Alone with My Thoughts

I always was a thinker, forever letting shit linger
In the depths
Where I kept
All the times I've been through the ringer
Secretive knowledge gained from the solace of all what's in front of these organs of mine
And no lie spyin some things prematurely 'assuredly had an effect on these eyes
The pride
Worldwide and terrors that some people bottle inside
From hate crimes to the lack of gender equality
I make no apologies
I know I'm an oddity
Thinking somebody
Keeps watering problem trees
Funny thing is
We're teaching our kids
The same ignorance
And assistin' in the spreading of a million more seeds
Geez
The proceeds are frightening
Our country needs some enlightening
There using the tube
On viewers like you
To keep us aloof from finding -it
Probably get shot for this shit, like Pac did
Because apparently, unity, really was an option
These topics are elephants in every room
Still, some motherfuckers refuse to use their optics
Follow me through my thought process
Honest prophets are not the topic
Whether Kan' has lost it
Causes raucous
Between toxic teens in closets
But me, I'd rather not talk shit

Cuz love is spoken so much more than its counterpart
But actions speak louder you know (You know)
I know I'm not the only one who's driving down the street
And sees hate everywhere that I go (I go)
I've never been an ivory tower resident
I've experienced how the latter always seems to take the precedence
How many of you were bullied at school
And people laughed rather than gather to your defense on real shit
Or how it's accepted to say that some are defective
When you know damn well they were born like this
And scorn like this
Keeps us torn like this
There's more allure for the bling in the store
Than the poor provinces where there harvested
We put more value on what's around a rappers wrist
Instead of what his heart's invested in
And I'm sick to my intestines, so fuck using discretion
I'll scream this world's injustices until we change direction
I have a dream we'll find the means to bring everyone protection
Freedom for the neglected
Not just the few that we've selected
Keep your eyes on the elected, and tear down all the lies that they've erected

Why they lying to us
Why they lying to us
Why they lying to us
Why they lying to us

Yo this is hip hop
Challenge the things you've been taught
Cuz our schooling system's been bought
And then got
Rearranged from the truth that we sought
This façade
Is not (The)
Education we fought for
Lack of information has this nation lookin' like Darfur
We need peace but are so quick to start war
Remember, Lincoln comma Abraham? "A house divided cannot stand
So when this bitch collapses I'm already half-way out the door
This concludes the alone with my thoughts tour
So say "au revoir" to the hors d'oeuvres
No more bite-sized truths to calm your nerves
This is only the first of many "mental meals" to be served
If you digest it properly you'll get what you deserve
Hopefully, this will gives you the proper growth spurt
About the learning curve
(Cross Bar, bitch)
