Friends and Neighbors - Insight, Mr. Lif

Let me tell you 'bout this nigga named Franz, he had lots of plans

Involving pots and pans, with fiends for fans

He was a real mean one, traded all his niggaz in for a green thumb

Pose able, all weight was unloadable, despite his deformity all guns are hold

able

Had his boys on some soldier role

They were risking they lives saying they actions are notable,

Torn apart for a purple heart

This brother had a strong start, but the kid lack street smarts

Hey meet James, he works at Ames to get a discount on M&M's video games

He said his co-workers were lames, without brains

Cause he had struck a couple those for which he had aimed

This nigga used to buy grams from Franz uptown

Before he was buck bounced, connection is fucked now

Six years pass and he’s still there, helping this old lady with the mean stare

Shopping in a wheel chair, her name was Claire

But she changed it to Greta, to help avoid a stalker with a vendetta

The cat sent her ten letters, saying she was a hat to be backed in leather

And very soon in her living room he met her

Well dressed nightmare in a cashmere sweater

Blue Collar guy with some death in his eye

The tattoo was sitting high, right leg and her thigh

He just wanna see how you respond

when he give thrust to a knife from his powerful arm

And finally police chief officer brief

who received a phone call from the nearly deceased

He lost his gentle side at the homicide attempt

See now every single thought of murder is tempting

He couldn’t ask for a bigger day

the following week he spent his time staring at exhibit A A bloody knife that bore flesh and bone marrow

And just before he headed home to his wife Carroll

Reported suicide on the other side of town

Frantic mother claims little girl had fallen down

He’s on the scene seeing paramedics on the ground

Mom and daddy can’t move the boy hiding in his room and

His fellow officers are all trying to subdue her

Head shake in disbelief saying he ain’t human

Next time assuming that the media excluded

Displayed on the (?)

Your spirit’s absorbed in generators and tanks, data banks

You’re retracing your steps and drew blanks

Look at all these lives to waste, it’s a dark space

Adrenaline starts to pump increasing your heart rate

You’re caught now, imagination has gone wild

You look into the mirror and then you tell me 'who art thou'

You got to be determined like (?) when he fought (?)

You’re brains been bust open cause this is a hard trial

No answer just a mental cancer, before you choke I hope you get a chance to Feel fear, cause this is a real scare

I’m giving you three seconds to tell us how we got here
