Soundtrack to Confusion

Soundtrack to Confusion - Black Thought & Salaam Remi Lyrics

This shit crazy
Two-fifteen
Uh, I'm here seated at the helm
The black soundtrack to confusion is the film
I’m channelin' uncertainty and usin' it to tell the story of winnin' in life, then losin' it as well

The triumph was Makaveli inspired

Awaken a sleepin' giant, commander Tariq ibn Ziyad

Fresh from the fire and into formal attire

That's from a foreign designer, I call the plug, supplier, but a high we got

Try me not, that's the caveat

You'd probably get the same thing my last body got

Poet Laureate, swift chariot, the Maserat'

The one to watch, born the year of the ox

I got more than a reason to revel like Desus and Mero

Lyrical religious hero on Jesus' level

The reason none of these heathens is even as thorough

We bare arms like Idris or Venus de Milo

My blood is different than the blood that you bleed if it's yellow

I'm colder than Paul Robeson leadin' Othello

I'm older than the barcode, it ain't easy to tell though

The rap John Henry, they send me deep in the railroad

I'm heavy metal, the rock roller, the rebel without a pause

Perspective is bipolar as ever, I gotta cross the bridge and then burnt it into ash

A reoccurin' dream and then turnt it into cash

The reoccurin' theme is the hurt lives in the past

But undeniable lessons I learned live in the stash

Uh, the breadwinner, the dead center, the head-spinner

I heard life is a bitch, I went to bed wit' her

I once was told to know thy self

How can I grow myself, if I don't know myself?

The low-hangin' fruit for bottom feeders, no top-shelf

I chase demons for a lotta reasons, not just health

Seated at the throne, summonin' the ghosts like a seance

I never take a day off work, it never pay off

I wish for more peace on this Earth and never chaos

As long as classrooms gettin' sprayed with the ARs

Yeah



Revelation of a blessin' in disguise

I looked hate in the face and read the message in his eyes

They clickbaited a nation and requested the response

And dictated the makings of another renaissance

But wait, the fate of it's what the government decides

And I don't mean the state, I mean this government of ours

The mark, Ark of the Covenant requires

Frauds, I'm makin' a mockery of 'em with the bars alone

The population of the world has grown

And more people in the streets than live in gorgeous homes

A lotta heavy conflict zones, the swords are shown

I'm tryna study all the language on the Georgia Stones

To quote the classic joint, “What a fool believes”

And what the teachers of the school believes

Is very different from what the thieves and the class in rule believes

I'm tryna give y'all some jewelries

We under pressure like a diamond mine

Huntin' it somethin' like a phenomenon

And we losin' light like M. Night Shyamalan

Them people searchin' for somethin' with body armor on

You never know who they wantin', that’s why we on the law

Preparin' me, that isn’t necessary, what I'm haunted by is knowin' where the bodies are buried

Yet, I'm taunted by the omen

Knowin' my adversary, I'm gone to Neveruary

It’s on, it’s gettin' heavy for real
