THE INTRO AND TITLE TRACK. I WANTED AN INSTRUMENTAL WITH A CLIMAX. A SLOW BUILD UP. BEAUTIFUL INSTRUMENTATION. HAD TO DIG UP "THE ROOTS" FOR THIS. (PUN INTENDED). THE OBJECTIVE? SIMPLCITY AND BRAVADO LYRICISM. I MUST EMPHASIZE THAT SIMPLICITY IS THE COMMON THREAD THTOUGHOUT THIS MIXTAPE. THIS WAS THE PERFECT OPENING TO THE STORY I WANT TO CREATE.
lyrics
BACK TO YOUR REGULAR, PROGRAM SCHEDULE
CLEAR YA CALENDARS I DEMAND YA UNDIVIDED ATTENTION
AFTER MY 1-2 PUNCH, YOU NOT GETTIN UP
BY THE TIME YOU ADJUST, IM ON MY SECOND CUP
SIPPIN SOMETHIN I CANT PRONOUNCE, YEAH, MY CLASS LEVEL UP
SO ITS POCKET SQUARE, FEATHER HATS,SOLITAIRES
BEZEL BLACK, STOP AND STARE, LEATHER STRAPS, HOTTEST PAIR
I GUARANTEE IF THEY GOT IT THERE,I AIN'T SHOPPIN THERE
IF U GOT IT, THENIAINTWANT IT, WE-DO-NOT-COMPARE
BACK TO THE MESSAGE, HAD TO GET MY CONSCIENCE CLEAR
CLEAN SLATE, DROP A BOMB IN HERE TYPE ATOMIC YEAH
TIME TO SIM-PLI-FY YOUR MIND CAN I GET
SIGNS THAT I CAN DIG-NIFY YA MINDSET
CAN I BRING SAND TO THE BEACH, I AINT SHORE
CAN A YOUNG MAN MAKE MONEY ANYMORE?
IM GIVIN YA'LL THE BASICS, MATHEMATIC EQUATION
1+1 IT EQUALS 2...AMAZING
CHORUS
1+1 WILL ALWAYS = 2 (8X)
SO WHAT WE ALL NEED
LESS CONCRETE MORE PALM TREES
LESS ARMIES MORE CALM STREETS
LESS COFFEE, MORE WARM TEA EVERY-BODY
NOW IM GOIN OUT WIT A BANG!
IF I GOTTA GO, & I GOTTA GO ONE DAY...BUT ONE THING REMAINS
WE OVERTHINKING EVERYTHING,THAT'S SIMPLE AND PLAIN
SO IM PROMOTING EVERYTHING THAT'S SIMPLE AND PLAIN
CHANGE IDEOLOGIES BRAIN POWER IS ALL WE NEED
HAVING TO EXPLAIN, IS SUCH A STRANGE, DICHOTOMY
~WITH REAGAN ADMINISTRATION DRUG WAR ON BLACKS
SEE THEY PROVIDED US THAT,REMEMBER BLACKS DONT CRACK
PROXIMITY WHY THE CRIMES IS ALWAYS BLACK ON BLACK
CUZ IT'S WHITE ON WHITE, WHEN IT'S NOT BLACK ON BLACK
MEN LIE, WOMEN LIE, NUMBERS DONT, CHECK THE STATS
DO THE NUMBERS ADD UP? ITS JUST SIMPLE MATH, 1...
