culture power45 ft. iomos marad, thaione davis, and profound – “middleman”
[emcee(s): iomos marad, thaione davis, and profound]
[producer(s): thaione davis]
[verse 1: iomos marad]
see, i done been through intersections and overp-sses of life
no trust for those singing they’re the keepers of light. i see
most pastors and preachers no different from drug dealers
in the name of god, hustling, claiming that they can heal us
lies stuck to their jaws, born with a forked tongue
wearing a bad suit, the bearers of bad fruit
i can’t break even though they’re bending me to
slanted truth with no proof, trying to gain respect
saying, “we’re in this together,” while memory is select
masters of the sendoff, my game’s an isolation
have you thinking they’re supporting, but, really, they’re extorting
your talent and your gifts for their own benefit
talking from a four-fifth to give their words some grip
but them words tug and pull like the bite of a pit bull
it’s all bull. they’re just simple man with no pull
they say, “god is the truth,” but i don’t see him in them
they probably say the same of me, but they don’t really know me
fronting like they really care, but i can see through baloney
got no time for these pastors trying to break down facts
they’re only simpletons and middlemen that want to distract
[verse 2: thaione davis]
this middleman ain’t never really had a middle plan
i’m middle ground like a stereo sound, surrounded by the foun-
-dation. i taught ‘em how to master patience
they keep me on the low, but stay in conversation
the haters? they can only fuel my concentration
see, the rhyme is never consecrated although i’m con-
-frontated ‘cause can’t a n-gga who stated they’re faded made it
produced, written, and debated. ok, the cadence
is clear ‘cause i ain’t smoke in, like, almost a year
or is probably ‘cause i just don’t care? you see me when i choose
to be seen, diligently doing my thing
otherwise, i might reside in the back of your dream
smacking sense up in your team, leadership is by example
when i’m cutting up, dicing up, slicing up the sample
ain’t no such thing as can’t listen [?]
more than you can ever conceive. believe in yourself
see, that’s the key to my health, and i don’t even really need to be
felt. i’m on the level where the cards is dealt
and all house bets is on these vets: iomos and
connect, and every time we come through, it’s correct
respect
[verse 3: profound]
do your due diligence, check the resilience
and who’s actually k!lling it. i’ll speak from the soul
of the people’s grief. every day, people hold
your speech, hope for relief. don’t stand in between
me making my son a man and expect me to pledge
allegiance to stolen land, a broken hand that feeds you
teach you what not to be. who’s the middleman
between the creator and prophecy? who’s the middleman
between the bullets and the rocks you see? ghetto colonies
deal with the devil’s monotony, logically travel
walk with a bow and arrow. the road is lonely and narrow
so hold your double-barrel. through the eye of the sparrow
i’m thorough—can’t you see? just my seeds by looking
at me. true indeed, they don’t call me prof’ for nothing
keep it fat like glutton, build with actual facts
and stack ‘em into something, scr-pe across the sky
for my piece of the pie. like talib, it’s just to
“get by.” nah, just to get high
or just to be fly? like talib, it’s just to
“get by”
