Race Against Reality

Monie Love

[Verse 1]

A song for the mentally stable is about to be sung

Get hip for the beginning has begun

Some dumb young guns try to diss up on the one

Who has a break plus chooses it, muses try to fuse in it

The point I’m pressing on, why’s it so hard to understand black man, his needs and demands

Even more so brothers and sisters be dissin’ themselves

[?] reality upon a dusty shelf

Going alone with the stasis throne

The ignorant tone is in a class of its own

You could hate me for saying what has to be said

Instead try checking what goes into your head

[Verse 2]

On a deep note, where I want my brothers where they should be

Sisters should be following examples that are good, see

Facin’ reality and what flows with it

Using no fakeness no frauds no gimmicks

Tricks of the trade-played out

Like hoping your problems fade out

‘Cause this only makes matters worse

And makes facin’ reality act in reverse

[Verse 3 ]

I’m disgusted with what I’m subjected to

Watching ignorant [?] and ugly you

Playing a role of somebody in a soap

Expecting the rest of the world to just cope

Damn you’ve been playing a part that you’re not

Damn you’ve been spreading the vibe that you’ve got

Wake up and break up this stupid illusion

Dismiss the negative vibes that you usin’

Wipe off your face take a look in the water

Quit this race it’s really what you ordered. To

Develop thoughts with a sense of vitality

Once and for all stop racing against reality

[Verse 4]

I’m slapping you with this beat with this rhyme

Desperately tryin’ to get to your mind

Come one come all, this goes to the troops

Y’all a bunch of dumb folks— I got proof

From roof to roof floats a question mark

I suggest you get rid of it

Switch on the new shit

Yeah fumes, the game of life you lose

Cause you chose, you took on the stroll times lootin’

You froze, when someone tried to reason you held up your nose

What are you dumb or stupid or both?

Ignorant brothers and sisters are hoes

To games played by the media

If they don’t kill you the government will see to ya

Wake up dammit, life is now

You gotta plan better than you have done

This song is past its capacity

My people —quit racing against reality
