Listen Up!

I know style
I am style
I was born around style
So go on, get your surround sound
and listen up
I’m about to tell you the truth
It’s not that you got to listen to me
You got to listen to the things that you read
Take the truth
From what you don’t see
Call me your third eye
I’ll never show you a lie
Freedom is what you make it
It lives in a man’s pride
I live everyday to die
That’s my style
Now let me show you how
I said freedom lives in a man’s pride
So if I kill my pride, everyday,
You’ll never take me alive
You can attack my flesh
But my soul will survive
And hit you like the idiot’s guide to chess.
