Default X Factor - 07-02-08, 11:29 PM

In an age where racial difference is no longer spectacular
Everything white’s coated in a black vernacular
Blacks become white just to show the X factor
Showing off their influences like Diamonds from Africa

Black and white only exists in a camera lens
Grey areas are the only snaps that aren’t supposed to offend
But develops negatives because of the colour blend

They say dementia is better than cure
Dig a hold in the Ozone
Use E T to advertise it as a folk’s home for stars
Mars works and plays for peace the world over
Yet war crashes against time like waves against the white cliffs of Dover
Scatter Gun politics is the new supernova

While NASA Super flies, the masons control the plane
Inciting clouds of derision as religion collides with rage
Petitions online set the stage for the media play on hype
So they fight with night sticks beating the light
Denying Godly existence then Lord’s Prayer recites
Demanding heavenly intervention because disaster bites

Now if the construction sight is deadly how we gonna look for life
When the bullet of our hate is readily lined
For the fortune of this world has corruption rife
And for the face we try to keep we’re going to pay the price

Our ego’s only live till Wesley Snipes
Man beats himself down trying to hit the heights
Everything is trying to alienate our human rights
Saying come act like robots if you’ve nothing to hide
If you don’t dance with the devil you wont talk no jive
But your moves on a level will be solitary confined
In time the choreography will only move in lines

So I’m gonna take this time to get my routine tight
For the Indian flute may rule the night
I may not have a tune to move all human plight
But I have the X Factor and I’ll use him right
