Disguise Lyrics

[Verse 1: Irv Da Phenom]
I I, logged on the world, started seen somebody shot dead
Right next to the video of a nigga who got head
From a young mother, with the child in the room
And who am I to judge her? I just wonder what it's doin'
To that young boy or girl as she watches
Her only role model, bobbin' up a stranger topless

I stopped to watch this, while pourin' chocolate
All over her body, she all up in the camera, droppin' it like it's hot
Almost forgot what I came here for
After I watched that nigga die, took his life, with them flames and smoke
Oh! No! Let's not forget about that bits where the police killin' the innocent over a little black kid's swag
In this life we live, I'm just tryin' to do the right thing, on some Spike Lee shit
Maybe spark a little change and incite these kids to
Stimulate their minds like some I.B. kids

[Hook: Irv Da Phenom]
I really wish that I could believe
That everything is gone be alright
But when you've seen all the things I've seen
You understand it's all a disguise

[Verse 2: Irv Da Phenom]
Uh, I get the feeling that we livin' in our last days
Wars across the world and
mother nature in her last phase
Turn to seein' it and it hard to make me have faith
Turn to the local news, they talkin' 'bout the price of gas raisin'

While I'm watching this I hear sirens outside my window
Ambulance and them cops, I'm just prayin' it ain't my kids though
With a, scholarship to the school of hard knocks and I promise I'm graduating
Most people won't even get past the intro and
Racism still alive and well, white girl kills a kid little time in jail but
Get caught fightin' dogs in the NFL
They gone lock your black ass up inside a cell for real

And it's hella cold, every time I wanna talk to my homie I gotta do it through the telephone
Cause they caught him husslin' tryin' to feed his kids
They locked him up and he ain't gettin' out until we hella old

[Hook]
