Mix the mix master DJ play dat beat

Won't you play it for me

In the mix mister, ha, forward

The second somebody dies somebody else is born

People are celebrating while other people morn

Home may be home to you but to me it's foreign

Even the matador don't pull the bull by the horns

One man's enemy is another man's friend

One man's poison is another man's medicine

So let us sit, let us sit, and let us view

The changing of the guard

So it's so hard to keep it true (so hard to keep it true)

It's the balance of the scales it can't be challenged or expelled

Soon as somebody lost somebody else prevails

Someone is quiet, at the same time someone yells (Yeah, Yeah)

Half full or half empty, water in the well

Chorus

It's the half and half hypothesis, the 50/50 theory

Eerie as it may seem

Check your Balance Beam 2X

Yo check, check

Yo, yo, check your Balance Beam with a feather and a rock

And whether or not your find the answer is really not the plot

See it's like love (love) and hate

The same emotion, different weight (and hate)

People love to hate

So I know you know just how this all relates

It's the posa- and the nega-tive

Mini and the mega live

Arm a leg a leg a arm headed by a nigga

Like big and small or short and tall

Night and day and so on

Some people are bashful

Some people just love to get they flow on (love to get they flow on)

So here goes one to grow on

I'm a go on and on and on

Til the principles are laid out (and on)

The scales of justice weighted out (and on)

Til your memory starts to fade out (and on)

And your game of life is played out

Got to balance out the power don't we?

Balance your emotions

Push and pull positions like the moon pulls on the ocean

Balance on one foot that's equilibrium

Opposites attract and retract that's a fact

I'm a Libra ya'll

180 degrees but not that hot

So whether or not you find the answer is really not the plot

Because giving is receiving

And seeing is believing

And the solar system rotates so harmonious and even

It's perfectly balanced

Break

Some people say life is about taking chances

Choices and decisions (Choices and decisions)

Voices and opinions

Politics and religion (Politics and religion)

Clues to the past and cash and keys to the future

It's a possibility and probability on who's gone execute yo ass

Some slow and analytical

Some quick fast on the dash

Like heads or tails but the heads usually leads the tail

So I tell my tells from the head cause there embedded inside my cells

Real quick let me tell bout the fact I do know

Things'll even out

You disbelieve or doubt

Or even shout or leave it in your mouth

Now, how you gone reason with grandmother nature

Running mother earth

Controlled by father time who's the chaser

It's living and dying homey (Living and dying)

Laughing and crying dude (Laughing and crying)

Trying or lying my brother (Trying or lying)

Walking or flying fool (Walk or fly)

Now half of you are gone find the time to shine

The other half gone find crime

Money, weed, wine

Til it's to late (Oh nah!) in a disillusion state (It's over man!)

Of mind (Too late)

I just found my peace of mind now they want a piece of mine (Too late)

Too late (Nah man, we closed!)

In the disillusion state of mind (It's over man!)

I just found me peace of mind now they want a piece of mine

The orthodox is the unorthodox

They just got you on the names the insane

And the sane are the same

It's a damn shame

So many people aim is so lame

And their gain is so minimal

Caught up in a subliminal

With pleasure there's pain

Is water for the flames?

The wild and the tame

The style still remains

If you use the right side of your brain

Instead of going against the grain

You can penetrate the vein

To the point where what remains

Is a stain of this universal thang

That we call Balance, Balance, Balance

Break
