(Intro)
I know, clearly, one half the truth
And that is one half more than they recognize...
The old adage from Santayana
That those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it, is a lie
There is no history
Everything we are is eternally with us...
(Verse 1)
We might've been cursed since birth to endure hardships on this earth
But I'm not waiting for worse to come to worst to put my people first
Im searching for the truth
You're telling me it hurts?
If it'll set me free I'll take the pain for what it's worth
I'll even take a leap of faith and go to church
Grab a bible, read a verse
Pray to God for rebirth
Cuz the children on this earth, are headed for the worst
To suffer our mistakes, for goodness sakes, Im bout to burst!
I'm pissed! With Congress jedi mind tricks
They can't find a fix for this mess, instead
They stack courts, play games, change rules in the system
From what our forefathers intended
All I see is taxes, fees, regulations
A sh**tier nation for the next generation
The creation of modern day slaves
Workin decades for pay, no vacation days man...
(Hook)
Only human. Dodge This (gunshot)...
You keep telling yourself what you know, but what do you believe?
How bout the social (unknown dialogue)
You stupid motherf**er! No no!
You keep telling yourself what you know, but what do you believe?
(Verse 2)
If you believe what you perceive than you're easily deceived
Just like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden
Taking the fruit from the tree they shouldn't be eating
The first history teaching we are perpetually
Repeating and repeating, food for thought
And the media's force feeding it
Increasing it's ease of effectiveness
Making it easier for them to mislead us. But listen
What good is knowledge without wisdom?
You got the recipe but you're lost around the kitchen
Conforming to fit in, ignoring what you're mixed in
Taking lies and shades of truth, not knowing the difference
There isn't, for instance, what is this Obamacare
There's no real help there, just a new welfare
And because I care, I suggest you watch your stepping
Because if you don't stand for something
You might fall for anything. (just saying)
(Hook)
(Skit)
Let me try from the first to indicate the point
That we're aiming at. The point is this:
That human consciousness is at the same time as being a form of awareness and sensitivity and understanding...
It's also a form of ignorance
(Verse 3)
(Well...) You can call me ignorant, belligerent
An impudent conspiracist, politically illiterate
If the shoe fits Im wearing it
An extremist, don't give a sh**
So into it I'm intimate
Connected with my intuit cuz I don't trust your intellect
Painfully cognizant of the democratic deficit
I see you're non responsive to the public interest
Now you got yourself a disappointed citizen
Hoping you taste your medicine so you know the state you put us in
What did you expect? Freedom's in our DNA
You take away the Bill of Rights God-given rights are here to stay
Don't get it twisted, listen to what I say
Before The Constitution, Ten Commandments been in play
And If I'm a dead man walking for talking
About your God complex ima enjoy my "tea party"
Recollect my thoughts then take up my crucifix
Recognize a snake is full of dirty tricks
Only God could judge me
