Intervention
Oh, who am I
Just somebody in pursuit of a white picket fence
And a slice of the pie
But it's looking like that pie's in the sky
So I, fly like an eagle
Time keeps on slipping
As arrows take out our sons
No olive branches extended
They're woven to hold us down
But won't acknowledge the imprint
But we're still paying JP Morgan with Interest
Feels like we're choosing between a pit and a pendulum
Swing low sweet chariot
Shit is menacing
The walls are closing
The iron is heating up
Blood on your leaves
I'm sorry I bleed too much
Now it's running through the streets like rivers
Its neck high
They synchronize then tell us to tread lightly
So forgive me if I get a Lil choked up
America I just hope I say this right
I ain't saying this to vilify
I'm just wondering when the last time you sobered up and noticed your reflection
The light is vacant in your eyes
Fuck the lies
And irreverence for our lives
We the people gather for an intervention
I know that you wish that we forget how you did us when we met
But ain't no second chances for a first impression
But we still don't want to see you self-destruct
If there's a problem I heard that the first step was admission
Uh
Yeah
Who are you
All the ones who look away and enable
Cuz it doesn't hurt the style that you're used to
Pull down the shades and turn up the music
View is unsettling huh
Well
Fear no evil, hear no evil, see no evil, equal evil
Just be aware that the country's like a tapestry
We all connected, thread the needle
You gon fuck around and let indulgence take us to our final resting place
Look at our past
The Precious path we treading never ever lead to Heaven's gates
A moment of clarity's overdue
So let me be clear believe me
If I didn't care then I wouldn't even fuck with you
Listen
I ain't saying this to vilify
I'm just wonderin when the last time you sobered up and noticed your reflection
The light is vacant in your eyes
Fuck the lies
And irreverence for our lives
So we the people have gathered for an intervention
I know that you wish that we forget how you did us when we met
But ain't no second chances for a first impression
But we still don't want to see you self-destruct
If there's a problem I heard that the first step was admission
America
