Nowadays - Us3

Can’t comprehend, dividends end friendships

Infinite kinships, dismissed amidst dead presidents exist

Poor peeps is pissed, the rich benefit taxes

Passes all access lavish, extracting cabbage from famished rabbits

Crime runnin' rampant attracting active young minds

Habit cash a magnet, magnetizing addicts havin'

And who haven’t ends, back-stabbing friends

Women jockin' who got it, no Benz, no yacht kid

Nah, kid pockets get clocked, kid, before ya knock it, uh

Nowadays we’re raised to praise it, save it if phrase fits

Unappraised gaze enslaved by crave depraving shit

And yet we livin', sittin' within a world where greed has proceeded

The act of givin' and it’s a given

Nowadays it seems like we in the last phase, maybe it’s me

Nowadays it seems like we in the last phase, could it be?

Yeah, sisters and brothers, where’s the love of one another?

Discovering others of us dumber prejudice

To color, creed and religion

Driven hate within innocent children

Stop the killin', instill goodwill, we all be chillin'

Building, then seal it, surrealist revealing

Since the wheel hit, hearts conceal it

When death hits other men, how many feel it?

Envy alive and rising, hatred has mankind declining

Keep in mind when time ends, if orange as fossil findings

Why then unkind when combined?

Vibin' peacefully is needful, regal or not, people created

Equal ain’t no sequel, believe to exist the positive needed

As evil retrieves negative energy and feeds it baby peep it

Nowadays it seems like we in the last phase, maybe it’s me

Nowadays it seems like we in the last phase, could it be?

Life ain’t twice a lifetime, dice rollin', survivin'

Confined in gunfire, crime thrivin', and babies whining

Narcotics, sirens, entwined aids-related death findings

Eying lab mice with virus, mesmerizing minds of science

Blood pressure rising, unwinding

While sippin' what could be blinding

Genocide’s in cog in spots we unlikely to find in

Combined with stress, sublime bottom line forming a hybrid

It’s like, kid, you gotta fight it son

Weak lose and strong survive it

As pushers lure without a pause, what you diggin'

Digs in it’s claws

Dimes on corners offer draws, the score’s uneven

Leavin' me feelin' someone’s cheatin'

What we teachin' in schools been used for the wrong reasons

Defeating the purpose

Nowadays it seems like we in the last phase, maybe it’s me

Nowadays it seems like we in the last phase, could it be?
