Cold War Songtext
von Life

So the man say so the king sound play
How you gon′ this one yah a boom, seen?
You know say I and I no tell lie, dreadlock
Dark


When I talk, I'm more prophecy than hypocrisy
Real poetic prodigy, the black Shakespeare with ghetto philosophies
I′m rocking it properly and nothing be stopping me
I've come to run this game like someone
Buying all of the properties in Monopoly
My brain functions bionically, thoughts travel supersonically
Like a Matrix spaceship teleporting to another space odyssey
Conscious music man like Josh Shakopee
Running the road like car technology with a ghetto superstar quality
When I'm dropping this, I make contact
With the brain like a neurologist
Dictator of rhyme without the crimes of Slobodan Milosevic
Laboratory rapologist, I spit bars ′
Til I see stars like an astrologist
And fight cold wars like a Russian communist
People follow this like a newspaper gossip columnist
They study this man called life like an anthropologist
I′m tight like a Cheeto Ortez arm bar or collar grip
Listen to me and gain knowledge quick like an overnight scholarship
Underground commercial opposite so fuck the politics
I'm in it for the love of it, that′s why I stay on top of it
Revealing hidden truths like Erin Brockovich
My level is some other shit, way out
There like an extra-terrestrial mothership

Futuristic blade runner, Twilight Zone imagination
Origination, innovation, ground breaking like broken pavement
Speak a spoken statement to the nation, give them inspiration
Turn their dreams into reality, a life with no limitations
I set my standards high, ambitions rise like levitation
I thrive in an underdog situation and always come out blazing
Half genius, quarter amazing and quarter Jamaican
And when I don't feel like talking, I have telepathic conversations
Advancing on worldwide domination with my dominant creations
Laying the foundation with extreme calm and patience
Feed you with information, educational indoctrinations
Good vibes to rap, I bring back like reincarnation
By my own estimation, my reputation is forever raising
I′m a combination of slick skills and clever word phrasing
Every verse I'm making is so dark it disturbs Satan
Leaving him emotionally repressed like
A depressed mentally disturbed patient
I got wisdom like Egyptian ancients, leave my mark like exclamation
While I′m marching on the knowledge exploration


Warn them, teach them, show them
How you got to remember Jah
Now I and I always come down yah and show the I dem a ting
Say anywhere unuh hear that tune yah, play it
Box up the people dem and take it off of the turntable
Cah this one dedicate only to all of the people dem
Weh come from weh the place deh
