To the ones walkin' the righteous path
[ VERSE 1: LMNO ]
Church and state separate
Plenty of God's children, devil is the king of deception
Looking at the paintings of a white and black Jesus
Spirit says it's simply to deceive us
If I was after sacrifice, need a scapegoat
I would stop fightin' and cut my own throat
Lord hold me in your bosom, Satan's on my track
Help me lose him, I know you're on your way
Whether it's 2 years, 20 years and so forth
The point is he's comin', you're summoned to God's court
There's no failure to repair once we leave here
'Order, hear he,' no - you hear me
You're not God, egotistical wig-wearin
Mallet-slammin'... Oh, the verdict is in
Free from sin, Baptism
I see myself in the line-up, yes, that's him
A man who ( ? ) is a man who's wise
It's all how you work it, not a matter of size
You don't love me anymore cause of what was said?
You never loved me in the first place, see me tread
In stormy waters, look, there's a rock ahead
Make sure you say your prayers before you go to bed
[ CHORUS ]
Hey you over there
Are you familiar with spiritual warfare?
Or do you care?
Rakim
Or do you care?
(I got a question)
Or do you care?
[ VERSE 2: Key-Kool ]
I'm not asleep but I'm not fully awake
Livin' my life in a dreamlike state
I see where I need to be and I'm tryin' to get there
But it feels like I'm runnin' in place
Runnin' a race against time is a waste
A true mind doesn't have a face or physical shape
But wait, it's hard to belay a manifest
When my bones ache and I'm made of flesh
I feel a pain in my chest from stress and self-inflicted wounds
From the time we leave the womb we're consumed
By the brainwashin' of a society
Where conciousness is like sobriety a rarity
I have a moment of clarity
Now I refuse to live life as a parody of the truth
The proof at the root is hidden beneath
Layers of false satisfaction and deceit
I fight to defeat the distractions
Material attachments and worldy passions
I'm askin' myself: am I egotistical and selfish
Or truly nothing, selfless?
(I got a question)
(I got a question)

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
