ASK (Always Seeking Knowledge) - Ode to the 3rd world lyrics

Sit back and reminisce, it's always been like this Can't escape the d**h kiss, given to the ghetto kids Media figured ignorance is bliss, justice went for a piss Wounded, wonder where, when and why the world went amiss I dismiss, this hypocrisy, some like to call it democracy Beautiful idea, yet it doesn't apply to my poor peer You smile to me, but why are you carrying a spear Lend me your ear, so you can hear, it's crystal clear Little boy continue to live in fear, the pain won't disappear It happens here, happens in Zaire, happens everywhere From the darkest corner of Delhi, all the way to Delaware Boy be aware, life ain't fair, yet no one really seem to care Smell treason in the air, lack of reason, like a forbidden love affair Ghetto kids prepare, waiting for the righteous heir, he ain't here ‘it's difficult to free fools from the chains they revere' Couldn't say it better, that's why I am quoting Voltaire Don't despair, but dare, to rise like a Russian bear Never forget the victims of Deir Ya**in, the world is mean Truth is hidden never seen, live on legends of Jenin In our blood, like crack runnin' through the fiend Even the innocent done sinned, the past you can't rescind Seems like truth and lies are closely twinned, feel chagrined The trees will know, if you tell your secrets to the wind It's a hint, because these truths the paper wouldn't print -ASK
