We're getting ready to have a live session
Now, what we was trying to say
When you have real change, everybody's thing begin to change
Teacher begins to teach a new lesson
Preacher begins to preach a new sermon
And the musician also tries to capture the new thing so that we might have melody and have rhythm as we do our thing
Oh, it's been such a long, long time
Yes, it's been such a long, long time
Oh, it's been such a long, long time
Yes, it's been such a long, long time
Now the world is?—
25 years in the making
Before conversations with Elohim and Satan
"Nature of The Threat" still more relevant than ever
Hate crimes multiplied, Christians in red hats
"Zero tolerance", Jesus never said that
Jésus got deported though, another orphan in the barrio
Time to strap up like a sicario
I was hypnotized by the audio
Now the boys dance like strippers
Wear stretchy jeans, fake pockets and mad zippers
Trust fund babies dress poor and claim hipster
Gentrified the hood but will still call you a nigga
The weed legal, but the police will still kill
These bitches ass fake, but the pussy still real
Hottest rappers can't rap, they just Milli Vanilli
Philly freed Meek Milly, the jury killed Billy
Cosby, I'll prolly be underrated for life
Fake my own death, go triple Platinum overnight
Then re-emerge in Costa Rica with 2Pac
Like "Who Shot Ya", guess who it's not
It's been such a long, long time
Yes, it's been such a long, long time
Oh, it's been such a long, long time
Yes, it's been such a long, long time
Now the world is?—
Since last time you paid attention, I lost some friends
Well, hell, me and Xzibit, we kick it again
But most them so-called friends is gone
Turned into the same fuckboy he hated when we was tryna get on
I guess hurt people hurt people
Never-ending cycle with a fucked up sequel
The internet beat major labels then Zuckerberg sold ads
And labels spent millions, so independents finished last (Again)
Pay the publicist who add you to the playlist
YouTube, Spotify, it's still pay to play, bitch (Facts)
These crackers brought back Reaganomics, the '80s
The war on crime and incarceration for profit
Got self-destructive, they locked up my ass
Thank God Chino XL and Vinny Paz said “Free Ras Kass”
Arabs got banned, Black men got shot
Asian girls running around sucking any and every white boys cock
Like it's the new Colonialism
The devil conquered by creating division
Historical revision purposely
The verse will be mercury, my silver anniversary
Oh, it's been such a long, long time
Yes, it's been such a long, long time
Oh, it's been such a long, long time
Yes, it's been such a long, long time
Now the world is?—
