Word to the Wise Oddisee

[Hook]
Running red lights cause there's nobody around
No one to hear my speakers, do they even make a sound?
Preaching to the choir, no one is there to see it
I don't talk about change, I just try to be it
That's word to the wise, word to the wise
That's word to the wise, word to the wise
That's word to the wise, word to the wise
That's word to the wise, word to the wise

[Verse 1]
You ever tried to bring some people with you
To a place you tryna get to
And all along the way that you cut a clearing
They sharpenin' sticks spearing to get you
And throwing at a rate that is faster than they'll forget you
I got a couple round me surrounding this very moment
Fear not I'm in the know of exactly who holds the pistol
Well here's a message for you if you're listening
I am the one that gave you the gun that's why you missing
And you can take your turn and check your engine
You, I gave you your start
A super monster only ended you, now go play your part
As I watch know-it-alls try to roll with the art
They going nowhere, no one know us we're smart
Prolly not, cause who really learns their lessons
Not mad at our own deceptions
Just angry cause we had in possession to holding weapons
Toss that burner and no further are you from a cause that turned you to a loss
Self murder, go!
