"I'm terrified at the moral apathy, the d**h of the heart, which is happening in my country. These people have deluded themselves for so long that they really don't think I'm human. I base this on their conduct, not what they say. And this means that they have become, in themselves, moral monsters." -James Baldwin Hook: And the story goes: I was just a dollar to you Then you left me hanging Like a follow through do Do you, do you like strange fruit co*ktails? Difference 'tween you and D'evils I cannot tell Let me tell you, let me tell you, let me tell you like We surrounded by these moral monsters We surrounded by these moral monsters We surrounded by these moral monsters We surrounded We surrounded We surrounded We surrounded by these moral monsters We surrounded by these moral monsters We surrounded by these moral monsters We surrounded We surrounded We surrounded Verse 1: What's your boy to do It's unavoidable to get hated on According to them forms and rules I'm melanated wrong Three five, three five, three five I'm barely human in your mind, ain't I? Dark skin, it ain't like you But I'm a child of the divine ain't I? You don't see blood You don't see tears You don't see me You only see animal You don't see love You don't see fear You ain't even free You more like a cannibal I know you better than you know me though You ain't even seen my eyes So when I call you on the okie doke Don't you be backing up your lies Bridge: Breaking down your plan 'til it's all gone Ain't no shaking of the hands 'cause you all wrong Nightmares, fangs, claws, horns got me tripping Wishing it was different but I'm dealing with the realness (Hook) Verse 2: Staring right into the eyes of the beast Rough skin from the crown to the feet Yellow goo start to ooze out the teeth Salivating steady ready for a feast And you revel in your readiness to eat Are you present to the devil in your feet? Rather settle for defeat Than to pedel for the peace There's a level up, believe But you're tethered to a thief Your fear is destroying you It's unavoidable to turn monstrous Where your heart go? You done turned cold You need to realign your chakras People don't pay no attention to prophets Unless it's for profit and then they about it Check the new cotton and who advertises And don't be surprised when uprises get violent (Bridge) (Hook)
