you sold last week?
How many leaked downloads?
Oh, you still believe the SoundScan, bro?

Don't be discouraged, writin', producin', recordin', you love it

This is your art, and that's the point of it
When you get paid from it, things change
People behave stubborn and say rude things to judge it

They want you to thug it, so they can have you like a test subject
Handcuffed and take mug shots of it

I told you before I'm nobody's spit puppet

I say what I want, you take what you want from it

This is a social experiment put on by the public
Hip-Hop is completely corrupted
You ain't rappin' bout that, you ain't rappin' bout nothin'
I ain't never gonna starve, I'll be white tail huntin'
Y'all motherfuckers is buggin', spittin' with no substance
Hip-Hop's the way it is because of you, cousin

It ain't my fault, you locked me out of it

Ninety-nine percent of my fans ain't nothin' but scumbags
Scum buckets, bloodsuckin' cock fuckers
My lyrics too advanced for the average block hustler

You know my name, I'm deeply inspired
On a mountain lion meat diet, eat to be quiet
Recycle the fire and deep fry it
That line is hot, but you said it before, you get a C minus

My shit is timeless like the Great Wall in China
Sick in the biggest way like a dinosaur virus
Spreadin' through Verizon Wireless
Homeland Security's tryin' it, just to see if you lyin', 'Bis
Then step to me, never thought it would happen like this
You a flight risk, you need that microphone back, 'Bis
Diversionary tactics, magic, madness
Canibus, you can't leave this miserable prison planet
God damn it, we don't care what your fans think

Cause ninety-nine percent of all of this don't exist
The observer changes the properties of the observed
This is done with your mind, not with your words

Word? Yeah, I'm bout to show you nerds

You bookworms really startin' to get on my nerves

I can't talk like you, but I can understand you
I know what this entire ordeal can expand to

I love hip-hop, I always been a fan too

I'm a big fan of everything you do
I appreciate the purchases, the online searches
I hope you enjoy the verses, it was great to be of service

This was always my purpose
I'm always workin' to be a better person every day
And still growin' like the Earth is
Peace to the Gods and the Earths, kid
