is the quest for power a justified pursuit?

im hustle-fied in Anaheim, fam resemble a coup
rappins taboo, like 'gangsta' not Langston
Hughes 
im paintin paper with no rules
& fightin peppered propaganda'd news
slanted views, perception skewed
gas so much, i cant get the whip to move
thought is transportation
so i fly like the raven do,
keep your mind in safe haven
regardless what your paper do.
the art is saving you.
cause days erase, they flew.
go to where your soul is safe and the ocean blue
I vibe where wells are dry.

where the truth hide.
Time pass by, make you ask why

half of them books in my youth lied.
She said, take them thoughts outside
so i wrote em on the wall - must obliged.
You made that calm kid switch sides-
see it thru an alchemist eyes .

I'm 5000, dowsing my sorrows creep to my ride

man i ain't blind, your crime life lookin gaudy
news lopsided, mama screaming oh lordy.
