Features* Mikey D as the rapper instead of the Large Professor (Verse
1 ):Now
I'm a flip the track and bring you back to reality I'm
like Wesley Snipes I, act without a salary Cause
I don't need nobody sayin "Lights Camera, Action, "!I
act on reaction F
k**what you see on television Cause
nowadays all of us live in the hellavision On
every single channel it's the same old sane Brothers'
poppin their brain Or
gettin wrecked at a soccer game Six
brothers fallin victim to the street After
mad Tribe? vibes rollin in the black jeep Every
other channel spent it's money on the talk shows From
Oprah to Horazo everybody, in New York knows But
when a brother gets real They
make the story opposite And
try to offer n s****raw deals (Chorus
):Television
tells lies to the vision The
world's a prison We're
livin in hellavision (Verse
2 ):Every
day your lie to me is drama But
not the type of drama that my T V. Shows. Because
it makes the drama calmer When
a lady's caught cheatin She
sets with the next man And
doesn't even catch a a -beatin**Reality
check - that's what the T V. Said. Cause
in real life it's two to the fuckin head Samedy
Sam fillin bugs with slugs Wild
Is? cookin up these deadly drugs Bart
Simpson is cursin up for storm And
children love this s t**man come, on I
see kids that say bringin guns to school Ten
year old crack heads and that ain't cool My
four year old daughter curses worse than Bart Straight
from my heart it's, tearin me apart [Chorus
]:(Verse
3 ):And
now hip, hop is labelled as a violencer Like
everyone who rhymes packs a gat with the silencer Every
other Hip? hopper goes to prison Over
some dumb s t**or for the real life livin But
who's to know what we've been goin through When
all you see is one side of us The
side the T V. Be. showing you You
never hear about the stress or the work Or
the hard times we had or hip hop was getting jerked You
only see us in the limelight But
when the night comes we're, always linked to crime right, Man?
- what I've been through is strife Yo
- they could make fifty movies of my motherfuckin life And
there's a million like me The
people you don't see When
you watch your everyday T V. [Chorus.
