From A Distance Markis Precise (Ft. Talib Kweli)

[Verse 1]
From a distance, I can tell a slave from a master
Avoiding all distasters 'cause I be thinking much faster
From a distance, I can see that Russia tryna hack us
Sarah Palin can see Russia from Alaska
From a distance, I can see the change in the horizon
Can you hear me now? I'm like Verizon
From a distance, you can see the smoke when it's rising
And when you see the smoke, there's fire
From a distance, we fire off a shot for the resistors
Participating resistance by merely existing
From a distance, the enemies of freedom tryna defeat us
Tryna bleed us, but freedom in the vein like intravenous
From a distance, they still tryna pick off all the leaders
But put so much distance in between us, they lookin' over their shoulders
From a distance, you see an argument with a wise man and a fool
If you can't tell who's who, you should come a little closer

[Chorus]
Yo they tryin' me, why do they lie to me
I be all that I can be
I feelin' all type of free, got soldiers to ride with me
As far as the eye can see
So you should think twice before testing your life
Ay yo they definitely try to run up
They sealin' they fate, when you're dealin' with race
I'm a long distance runner
