It's the love in your heart
Or the pain in your mind
No one cares what the truth is
'Cause their fortune's built on lies
It's the love in your heart
Or the pain in your mind
No one cares what the truth is
'Cause their fortune's built on lies
Yo, I'm exhausted but I never ever forfeit
Y'all just bullshit while I knock a nigga off quick
Y'all start speakin' in tongues and start reachin' for guns
A militant will put this heat in your lungs
The street and the slums, the weekend is done
The local class always show you where the heat's begun
The seasons are done and reasons are none
People dyin', bullets flyin' but they schemin' for fun
It's sort of a nightmare, that's right there
They hopin' that somebody in the hood just might care
With all this protestin' and rallyin', death toll tallyin'
Foul smells around them, perils in the alley and
Corner filled with teddy bears â€~cause they killed a child again
They sing about murder, so it ain't a song, it's hollerin'
Get off the choir with your soft attire
Niggas out here don't give a fuck â€~cause they lost desire
It's the love in your heart
Or the pain in your mind
No one cares what the truth is
'Cause their fortune's built on lies
It's the love in your heart
Or the pain in your mind
No one cares what the truth is
'Cause their fortune's built on lies
Yeah, my city's full of heart breakers and stargazers
Who puff [Incomprehensible] till they're
Gone With The Wind like Clark Gable
Breathin' like Darth Vader, believin' in Dark Angel
Yeah, we got flags but they not star-spangled
We not patriotic, their heroes are not them
Ghetto griots like rims, you stop, they still spin
Tall tales at the bar when it's after dark
And we still stop in and check into [Incomprehensible]
And listen to Rakim, wonderin' where that y'all been
For realla, I end up here schemin' and playin'
You fear us? Fear is self personified
Payin' homage to homicide, prayin' to the dollar sign
It's idol worship, the rebel forces
Bodies lie at the foundation of the fortress
This is war, we expect some losses
And we comin' for the heads of the bosses
It's the love in your heart
Or the pain in your mind
No one cares what the truth is
'Cause their fortune's built on lies
It's the love in your heart
Or the pain in your mind
No one cares what the truth is
'Cause their fortune's built on lies
Yo, we on some casualties of war, shit
What you stand for, kid?
We in the city where they definitely lost it
You open your eyelids and get capped in the ribs
Your funeral â€~fore they hang your 12th grade portrait
Pretty corpse in casket, bell-shaped orchids
Said he 19 and left a self-made fortune and left three orphans
Now he in a box with the same chain and watch
That never came off him
It's a shame what it cost him
Where he come from it ain't nuthin'
It's a everyday thin', that's a problem
This chambers revolvin', bustin' like Russian roulette
With a full set, then change what the odds is
Flames in the mosque and people held hostage
Everyday I struggle, try to get up out the mosh pit
Homicide for profit, tell me how we not sick?
This shit is out of control, they can't stop it
It's the love in your heart
Or the pain in your mind
No one cares what the truth is
'Cause their fortune's built on lies
It's the love
