"I know I'm on the right path To who I'm gonna be at last Don't rush me nigga I know I'm wrong and right At the same time, both I'm the dark and light And they say life needs everything to live At the same time I got everything to give Just don't rush me"

Yea, it was only released in Japan. I found it while searching for tracks by Natural Resource. Definitely went under the radar (at least outside of Japan.)

The whole verse is cool actually. This is from Flying Pupa's - 'Can It', from back when Jean Grae used to be called What? What?

"Somebody's followin' Jean / Now somethin's creepin' up 'tween the shadows and the city lights, and it's mean / I can't sleep no more / Can't eat, can't keep food inside of my jaw / Pardon me y'all"

I don't know. Too bad if thats true. I guess she was never promoted well. Music execs probably tested her albums with critics that didn't know real music, so she never had a well promoted album. Probably the same reason all we hear now are ppl like Lil Wayne. The test groups are ppl who listen to top 40 on the radio.

"Listen, there's nothing like knowin' yourself / Like the way I know that smokin's kind of broken my health / Like the way I know my flow don't make appropriate wealth / I can't change that / But funny I'm sayin' that when it's money I'm aimed at"

"And so I pray like I'm a Pentecostal, Sufi, Buddhist, strict agnostic / Hoping one will hit its target / Take another sip of hypnotic / And lay my head on the pillow and dream erotic scenes / of killers spilling endless rounds and all of them shooting at me"
