On the Fence
Can't be part of the war 'cause it's outside
Young black homie in his prime from the Southside
What they don't get is that I never chose sides
Most of them already think I'm on both sides
That's why I'm tryna tell them I'm on neither
Clearly cultured, clean, a believer
Tryna tempt me with this sexy mamacita
When I get me a real girl, she's a keeper
I'mma keep (while I sip) lemonade, I'm a thinker
Tactical, practical, called a rapper reaper
Fine with the lines and rhymes but the times that I'm not're not a lot, prolly don't even exist
Mostly calm but they're tryna get me pissed
Seems his face wants a meeting with my fist
Not like this, I'm not pissed, but might turn into a beast
So just please let this peace
Reign
I'm not a killer but please do not tempt me 'cause I've got a formula flowing through my veins
Equation for murder, but please do not bother with trying decode it 'cause it'll bring pain
Pain indescribable, fairly unbearable, good thing I'm flexible, keeping my cool
I'm like a monk, I'm not a punk or drunk, no funk and I'm not a fool
I've decided (that I won't)
I'll stay silent (though I don't)
I'll be quiet, keep my mouth shut
Not be violent, but be blunt
Apathetic (that, I am)
Ah, pathetic? (Say what you can)
They don't get it, it's frustrating
So forget it, this's the plan
This is the plan, fam, won't "do what I can"
I won't get involved, 'cause I'm not a fan
Of those type of things, not that kind of man
You think I'm concerned, don't care if you stan
Me or my bros, the whole lot of us
Talking 'bout flows, got a whole lotta those
Stand by your word, strike a heroic pose
Whatever, this is the path that I chose
This is the path that I chose
These're my lines and my flows
Bet nobody knows
Guess you could say it's untold
'Cause I keep it to myself
That's just how I am
But I'm on nobody's side
Keeping my feelings inside
Wear my heart on my sleeve
Is something I just wouldn't do
'Cause I done been made a fool
For attempting it
I flipped the switch
Ignored the itch
Fought against the urge
Won against them
Not again
Will I be in the dark
Don't speak, just act
All I speak're facts
Then again
I am not afraid so-
I've decided (that I won't)
I'll stay silent (though I don't)
I'll be quiet, keep my mouth shut
Not be violent, but be blunt
Apathetic (that, I am)
Ah, pathetic? (Say what you can)
They don't get it, it's frustrating
So forget it, this's the plan
