The Balance

Aceyalone


Mix the mix master DJ play dat beat 
Won't you play it for me 
In the mix mister, ha, forward 
The second somebody dies somebody else is born 
People are celebrating while other people morn 
Home may be home to you but to me it's foreign 
Even the matador don't pull the bull by the horns 
One man's enemy is another man's friend 
One man's poison is another man's medicine 
So let us sit, let us sit, and let us view 
The changing of the guard 
So it's so hard to keep it true (so hard to keep it true) 
It's the balance of the scales it can't be challenged or expelled 
Soon as somebody lost somebody else prevails 
Someone is quiet, at the same time someone yells (Yeah, Yeah) 
Half full or half empty, water in the well 
Chorus 
It's the half and half hypothesis, the 50/50 theory 
Eerie as it may seem 
Check your Balance Beam 2X 
Yo check, check 
Yo, yo, check your Balance Beam with a feather and a rock 
And whether or not your find the answer is really not the plot 
See it's like love (love) and hate 
The same emotion, different weight (and hate) 
People love to hate 
So I know you know just how this all relates 
It's the posa- and the nega-tive 
Mini and the mega live 
Arm a leg a leg a arm headed by a nigga 
Like big and small or short and tall 
Night and day and so on 
Some people are bashful 
Some people just love to get they flow on (love to get they flow on) 
So here goes one to grow on 
I'm a go on and on and on 
Til the principles are laid out (and on) 
The scales of justice weighted out (and on) 
Til your memory starts to fade out (and on) 
And your game of life is played out 
Got to balance out the power don't we? 
Balance your emotions 
Push and pull positions like the moon pulls on the ocean 
Balance on one foot that's equilibrium 
Opposites attract and retract that's a fact 
I'm a Libra ya'll 
180 degrees but not that hot 
So whether or not you find the answer is really not the plot 
Because giving is receiving 
And seeing is believing 
And the solar system rotates so harmonious and even 
It's perfectly balanced 
Break 
Some people say life is about taking chances 
Choices and decisions (Choices and decisions) 
Voices and opinions 
Politics and religion (Politics and religion) 
Clues to the past and cash and keys to the future 
It's a possibility and probability on who's gone execute yo ass 
Some slow and analytical 
Some quick fast on the dash 
Like heads or tails but the heads usually leads the tail 
So I tell my tells from the head cause there embedded inside my cells 
Real quick let me tell bout the fact I do know 
Things'll even out 
You disbelieve or doubt 
Or even shout or leave it in your mouth 
Now, how you gone reason with grandmother nature 
Running mother earth 
Controlled by father time who's the chaser 
It's living and dying homey (Living and dying) 
Laughing and crying dude (Laughing and crying) 
Trying or lying my brother (Trying or lying) 
Walking or flying fool (Walk or fly) 
Now half of you are gone find the time to shine 
The other half gone find crime 
Money, weed, wine 
Til it's to late (Oh nah!) in a disillusion state (It's over man!) 
Of mind (Too late) 
I just found my peace of mind now they want a piece of mine (Too late) 
Too late (Nah man, we closed!) 
In the disillusion state of mind (It's over man!) 
I just found me peace of mind now they want a piece of mine 
The orthodox is the unorthodox 
They just got you on the names the insane 
And the sane are the same 
It's a damn shame 
So many people aim is so lame 
And their gain is so minimal 
Caught up in a subliminal 
With pleasure there's pain 
Is water for the flames? 
The wild and the tame 
The style still remains 
If you use the right side of your brain 
Instead of going against the grain 
You can penetrate the vein 
To the point where what remains 
Is a stain of this universal thang 
That we call Balance, Balance, Balance 
Break
