Hello hello hello hello Every anywhere heights plains peaks or valleys Entrances exits vestibules and alleys Winding roads that test the firm nerve Fortune or fatal behind the blind curve The engine oil purr lights flash to a blur Speed work through the earth make your motor go scurr! Tonight at noon watch a bad moon rising Identities in crisis and conflict diamonds Blindin' staring at lights till they cryin' Bone gristle popping from continuous grindin' Grapes of wrath in a shapely glass Ingredients influential on your ways and acts Zero tolerance to raise the tax It don't matter how your gates is latched You ain't safe from the danger jack Made it way before they made the map Or a G-P-S this is D-E-F leader I know where I'm goin' even when its dark and being led down that road Hello hello hello hello You don't see that somethings wrong earth's spinnin' outta control Hello hello hello hello Everything's for sale even souls someone get God on the phone Hello hello hello hello Northside nigga Southside Hello hello hello hello Shits poppin' off Worldwide Hello hello hello hello Between the greenhouse gases and earth spinnin' off its axis Got mother nature doin' back flips the natural disasters Its like 80 degrees in Alaska you in trouble if u not an Onasis It ain't hard to tell that the conditions is drastic Just turn on the telly check for the news flashin' How you want it bagged paper or plastic Lost in translation or just lost in traffic Yo I don't wanna floss I done lost my passion And I ant trying to climb yo I lost my traction They makin' me break my contents under pressure Do not shake I'm workin' while the boss relaxin' Here come Mr. tax man he leavin' a fraction give me back some Matter fact next pay check it's like that son I'll f*ck around and have to hurt a few men They probably chalk it up as a disturbing new trend hello I know where I'm goin' even when its dark and being led down that road Hello hello hello hello You don't see that somethings wrong earth's spinnin' outta control Hello hello hello hello Everything's for sale even souls someone get God on the phone Hello hello hello hello Northside nigga Southside Hello hello hello hello Shits poppin' off Worldwide Hello hello hello hello Should I say hello or should I say that hell is low And my nigga are niggaro I'm an African American They sell drugs in the hood but the man he move the medicine He'll prescribe you Augmen for everything A little stuffy nose tell you get some Claritin You know I'm hip to it and its hard to claim the land When my great great great grands were shipped to it Look at technology they call it downloading I call it downsizing somebody follow me Does a computer chip have an astrology And when it f*ck up could it give you an apology Could it Should it say hello or should it say goodbye Try to understand how smart and how hood am I, It don't matter though Until we learn that the world don't turn right ,we all oughta the scatter though I know where I'm goin' even when its dark and being led down that road Hello hello hello hello You don't see that somethings wrong earth's spinnin' outta control Hello hello hello hello Everything's for sale even souls someone get God on the phone Hello hello hello hello
