Invisible Man

Invisible Man - Public Enemy (公眾之敵)/Paris/MC Ren/Dead Prez

I came from a place i forgot

I woke up in the parking lot far from a meal and a cot

On the corner where all the streets got the same name

Maybe my brain's on the brink of insane

Pain between the papers while sleeping on the train

This the land of milk and honey know what i'm sayin

The invisible man times three

Black down and out out standing on a corner no doubt

Now a nation of homeless sleeping in bus stations

Another win for the pilgrims who said no more haitians

As i proceed someone to feed me is what i need

Three blocks of dealers tryin to hit me off with some w**d

Yeah avenues and boulevards hungry as a f**ker

Hope to get a ride from a trucker aiyyo man

Everybody know i ain't no sucker

Every time i used to drop thirty at the rucker that's it

Away from the crazy kids in generation wrecked

Dissin pyramids while praisin projects

Walk past old folks getting no respect

Calling young folks a bunch a no good rejects

And i walk on

An eye for an eye

I can't recognize the man in the mirror

Is it i it is i

Now who this cat i'm looking at

Cause i've been waiting so long

To get where i'm goin

An eye for a eye in this country tis of thee

Now how the hell can i be free

And who this cat i'm looking at

Cause i've been lost so long without anybody knowin

So i move on uh huh and i walk on yeah yeah

Past the preachers and

The pimps getting their talk on say word

Why do home gotta be where the negative roam

To be or not to be so i roll alone

I'm trapped within this skin and these bones

Amongst temporary kings on cellular phones

Can i last as i walk past

Mad cigarette billboards and malt liquor ads

Walking on da bottles and potato chip bags

Everyone i see got the nerve to brag

Where they from what they got and don't own squat

Disrespect where they from and

You might get shot click click boom

Zombies askin me what the latest bomb be

You shoulda shot the f**kin

Sheriff and the f**kin deputy g

For okayin the ** trade and lettin it be

But i know prison for me is an industry

So i walk heard the best things in life be free

Didn't god make this land

And the air that we breathe

Not for the homeless don't give a damn about me

In the mirror somebody else is starin at me

Maybe prison is the skin i'm within

All this time i been sufferin

Can't fix it with a bufferin

Plus they said i'll never work in

This town again god damn

So i keep on walking yeah

An eye for an eye

I can't recognize the man in the mirror

Is it i it is i

Now who this cat i'm looking at

Cause i've been waiting so long

To get where i'm goin

An eye for a eye in this country tis of thee

Now how the hell can i be free

And who this cat i'm looking at

Cause i've been lost so long without anybody knowin

Lil dayday is big day and just did time

Seen him standing on the unemployment line

Which collided with the line of the health clinic

I seen crazy stacy her a** standing up in it

No more welfare they cut her medicaid

Damn my momma used to do her braids

I keep walking so they don't see me

But i doubt if they doing much better than me

So i walk on never take the planet for granted

I paved the concrete asphalt and granite

I walked past three brothers sittin on the porch

With a yard of dirt and littered with newports

Talking how they coming up while they sittin on they a**

As i walk past em i'm the target of they laughs

And one said let's get him for his f**kin stash

As i walked fast past the other yards with grass

Had a little cash i tried to make it last

From a few deals i made from cleanin windshields

I ran like a rally they caught me in the alley

Can't get out the ghetto from new york to cali

I thought i had nothing til i felt the knife

And now i ain't even got a life
