THE AGENDA
INORAN feat. Black Thought & DJ Krush

The Agenda for the moment,
Seek surrender from opponent
Recruit more for student enrollment
I travel the globe because I own it
Yo,you don't want it? You don't want it
You know you really don't want it
The Agenda for the monent,
Seek surrender from opponent
Recruit more for student enrollment
I travel the globe because I own it
Ah, you don't want it when confronted
You know you really don't want it

My job description is a lyricist for hire
My vocal's a passport that never expire
The crowd loud like fifty rounds of gun fire
Screamin out "The Roots" while I'm balanced on the mic wire
An expert at this profession of the sound session
In '87 I linked up with Question
Eleven years later we shared crop for Geffen
In musical hell, but hip-hop's forever heaven
My thoughts, interwoven and deep like Beethoven
This fowl world so full of shit it's like a backed up colon
That's swollen with minds that got stolen
Fake police chiefs can't control their patrol men
The torture, blood flow like bodies of water
And fathers sexually assault bodies of daughters
It's out of sync, outta order like a puzzle
Within the hustle of the unseen hand that holds trouble
In the Game of Life, it's difficult to roll a double
When tryin times, take lives and separate couples
Kids thinkin they grown, tellin they moms "Fuck you"
Under they breath, we're livin in the last times left
Peep the imagery it's stretched across the sky like a canvas
And we're the artists beneath vigorous brush strokes of darkness
Time to hold it down, let's spark this

The Agenda for the moment,
Seek surrender from opponent
Recruit more for student enrollment
I travel the world because I own it
Yo, you don't want it? You don't want it
You know you really don't want it
The Agenda for the monent,
Seek surrender from opponent
Recruit more for student enrollment
I travel the globe because I own it
Ah, you don't want it, you confront it
You know you really don't want it

My definition is a lyricist for hire
You couldn't have a clue, what's about to transpire
The books I buy, is like arms I acquire
The Fifth, similar to ghetto gospel choir
We explore the whole states plus abroad
In flight once, I dreamed I was a prisoner of war
Four corner corridor, ceiling without floor
From what I could see the drop was like a mile or more
To the bottom
Electrical shock for rhymes
I said "I don't got em"
I guess it kinda presented a problem
From what I understood, they said "Let him go"
I woke up during descent into London Heathrow
An hour then passed fuckin with border patrol
Finally got out, I'm linking with my people
To the studio to spread the information
Cuz in days of frustration it's time for education
From Oakland to Osaka destination
The Roots be du journ, check the translation
In the dictionary of hiphop topics
Far from ebonics, murder with haikus and sonnets
Yo, my philly squad keeping tight heed
While the unaware proceed to take heed

The Agenda for the moment,
Seek surrender from opponent
Recruit more for student enrollment
I travel the world because I own it
Yo, you don't want it? You don't want it
You know you really don't want it
The Agenda for the monent,
Seek surrender from opponent
Recruit more for student enrollment
I travel the globe because I own it
Ah, you don't want it, you confront it
You know you really don't want it
