A Line Drawn
Wow, we have artists acting as if they are politicians,
Grappling with the facts just to try and get a kick in,
Listening to the style like damn that dude just fell off,
**** making me so sick, think I'm developing a crap cough,
When Hollywood is hiding rapists to protect them from you and I,
And then act like we're all racists who want everyone to die,
I know a lot of people who've leaned down and drawn a line,
Well I stand proud on this side, yeah I think I'll be just fine,
Social justice warrior or social justice actor?
You seem to think our differences should be the only factor,
A melting pot? Well maybe not, when race is always in our face,
Hogging all our thoughts making us all seem out of place,
Now, I'm not promoting prejudice and I never have or would,
So if you call me a racist I'm afraid you misunderstood,
I don't like labels assigned to people for a certain point of view,
If it's a separation thing I'm separating me from you,
So gather round and take a seat, I'm staging a little meet and greet,
My name is Eric and I have an opinion,
It is all my own, I'm nobodies minion,
Or anyone's henchmen or a goddamn lynchmen,
Like I've said I'm just a dad protecting my family,
Just worried about society and the division our future will see, if we keep up this hypocrisy.
I'll leave you with this: let's stop all the violence and I'm not talking about the speeches,
Through all of this destruction think of the ignorance it teaches,
Until what you claim to be against is what you are spreading,
With each act of violence where is this world really heading.
