Funny (I Just Don't Get the Joke)

I got split personalities
Ain't living in duality
Having two would be nice
Binary is a fallacy
Nah I ain't that shallow see
I'm swimming through the depths
Y'all go let the malice breed
Until it fosters death

I just don't get the joke
Funny
Usually I'm one with the punchlines
Used to be a prodigy
Now I ain't a tough guy
Now how can I possibly
Survive in a gunfight

I can't I ain't bulletproof
Every night i mull the truth
Deep like a dent is
I ain't out here pulling tooth

How cruel in youth
I learned to put U before I
Wait go check the alphabet
Nah that don't seem right

I just don't get the joke
No longer laughing
Look around
Where my folks
Nah how did this happen
All alone
Ain't a comment, affirmation or Caption
To capture how I feel
Is it passion or madness

Am I tripping
Going overboard
Where ya draw the line
I know back home you're keeping Score
Ain't no peace of mind
Could I keep it simple? Sure
Plenty jewels to find
Bound to embark in darkness
When you travel inside mines

I just don't get the joke
Ain't it funny
We let our self worth be determined By money
Opinions of oppressors
Ain't the same ones that'll bless us
They got us stacking bricks
Like we playing games of Tetris

Show a bit of empathy
Ya methods make no sense to me
Only time I see a cent
When I'm looking at a century
Only time you see ascent
It's a self fulfilling destiny
I know why you don't repent
Cause our dollars bought your Heaven see

What if one day we woke
Up from this nightmare
Now it ain't all bad
Ask real nice
And they might share
A quarter of a slice
Quarters nickels pennies dimes
Have you eating beans & rice
As long your times theirs

I think that we gotta go take our life Back
Agendas being pushed
I don't think that we like that
My cap sits on top of my head
Your cap lies in the words that you Said

I just don't get the joke
Of course you don't
Too busy living life
On a ranch with that horse you own
In Arizona (nice) bet you could Afford a clone
You go to sleep at night
When you get out from your Porsche At home

How bout spreading the wealth a lil Bit bruh
This time I ain't askin
Imma take it for myself uh
Start a chain reaction
I ain't asking for much
I said please more than once & once is enough

I'm done with all the jokes
I'm choking throats if I gotta
My shit a great value
How come you the one with Prada
What I gotta do to generate more Currency
Wait hold up
I got it bruh
Heads down this a burglary
