word to the wise

id like to speak on some shit i think you’d like to know

put ‘em into spoken word

so that my words can be heard,

so that my feelings can be felt

cause when i put that shit inside a song

somehow mfs got the lyrics all wrong and my point was long gone

see at first i thought it was just me

comin to terms with reality

but now i can clearly see

reality looks differently to you and me

yet somehow i felt like this was some shit i’ve always known

i mean white ppl always held the throne

but they made sure the oppression was rarely shown

because when you show someone how you did them wrong

you tend to stop getting along

so what they mean when they say

“I wish things would go back to how they were in the good ole days”

yk that classic american dream cliche

the racist code switching…

reaganomics to make sure oppression is here to stay

lets look at how this shit still affects us today

fooled into believing the U.S was “land of the free”

even tho the 13th amendment literally legalizes slavery

tryna convince us that shit is long gone

tryna tell us we got it all wrong

too individualized to realize

the criminal “justice” system was just a disguise

a way to criminalize the poor

to ensure the guilt never comes knocking on their door

fooled people into believing mfs want to be outside sleeping on the damn floor

somewhere along the way

americans declared individualism was the way

so instead of them,

now we’re the ones who are to blame

ain’t this a damn shame

controlled by money and power

this that shit capitalistic mfs devour

i mean youre forced to be when you live in this kinda society

one that’s fools you to believe

it’s in human nature to harbor that much greed

in order to form a more perfect nation

turned us=US into a corporation

divided all the citizens

threatened by our continued resilience

scared we would uncover

the master behind the strings

the ones who keep us from truly being free

creating the american dream

knowin damn well that shit was just a scheme

who would give up that much control

so afraid of letting go

bc to them that’s all they’ve ever known

that’s why they don’t want history to be shown

they never want to give up their thrown

“we had a black president look how far we’ve come along”

but unfortunately obama was just another pawn

but now im rambling on

just b sure to look up what he did w all them bombs
