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
