21 Grams (Featuring Vanessa Liftig) Lyrics

21st century
my people working 24 - 7 for 24 carats of gold, with 21 grams of soul - I'm 28 years old. By the time you hear this rhyme I might have turned 29, cus time flies at 21000 feet. I'm in a hurry spit twenty some rhymes per beat, cus pretty soon the human race'll be obsolete, and all our so called leaders do is just talk so sweet.
The facts forbidden, my tracks are hidden. They're flows laxative but lacks the rhythm - talking 'bout economics, politics plus religion. It all equals wath they want us to give them. And now they stand there getting theirs, but getting nothing. They probably can't spell love - only more production, fat suction, porn and hardcore corruption. But I'm obstructing their law, so what's up then? Hit me with 41 shots from a Glock 21 handgun - my grandma said she had a hell of a grandson, with 21 albums if anyone asks. They took my life but couldn't fin my...
21 grams of soul, and when each man must hold - and stand his own, till he dead and gone... It's hard to keep the faith so all my people say: Only love can ease the pain. X2
Some people carry the weight of the world on their shoulders, with so much grace you pray for them not to fall over. Some fold under the pressure, depressed by heavy drugs, some get the load off their chest with lead slugs. Some let their best years pass, stressing for tons of cash, then pass away with nothing but 21 grams! And some believe FOXnews, some in religious rules... like entrance at the pearly gates was for us to choose?
Some wanna control my body and soul, so they told us we could never make it on our own - they dead wrong! Some wanna be picture perfect amputees, weight watching anorectics - blinded by TV...
Some can't sleep 'cus pounding heartbeat remind em how milligrams to the vein would make the pain leave. Others walk lighthearted 'til the day they drop, we're singing - all you need is love, but all we got is...
CHORUS
21st century lifestyle western way. Where the best gets paid and the rest get slayed. If not yesterday you gonna be dead this day. My people crying out: There's gotta be a better way! Cus you know They do everything they can to feed you nonsense but the beat is pumping so yo we need nothing more than love and a warming sun. When it's cold outside you and me form as one and live on. This song is just so and so long but we'll be here 25 to life and beyond. I see it coming clear with perfect 20 20 vision. Evil souls try to murder my ambition. but the shit is destined from the beginning. Can't do nothing about it and in the end the weight of your total knowledge is none but the sun of all souls probably weighs a ton...
