Rebel Diaz - Contradictionz lyrics

A contradiction, but ain't that what it's all about? A contradiction, but ain't that what it's all about? [Verse 1] How can a government say they support human rights When we know they only fight with dollar signs in their eyes So it's relief for the tsunami, money for the tidal wave They've lost just as many lives in Africa from AIDS In my country tis of thee, how come there's poverty If it's Homeland Security, why the hell you watching me And how come I go to college all the professors is white All the students look alike like they related to the dean Education ain't a right, man education is a dream A diploma is equivalent to getting a receipt How do all the founding fathers look like officer friendly How does Jesus look related to the cops that apprehend me How you make your commericals, say it does a body good Then take extacy and steroids so you can look and feel good How many judges and lawyers still use c**aine Then their Rockefeller laws keep my people enslaved A contradiction, but ain't that what it's all about? A contradiction, but ain't that what it's all about? [Verse 2] How can the richest country have so many homeless Cause ten percent of the evil people got the money, you should know this What's a black republican, what's a Latin bush supporter And if Bush loves the war, he should send his own daughters What's a liberal guy that supports women's rights And on that very same day watches p**n all night If there's freedom of speech, then what's censorship And how the hell you wearing Jordans and you root for the Knicks How come hip-hop got political around election day Yet any other time ain't got sh** to say How many communists drive home in nice a** cars To the comfort of a home with a stocked up bar How Chicago the second city when we always in first And if you don't support Cuba, take off the Che shirt A contradiction, yo it's the root of our system And if there's really justice Why it's just us in the prisons A contradiction, but ain't that what it's all about? [Verse 3] Why does the Christian right support a war that's taking people's lives How many revolutionaries done beat up their wives How many married men still take part in the chase How come so many doctors do d** to stay awake And what about them priests that are secretly gay Yet they still preach the word every single Sunday And how many politicians have no social sk**s Why so many millionaires don't pay child support bills And if a woman sleeps around then for sure she's a ho Yet when a man does his thing he must be full of mojo Why do jocks take d** just to hit home runs Why you shopping for clothes with insufficient funds Why you driving a Mercedes with no milk for the baby Rolling on twenty-twos when your rent is past due A contradiction, yeah that's what it's about I just gave a few examples for you to think about
