Dialogue (sometimes spelled dialog in American English) is a literary and theatrical form consisting of a written or spoken conversational exchange between two or more ("dia" means through or across) people. Its chief historical origins as narrative, philosophical or didactic device are to be found in classical Greek and Indian literature, in particular in the ancient art of rhetoric.
While the dialogue was less important in the ninetenth cnetury than it had been in the eighteenth, it was not extinct. The British author W.H. Mallock employed it successfully in his work "The New Republic," which was explicitly based on Plato's "Republic" and on the writings of Thomas Love Peacock. But the notion of dialogue reemerged in the cultural mainstream in the work of cultural critics such as Mikhail Bakhtin and Paulo Freire, theologians such as Martin Buber, as an existential palliative to counter atomization and social alienation in mass industrial society.
Dialogue as a genre in the Middle East and Asia dates back to the year 1433 in Japan, Sumerian disputations preserved in copies from the late third millennium BC and to Rigvedic dialogue hymns and to the Mahabharata.
They say the state of your environment
Coupled with defiance of societal requirements
Is what creates violence
That and repetition of pimpin’, shootin’, and lootin’ in media
transmission
In addition to the negligence of parents due to lots of broken homes
Bitterness and broken dreams lead to brittle broken bones
So little kids roam the streets like wide-eyed prey
Continuing the cycle of decay
Everyday a vital image of a foolish imitation
Is impressioned on a person a becomes an aspiration
They wanna acquire the chain the fool had on the flyer
They want guns, girls, rings, cars, rims, tires
They want heroes but the got liars
Those who focus only on material desires
And will do whatever necessary to acquire
A hot spot on a skewer roasting in eternal fire
So are these young ones the collective sums of the slums they inhabit?
Inhibited by violence that borders on pornographic
Or is it that the truth has been slightly fabricated
Borrowed by every rapper twisted and exaggerated
Now it’s incorporated in their bio
Shot 5 times by a wino
On the way to sell crack for their auntie’s pimp
Now that’s the back-story for that well rehearsed limp
As long as it sells
That’s the story they’ll continue to tell
And these fools keep lying
‘Cuz you fool keep buying
What’s defined as a dream for a young black teen
Big stacks of green
Sacks by the triple beam
Just generations away from being slaves
Yet this is how you jigaboo niggas wanna behave?
Shucking and jiving
Bug-eyed grinning
With your ancestors spinning like gyroscopes in their graves
Think about it
I got no use to call you
I got no reason to miss you at all
I can't pretend I love you
Although you got me by the balls
I got no use
I got no use
I ain't got time to kill you
Spend too much time behind these walls
I can't pretend I love you
Although you got me by the balls
I got no use
I got no use
I got no use
I got no use

You weave your web around me
And all your eyes confuse me
You drain my balls beneath me
And then you try to eat me
I got no use
I got no use
I got no use

I've tried
To find a good reason to smile
Found only heartbreak
I need to find
Someone I can trust, now
Just hold tight,
Friends and lovers aren't always easy to find
I'm not blind
Maybe I should walk away
You can't let everything in life just bring you down
No I can't live like this.
Just say the word and I'll just walk away.
So tired,
Of everything falling apart
I guess that's how it goes
I can't reply,
I don't expect you to, now.
You can't make this everything
We can make it better
We can make it better
We can make it better
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We can change the world, now

I want to be alone
I need to touch each stone
Face the grave that I have grown
I want to be
Alone
Before all the days are gone
And darker walls are bent and torn
To pass the time of those who mourn
I want to be
Alone
Rivers that run anywhere
Are in my hand and just up the stair
Past the eyes of those who care
Who can never be
Alone
Changes that were not meant to be
Tow the hours of my memory
Sing a song of love to me
To say you must never
Never be alone
The tears of a silent rain
Seek shelter on my broken pain
And run away
But I remain
To speak the words
That sing
Of alone
I want to be alone
I need to touch each stone
Face the grave that I have grown
I want to be
Uh-huh
Yeah, we breathe in
Take a look and see if you can feel anything
Went to commercial so they give you some time to breathe
Yeah, we breathe in
Yeah, we breathe in
Follow, follow
Where do we turn to?
The dialogue, dialogue
Burns into a word
Swallow
Swallow
Swallow
Swallow
Swallow your pride and die
Yeah, we breathe in
Go spend a night with you and tell you a thousand lies
Over and over and over a thousand times
Yeah, we breathe in
Yeah, we breathe in
Follow, follow
Where do we turn to?
The dialogue, dialogue
Burns into a word
Swallow

Can you help me figure out all of these things?
I'm restless, I feel reckless
I'm holding on by a string
No, I can't I'm just as broken
I'm just as damaged as you
I'm so tired
I'm so uninspired
Half dying in this living room
Oh, where do I go?
oh, all on my own?
I can't walk in a straight line when
I don't know what I'm heading for
just keep trying
no more lying to yourself anyore
Oh, where do we go?
Yo, Brotha A to z,
Yo, wussup B,
Yo, What time is it?
Ha-ha, It's laundry day!
(do do do...)
Well let the geek in the pink take a stab at it
If you like the way I'm thinkin' baby wink at it
I may be skinny at times but I'm fat for the rhymes
Pass me the mic and I'm a grab at it
Well isn't it delicious crazy way that I'm kissin'
This baby listen to this don't wanna miss it while it's
hittin'
Sometimes you gotta fit in to get in
But don't ever quit cause soon I'm gonna let you in but
I don't care what you might think about me
You'll get by without me if you want
Well,I could be the one to take you home
Baby we could rock the night alone
If we never get down it wouldn't be a let down
But sugar don't forgetin' what you already know
That I could be the one to turn you out
We could be the talk across the town
Don't judge it by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away
like the geek in the pink (do do do...)
well like the geek in the pink, yeah (geek in the pink)
Well my relationship fodder don't mean to bother nobody
But Cupid's automatic musta fired multiple shots at her
Because she fall in love too often that's what the
matter
At least when i'm talking about it keep a pattern of
flattery and
She was starin' through the doorframe,and
Eyeing me down like already a bad boyfriend
Well she can get her toys outta the drawer then
Cause I ain't comin' home I don't need that attention,
I don't care what she might think about me
She'll get by without me if she wants
well, I could be the one to take her home
Baby we could rock the night alone
If we never get down it wouldn't be a let down
But sugar don't forgettin' what you already know
that I could be the one to turn you out
We could be the talk across the town
Don't judge it by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away
Hey baby look at me go
From zero to hero
You better take it from a geek like me
Well I can save you from unoriginal dum-dums
Who wouldn't care if you com....plete them or not
So what I've got a short attention span
A coke in my hand
Because I'd rather have the afternoon, relax and
understand
My hip hop and flip-flops well it don't stop with the
light rock
A shot to mock you kinda puts me in the tight spot
The hype is nothing more than hoo-ha so I'm
Developing a language and I'm callin' it my own
So take a peek into the speaker and you'll see what I
mean
That on the other side the grass is greener
I don't care what you might think about me
You'll get by without me if you want
I could be the one to take you home
Baby we could rock the night alone
If we never get down it wouldn't be a let down
But sugar don't forgetin' what you already know
I could be the one to turn you on
We could be the talk across the town
Don't judge it by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away
like the geek in the pink (do do do...)
I'm the geek in the pink ya'll
geek is the color for fall
i'm the geek in the pink
so i'm the geek ya'll
in the pink ya'll
geek is the color for fall
