[Chorus:]  You won't believe the things I've seen   Far beyond your wildest dreams   I've seen chaos and order reign supreme   I've seen the beauty of the universe   so peaceful and serene   in seconds turn to violence and screams     I've seen true genius, too often to lose the meaningless   appreciation of this mediocre nation   I've heard the mind is repetition,   of empty words without tradition   Turned original verbs into submission   I smelled this malignerance addiction,   but I guess I wouldn't be right   if I said the blunt was like a baby pipe   There ain't gon' be no revolution tonight   Half of my warriors as high as a kite   Lost and they lost all they fight   And I've tasted, the bitter tragedy of lives wasted   And men who glimpsed the darkness inside, but never faced it   And it's a shame that most of y'all are followin sheep   Wallowin deeper than the darkness, you're fallin asleep     [Chorus:]  You won't believe the things I've seen   Far beyond your wildest dreams   I've seen chaos and order reign supreme   I've seen the beauty of the universe   so peaceful and serene   in seconds turn to violence and screams     I've seen and experienced things   that'll push the average to the edge and swan dive to death   I'm two guys, multiplied by ninety-three guys   Evenly balanced seein evil equally in each eye now   Maybe I'm the most thorough worker on the job to you   or maybe I'm the one, who was plottin to rob you   The fear of this beatdown, the women on no cash to floss   makes most of y'all hustle ya ass off   From nothin to two mill', in five years I'll live to see it   vanish in six months, with no tears believe it   I'll rock, twenty-eight years before the Feds can lay a trace   See they plan is to erase me, just to replace me     Life! Your heart is one with your brain   Emotional or reason, now which one do you obey?   Life! Somebody callin you insane   When overwhelmed and blessed, burst in tears of happiness     Yo, yo, I've seen relationships that's so sick   Life long friendships so cha-o-tic   Thug cat bangin this chick but won't kiss   Drinkin her spit, when coppin a fix for dope bliss   I got a knife and a bat, to bust your brain, put a knife in your back   "Once in the Life" I was trifle like that   like my man Troy, who lost his days   shootin dice on worldly ways   and ended up in a early grave   Because once in a lifetime is rough   Twice in a lifetime you combat the ghost of mistrust   Mentally cuffed, thrust by a cop thinkin he tough   You bust, Amadou Diallo is us, and what   now I'm on my knees, beggin' "God, please!   Save me from the fires of hell!   Let water water soul prevail" - cos I can't take no more   Who's that knockin, at, my door?   Is that you, Pete from Cobb's Creek, who died in my sleep?   We was playin for fun, now it's keeps   Like my man Mark I beat to death wrapped in a carpet   and left in the garbage, now that's cold-hearted   Ask Book he saw it, "Yo black I ain't seen (shit)   Kids in the 6, they flip for nonsense"   Poke an icepick, smokin that (shit) since preschool fool   and packin a tool, (fuck you) Mom Dukes it's cool     [Chorus:]  You won't believe the things I've seen   Far beyond your wildest dreams   I've seen chaos and order reign supreme   I've seen the beauty of the universe   so peaceful and serene   in seconds turn to violence and screams     Life! Your heart is one with your brain   Emotional or reason, now which one do you obey?   Life! Somebody callin you insane   When overwhelmed and blessed, burst in tears of happiness
