[VERSE 1]
Stereotypical individuals are elevated
As a means to keep the stereotypes they represent perpetuated
We longer care to care, or to learn, ‘cause knowledge and love
Are no longer our main concerns; allow ourselves to be burnt
By all these false pre-conceptions
Dedicated to the many celebrated deceptions
I'ma give you an example of this sh**
A substantial number of people believe this:
That race, face and birthplace are of the utmost importance,
A view that you know is extremely distorted
To what extent do we all wish to go on and divide?
I'ma give you a notion of what's in my mind
We could say we're all from the same universe and-
Therefore we should go and love every person-or-
We could say, we all just rep the milky-way, a thing that once heard
Sounds f**ing absurd-but we could continue down to Earth
Therefore we put the people on this planet first
But we continue down to nations and cities it's hell
Confining ourselves to even smaller cells, well, well
Are we gonna end up hating everyone but ourselves?
(repeated)
[Hook]
How far are we gonna go? I just don't know.
(Repeated)
[VERSE 2]
Not just race that we seem to judge so severely
What does your mind convey to you when you hear me?
Is it just another youth who is looking for attention;
A fool making an intellectual pretension, or
Another one of God's insecure inventions
With the power to generate thought beyond generic comprehension?
Before you mention the manner in which I speak: rhythmic;
Saying it has no cultural significance, I think you'll find it does
Because, whether you live in the East, West, North or South
The words you speak were spawned of another's mouth, so
Cease your mission for division, yes this is an African tradition
So you say it's me who shouldn't rap? We all apply mathematics, so cease all of that
Plato, Socrates, all of their philosophies are applied worldwide.;
Human achievements, so we should all take pride
I don't know why everyone won't just open their eyes
[Repeated]
[Hook]
How far are we gonna go? I just don't know
(Repeated)
How far are they gonna go to pursue an endeavor
Where they exceed my sk**?
Not achieved. Never
Yes, I promote love and peace, but be and arrogant prick
From now until I'm deceased, because
I'm not just endowed with my mind;
Both mentally and physically inclined so
Enemies see that it's wise to flee and I don't have to
Plea, that when they do flee, that they do so indefinitely
I light up the darkness. Punch up an enemy but tel you what the nature of
A quark is. Why test my genius or my flow?
How far are they gonna go? I just don't know
