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
