Words I Never Said
It makes me sick to my stomach with the lies we're fed
I've made mistakes and one day I'll lie in my own bed
It's time to speak my mind and not agree with the stuff they put inside our heads
I'm going to say it all now, so there won't be any words I never said
No child is born racist
But sadly there are toxic parents who teach their children to form hatred
There should be no upper and lower class we should all be made equal
You're an idiot if you judge someone based on skin colour and you're missing out on some great people
Police have killed too many innocent people now so stop calling them one off incidents
You sit there crying about this and that while hating immigrints
But the immigrants are willing to work the job that you refuse to do
You listen to presidents and politicians, so someone speaking the truth is new
Go ahead hate me and judge me for it
I should probably look over my shoulder as you'll want to leave me bloody for it
Well I'd rather die like a man knowing I express how I feel
I'd rather walk this storm alone than be in your coward field
You won't get to where you need to be if you always take the smallest path
Isn't it sad how people can apply for job after job and they don't call you back
These days they want a 26 year old with 34 years of experience
You'd think I was joking but I'm actually being serious
I still don't know how R.Kelly was allowed to marry Aaliyah and not get locked up
If that was my daughter I'd have turned into Mike Tyson and left that sick man Boxed up
Anyone who defends R. Kelly in anyway then you're guilty as well
But no one cared about the innocent girls, the industry wanted R Kelly's music to still sell
I'm living in a world where we don't have a voice and the poor don't matter
Homeless people on the streets while the rich share laughter
They've got money for wars but won't feed the poor Tupac said it best
I wish I had the power to change things because this world is a mess
