Second Nature

[Verse 1]:
Oh, Captain, My Captain, bestow the knowledge we been lacking
The fact of the matter we need to be rapping a call to action
We knowing a lot of people be acting when tracks are bangin'
Some are trying so hard, off every word they be hangin'
But they don't understand 'em
Some words are foreign even to locals
Second nature to me when I be delivering my vocals
Ain't a second thought on dropping bars like "imperial policy-
Hegemony, plutocracy, fascistic monopoly"
I'm a product of trying to alter an apathetic past
So, forgive me if I'm starting long distance maybe a little fast
I'm tryna prove to myself as well as the rest who know me
That I'm a better man than I was, if y'all don't like it blow me
I'm a product of knowledge that teachers can't provide
I drive a lot of people up the wall but do it all with pride
And if tomorrow I die, well, it's been one Hell of a ride
And I wouldn't change a single lyric the Dark Side Poet emceed
To the believers & cynics alike...
No matter what they be thinkin' fact is I know I'm right
So as I go off into the night the last thing of me you'll see
Is a smile ear to ear like on the mask of V
[Hook]:
So as I go off into the night, the last, thing of me you'll see
Is a smile, ear to ear like on the mask of V
So as I go off into the night, the last, thing of me you'll see
Is a smile, ear to ear like on the mask of V
[Verse 2]:
First Nature is for me to live and breathe and eat and shit and bleed
To love and hate and laugh and cry and wonder why until I die
And second Nature put 'em all to use for the good of everyone
Whether or not they believe it doesn't matter because we are all one
Connected more than ever regardless of what they tell us
Ain't a military tactic stopping hands across the atlas
From the Alice to Paris and all the way to the world's end
Black or white, gay or straight, Communist, Anarchist, we all bleed red
So, I'ma throw up this picket sign, if ya feel me, join me
No matter what they be thinkin' they can never destroy me
Because I'm just an idea and ideas are bulletproof
We will conquer this world by the power of truth
We can put the fear of man into these demigods
The DSP, don't ya know? Un-fuckin' the world with every flow
Every breath I take I have the chance to make the people see
I'm right and wear a smile ear to ear like on the mask of V
[Hook]:
So as I go off into the night, the last, thing of me you'll see
Is a smile, ear to ear like on the mask of V
So as I go off into the night, the last, thing of me you'll see
Is a smile, ear to ear like on the mask of V
[Verse 3]:
Vendetta tatt on my right arm, mic in my left hand
Pushed to the mouth make a sidearm
Animal nature in effect, see attack mode
Take a breath and unleash true flow
Y'all never seen anybody up in the the B'
Doin' it quite like this, vacate the room
See Capitol D turn the place to Hunger Games
Light the sky up, kaboom!
With the role he was born to play
Sedition he was born to relay
To the people of the world with their fist up
Wearin' black and Circle-A
Slavin' away all day for the people
Ever takin' their money and life away
And y'all got the nerve to say I'm lazy
Say "get a job" and just obey
Fuck you
I'm doin' this for you, I'm doin' this for us all
I suffer daily, heart and mind are broken but I'll never fall
Some things are worth the pain, some weights are worth the strain
And I'll spit like a waterboard
In the face of my adversary 'til I'm fully drained
Hotbox with a man with a purpose
See what ya got's completely worthless
It be a lifetime dedicated to the rhyme
And a reason for that rhyme
This little, nah, scratch that
This massive light of mine each rap
And I rap in the darkness
See me smiling like the mask of V
