letra de the machine and the arcade - bridge the gap

intro: 2pac interview
these little kids at the gas station
it impressed me that these little kids was like 14
and they pumping people’s gas
instead of taking the money like i would be, that’s the easy way
they pumping people’s gas and you know people is cruel
they’ll give you a quarter after watching you inhale vapors and everything
they give you a quarter for pumping gas
and i gave the little kids like 50 bucks they was like “ohh! ohh! thank you!”
but that teaches them the worst
that teaches them that when you work hard and be responsible, there’s a reward for that
and i think that, just like i did that, corporations can do that
and on a big level you know
just like imagine if a corporation just sent a representative and said
go hang out in that playground, and when you tell me you see the one
whatever kid is the coolest and shares the ball or lets the most people play basketball
we gon give him a scholarship
you know how many things – you know – cause that would bring hope
you know what i’m saying? there’s no hope
and there’s not going to be too many more christmases, without hope
you know what i’m saying? not to make it just about christmas
there’s not going to be too many more days, without hope

verse 1: adam b. free
the rose that grew from concrete; i’m a petal falling
every time my phone rings it’s the kettle calling
i stay heavy hauling, never with the metal
i’m never balling, everyday i’m just f-cking crawling
write hypotheses, descendant of hippocrates
i rock the mic like i’m possessed, apostrophe
shocking these critics, spitting what is hard to see
sp-ced out, probably cause there is a star in me
part hydrogen, i’m fusing with the helium
connected to the gods through munching this mycelium
completely on a higher plane of existence
it’s off limits to all planes in existence
what’s a wishlist? i deal with realities
f-ck this sh-t – ceos and salaries
they pushing tragedies to the back burner
distract herds, but the facts prove i’m a fast learner

hook (2x): adam b. free
it runs on slaves for a minimum wage
it’s got your soul in a cage but the minister’s paid
every minute i’m literally afraid, but…
you gotta play, the machine and the arcade

verse 2: k.r.a
ain’t concerning with that literal, i’m on that metaphysical
said all my mans is physical, we fighting to live
you see the plight of the kids? what kind of cypher is this?
they trading blows back and forth like they lighting a spliff
they need enlightenment, a psychic told me i should spit on mics
and then i pour my heart out on this beat, i could give em life again
they need a vicodin or better yet an ibuprofen
i be flowing like the red sea, section, cut em open
leave em soaking from the words that i have spoken
j.r. tolkien when i’m toking, thought i told you i ain’t trolling
they get to rolling up, and try controlling us
feeding us that potent stuff, i told em i had sold enough
k!ll em with the coldest touch, oh i see em slowing up
you ain’t got that drive like us, i’ll show you how to hold the clutch
it’s bridge the gap, they give us daps
we give em back, if you ain’t down then hear the brrrrap
and fade to black, black, black, black…..

hook (2x)
it runs on slaves for a minimum wage
it’s got your soul in a cage but the minister’s paid
every minute i’m literally afraid, but…
you gotta play, the machine and the arcade
