Watch Ya Retina by Violent Content (VC) Lyrics
[Verse 1: VC]
For the 2012
Young’N who Im ridin wit
Conscious minds destroyed by these bottles of Heineken
Allergic to the distractions
In my sinuses
My hands itching for this here
My palms got psoriasis
The hood struggling
People is dyin here
That’s what happens when you grow up
In this environment
Hip-hop use to solve them problems
But they silenced it
They thru us money
And told us make sure this’s where the violence is
[Hook:]
Hard To Survive (hard to survive]
I'm just trying to stay alive [I'm trying to stay alive]
And Time after time [uh, and for my real]
Its just nothing on my mind [pay attention man]
The government pulling strings
Like a violin
Cuz its ran by Skull & Cross bones
But No Pirate ship
They say its all opinions
Somebody lying here
85 dumb death and blind
Im in that 5%
I’d create a better world
But I ain’t a Scientist
Some N***A's try to escape reality
Pop a Vicodin
Them problems a still be there
When u come down from it
Common sense just ain't what some of these people Logic is
Man
Stay on a level of consciousness
And Keep ya head above 1 Oxygen, 2 hydrogen
Go thru the fire then
Quit drowning the pain and find where the root of the problem is
If everybody keep it real, then who the liar then
If u always take one side, that’s what being biased is
Ain't got nothing nice to say
Its best to keep quiet then
That’s the words of a wise man
[Hook]
I feel our education system is past backwards
Teach our kids morals
Before you teach them mathematics
Ain't taught em nothing
And now he got them bad habits
They don't think they gotta work for nothing
And can still have it
See how they plan these tricks man
Silly rabbits
Occupying em with TV
Is worse than a absent daddy
I was raised by Machiavelli
So if u don’t want another me
You better teach em daily
For the 2012
