Under the Sun

[Chorus]

that which is done that will be done

and nothing is new thats under the sun

that which is done that will be done

and nothing is new thats under the sun

[Verse 1]

I buried my possesions in the name of poverty

because its got to be vain so I adopted modesty

honesty the quest for knowledge through the questions I ask

through the concepts I grasp threw wisdom out the window

collecting four by the kilo put in straight into my steelo

said if they knew what we know they would be enlightened people

I've seen the works of master builders that I've wanted to do the same

raise a temple to the clouds and dedicate it to my name

but emceeing is my claim

putting up the heads to shame

I want to be like David Stern and make the people love this game

but its vain plain and simply as my footsteps echo simpty

the rhythm of my inners beating gently left me empty

any endeavor that sever the absolute Christ

the boards of life thrown into the calamity avanty

I stand to be in judgement for every act

even the ? understood that I don't choose to chase cyclones

see I've shown up on the mic and crushed a few emcees to dust

late at night come on reflection in a fit of disgust

but He is Just and Just wants to defend you from sin

you failed to catch the gail forces when you try to chase the wind

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

what's the purpose of life anyways

the mile of junk that there is and this is it

get placed here against my will even before I had one

dropped out of nowhere and forced inheirly to survive

and given the name son

me I'm sad about the uselessness this world has for me

programmed to view life in the way

in which I won't be happy unless I have everything for me

but I can't be whole

what do you get if you collect everything the world has to offer but forget

all about your soul

its all the same everyday for years and years

around this one you get made get born grows up then soon you having your son

who's got to go through it all agin

programmed to worship all the trends

trying so hard to be everything to every friend

son seek life seek the truth and pray that God will open your mind

these are all basic instuctions you must look and then you'll find

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

how what when where why

sometimes I wonder man run your plan to your brother man I'll try to understand

state your case all the things you face rappers lie two ways

will you take us to new places or are you on a paper chase

it makes my day when original thought blesses the game

but pretty much the cycle turns again and everything is the same

beneath the rays of the sun until the last day is done

its a freeway of replays no matter where its from

some think its new but I can feel the deja vu

if you beleive it or you don't that doesn't really make it true

what was and will be since the Ancient of Days I AM

mics play but we forget to give the praise

you're wicked ways aren't original yo you learned it from the serpent

confirmed it on my knees that you'll come clean then detergent

you can't hide like a hermit and buy your future from a merchant

you reep what you sow and your destiny you earn it

kids still getting murdered seems the trends are everlasting

the rich are getting richer and the times forever passing

shape times I jack your lives and the world is still collasping

so where you's ever after thats the question that I'm asking
