Roaming through life, woman to woman, day to day/
Cigarettes and alcohol, help me find my way/
I cruise around in park, try to rev the engine/
wear sunglasses in the dark, its true vision/
Refracted through the prism, colors in my prison/
Separated by schism, Classed by division/
Carry the two, wait, no add the three/
Not travelling in life, the tree carves its initials into me/
Regression is my profession, only move forward in reverse/
I promise to love you, for better or for worse/
You should promise me too. its ok, my love is enough/
I see right through you, i called your bluff/
"Leave a message, I'm Out Right Now", Guess no one is home/
Thats a nice mask, it really hide your true feelings/
Secret dealings, keeps your face from peeling/
What you keep up as an act, might not become an act one day/
Then one day you will say i never shoulda acted that way/
You act like you used to, but you skipped a period of evolution/
Victim of mind pollution, subliminal thought redistribution/
Who are you? Are you happy with yourself/
Do you know you name? Hope you are in good health/
But who knows anything in the science age/
You could be famous one day, just die and you'll make the front page/
They'll write nice comments like, "You were an honest man"/
But to be alive today, no one would shake your hand/
I can see all your impurties, even the ones that aren't there/
Smacked in the face, Tell that blind man not to stare/
Look up to the stars, they're looking back with animosity/
Go to the pet store, all out of puppies with ferocity/
What's wrong with you people! Dont you see the truth?/
Raise the roof, Just another way to keep down the youth/
Nothings impossible, i've been trying to do it for years now/
Grazing in the pasture, looking to tip cows, raise your eyebrows/
What do we have now?, See that person over there? he sorta looks like me/
Saggy pants and spray cans, slave to the hip hop industry/
Look at him, i can spot a hundred million flaws/
Uneven jaws, broken countless laws, taken numerous falls/
Hey, wait a second, hes looking back, its all becoming crystal clear/
I think i know this person... looking back in the mirror/

Your interpretations are welcome... people who read it will mos def get it right... pz
