Careful before you wReck your life See through my, telescope eyes I can see the future, I I can see the future When a change gon' come? When a change gon' come? I'd like to share with your telescopes [Verse One] [Reks] Peace to my niggas livin' oh so hood Rest in peace too early cause they know no good I know shit ain't democratic in our demographic The wars on outside, the streets tragic Street's average, about a, kill in a minute Don't need to see overseas death, we livin' in it In tenement climates, violence or business Jails higher the death tolls, cops hire to witness Reason why so many kids is gettin' buried They all carry same heat cops on beats carry We don't need momma worried Shit ain't necessary We need new leaders, modern revolutionary The revolution televised, should we be surprised? Rather watch Flavor Of Love than realize Pre-Armageddon happenin' right before our eyes Technology disconnect me from outside [Hook] [Reks] Why you wanna roll them Dice?

But bored in class, use your brain like a shotgun blast And the impact will keep 'em intact when they provokin' 'em I know it's in arms reach, society Utopian Now how you like them apples, pears and oranges? You didn't think that this nigga here from Providence could change the world As I stand in the session I'm not poor but I beg the questions So answer [Hook] [Reks] Why you wanna roll them Dice?
