The Five Percent

Seasoned as a veteran yet wet behind the ears
               Judged by the plastic men some call their peers

          How is it they are blindfolded to what is simply true
               Head in a cloud, ignorance outloud life without a clue

          Ludicrous to be ignoring this however life goes on
               Happy to be the lowest piece proud to be the pawn

          So many corrupted things people choose not to see
               Thinking that they really live in the land of the free

          Change isn't happening and 5 percenters just get worse
               Who is it that they'll kill next just maybe I'll go first
