To Those Whom I Battled(Thanks 4 The Advantage)

by Erizo Li - Scorpio

In this world 
where we get ready to rumble
the forces of confrontation, confliction, and friction arise
there is never an escape
from squabbles and clashes
to shake, rattle, and battle
we all have to battle
we all need to battle
from Tijuana to Seattle
it's inevitable
there are always those who want to battle us
because they see something they want from us
suppress us to pacify us
plain and simply fear us

Like my naïve elementary classmates
who all desperately tried to gain mass appeal
through perceptions not real
and only liked to like
rocked Nike only for Mike
or bumped Madonna 
not Like a Virgin
perpetrating as grown ups
playing house like Dynasty
competing for a maturity
greedily backstabbing with a greater immaturity
thanks for letting me know
that it was ever so important
to be mindful of my surroundings
and that having more hunger and ambition
is the key to fueling my confidence
a truly grand sense
full of an immense intensity


Next up is you
that's right Lenny
you bastard!
while married to Poor Peggy
I saw you with Helly Smelly
psst...
flirting, grabbing her all over
and you said she's just a friend
please
you threw it all down the drain
cause you have no brain
How do you turn a family **** into a whorehouse?
by sleeping with someone else's spouse
that's how
and why sell out your friends for a woman that controls you
and has you whipped like the Dazz Band?
Why?
Cause you let her whip it
Alright
while she told you who you can like
and who you can't like
But thank you for teaching me what a real friend should be
I'll remember this next time someone tries to fuck me over
and take my money
just ask TLC

Through all these battles
despite our enemies
we only grow to know
that we must prepare for those
who want to take what truly belongs to us
Thanks to you
guards never go down
perceptions triumph over ignorance
and most important
we prepare our minds for anything
to be stimulated and free.......
