Everything is lookin peaceful
 I'm checkin out these people
 The ones that's doin good and the ones that's doin evil

 Now as I flip through this world of mind
 Everything is lookin peaceful
 I'm checkin out these people
 Some doin good and others doin evil

 I heard somebody say I'll do anything nowaday to make a buck
 Cos niggas are dyin and nobody gives a muthafuck
 And you be wantin to trip when I be talkin about murder and thangs
 I think it's obvious that you ain't never heard of mine
 What goes on in the neighborhood
 East coast, West coast, ain't shit turnin out good
 Sometimes I wanna cry
 And straight put the 9 to my muthafuckin dome and let the bullets fly
 But mama said I'm too strong to break down
 And I'm caught up in another drug shake-down
 Cos they think I'm sellin birds
 But i'm workin 9 to 5 and still ain't gettin what I deserve
 So who's fuckin who
 Is it that white man or the black man standin next to you
 See, most blacks can't handle power
 Get paid and get to changin by the hour
 Closin all the doors
 Got a little paper, now they wanna treat they people like hoes
 Now after takin a look at that
 How the fuck you think the white man is supposed to act
 See we can't check the peckerwood
 If we can't treat our own fuckin people good
 We wanna pick the fruit, but the fruit ain't ripe
 Yeah, now who got the right to write

 Now as I flip through this world of mine
 Everything is lookin peaceful
 I'm checkin out these people
 The ones that's doin good and the ones that's doin evil

 Now as I flip through this world of mind
 Everything is lookin peaceful
 I'm checkin out these people
 Some doin good and others doin evil

 Niggas are gettin fooled by the president's plan
 In jail they got a president, but they call him the boss man
 The boss man is prejudiced, hurtin em with politics
 Better let em out quick or they gon' cause a riot, bitch
 Even if you lock the door they still got the power
 Cos the fuckin white house reminds em of the watch tower
 The man is watchin over us, steady controllin us
 And if we make a move he's ready to put a hole in us
 Everytime I step he's always around me
 To tell the fuckin truth, I feel safer in the county
 At least in jail I know what I'm up against
 But everything is a muthafuckin mystery outside the fence
 Thinkin that we made it, but we ain't made it yet
 And it's gettin harder cos the man ain't givin up shit, bet
 Steady lettin us down
 And ain't nobody helpin us out

 Now as I flip through this world of mine
 Everything is lookin peaceful
 I'm checkin out these people
 The ones that's doin good and the ones that's doin evil

 Now as I flip through this world of mind
 Everything is lookin peaceful
 I'm checkin out these people
 Some doin good and others doin evil

 Yeah
 A new beginning
 Big Mike
 Comin from that swamp
 You know
 Just kickin it how I feel
 And that's on the real
