ASK (Always Seeking Knowledge) - The Have Nots lyrics

These lines are dedicated to all the have nots Broke as f**, but you have your words & guts Amazed, sit back and watch the world go nuts From refugee camps to the streets of Boston To everyone out there struggling and hustlin' I don't judge, cuz you didn't have an option Lack of love & wealth, yet you are still awesome See it in your eyes, this lifestyle causes exhaustion With the guilt of an orphan, you move with caution Because modern times justice is out of proportion Guess life is like an election, so full of corruption Tell the whole world how you help the needy Confused, all I see is a world growing greedy Little baby boy asks his dad, can you feed me Discussing politics is the privilege of the rich Guess you just don't care when life is a b**h Stumbling & fumbling through the fog, it's pitch Dark- desperate, so like a dog he begins to bark For some a struggle, for others a walk in the park Wallets out, no worries, he takes change and cash And if he is hungry, he is ready to crash and smash Told me not to trust a stranger, prepare for clash Took that lesson with me, and now I teach it in cla** Because you don't learn in school, you learn in life And you don't grow from success, you grow from strife But then again, how can you condemn- his walk in life You weren't there when sh** was tight, day and night It ain't aight- so to judge that gent you have no right Remember to think twice before you accuse and indict Because even in deep darkness there will always be light From the pavements of Boston to the corners in Harlem From the ghettos of Paris- where you pay the price To the hoods of Africa- where families survive on rice From the slum of Cape Town- chances of being shot down Or back to Baghdad- where you are lucky to become a dad -ASK
