The Agenda

THE AGENDA

INORAN feat. Black Thought & DJ Krush

The Agenda for the moment,

Seek surrender from opponent

Recruit more for student enrollment

I travel the globe because I own it

Yo,you don't want it? You don't want it

You know you really don't want it

The Agenda for the monent,

Seek surrender from opponent

Recruit more for student enrollment

I travel the globe because I own it

Ah, you don't want it when confronted

You know you really don't want it

My job description is a lyricist for hire

My vocal's a passport that never expire

The crowd loud like fifty rounds of gun fire

Screamin out "The Roots" while I'm balanced on the mic wire

An expert at this profession of the sound session

In '87 I linked up with Question

Eleven years later we shared crop for Geffen

In musical hell, but hip-hop's forever heaven

My thoughts, interwoven and deep like Beethoven

This fowl world so full of shit it's like a backed up colon

That's swollen with minds that got stolen

Fake police chiefs can't control their patrol men

The torture, blood flow like bodies of water

And fathers sexually assault bodies of daughters

It's out of sync, outta order like a puzzle

Within the hustle of the unseen hand that holds trouble

In the Game of Life, it's difficult to roll a double

When tryin times, take lives and separate couples

Kids thinkin they grown, tellin they moms "Fuck you"

Under they breath, we're livin in the last times left

Peep the imagery it's stretched across the sky like a canvas

And we're the artists beneath vigorous brush strokes of darkness

Time to hold it down, let's spark this

The Agenda for the moment,

Seek surrender from opponent

Recruit more for student enrollment

I travel the world because I own it

Yo, you don't want it? You don't want it

You know you really don't want it

The Agenda for the monent,

Seek surrender from opponent

Recruit more for student enrollment

I travel the globe because I own it

Ah, you don't want it, you confront it

You know you really don't want it

My definition is a lyricist for hire

You couldn't have a clue, what's about to transpire

The books I buy, is like arms I acquire

The Fifth, similar to ghetto gospel choir

We explore the whole states plus abroad

In flight once, I dreamed I was a prisoner of war

Four corner corridor, ceiling without floor

From what I could see the drop was like a mile or more

To the bottom

Electrical shock for rhymes

I said "I don't got em"

I guess it kinda presented a problem

From what I understood, they said "Let him go"

I woke up during descent into London Heathrow

An hour then passed fuckin with border patrol

Finally got out, I'm linking with my people

To the studio to spread the information

Cuz in days of frustration it's time for education

From Oakland to Osaka destination

The Roots be du journ, check the translation

In the dictionary of hiphop topics

Far from ebonics, murder with haikus and sonnets

Yo, my philly squad keeping tight heed

While the unaware proceed to take heed

The Agenda for the moment,

Seek surrender from opponent

Recruit more for student enrollment

I travel the world because I own it

Yo, you don't want it? You don't want it

You know you really don't want it

The Agenda for the monent,

Seek surrender from opponent

Recruit more for student enrollment

I travel the globe because I own it

Ah, you don't want it, you confront it

You know you really don't want it
