Main Source - Hellavision Lyrics
* 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 realityI'm like Wesley Snipes, I act without a salaryCause I don't need nobody sayin "Lights, Camera, Action!"I act on reaction***** what you see on televisionCause nowadays all of us live in the hellavisionOn every single channel it's the same old saneBrothers' poppin their brainOr gettin wrecked at a soccer gameSix brothers fallin victim to the streetAfter mad ? tribe vibes rollin in the black jeepEvery other channel spent its money on the talk showsFrom Oprah to Horazo, everybody in New York knowsBut when a brother gets realThey make the story oppositeAnd try to offer niggas raw deals(Chorus:)Television tells lies to the visionThe world's a prisonWe're livin in hellavision(Verse 2:)Every day your lie to me is dramaBut not the type of drama that my T.V. showsBecause it makes the drama calmerWhen a lady's caught cheatinShe sets with the next manAnd doesn't even catch a ass-beatinReality check - that's what the T.V. saidCause in real life it's two to the *****in headSamedy Sam fillin bugs with slugsWild ? is cookin up these deadly drugsBart Simpson is cursin up for stormAnd children love this shit man, come onI see kids that say bringin guns to schoolTen year old crack heads and that ain't coolMy four year old daughter curses worse than BartStraight from my heart, it's tearin me apart(Chorus)(Verse 3:)And now, hip hop is labelled as a violencerLike everyone who rhymes packs a gat with the silencerEvery other ? hip hopper goes to prisonOver some dumb shit or for the real life livinBut who's to know what we've been goin throughWhen all you see is one side of usThe side the T.V. be showing youYou never hear about the stress or the workOr the hard times we had or hip hop was getting jerkedYou only see us in the limelightBut when the night comes, we're always linked to crime, right?Man - what I've been through is strifeYo - they could make fifty movies of my mother*****in lifeAnd there's a million like meThe people you don't seeWhen you watch your everyday T.V.(Chorus)
