hypocrite

Yeah
Uh-huh
You could say that I'mma
You could say that I'mma
You could say that I'mma hypocrite
Yeah I know that I'mma

Speak something, think something, do something else
It's always easier to blame something on someone else
Than to be honest and look yourself in the mirror
I'm tryin to see it clearer but lately it feels like nothing helps
Cutting the blemish out those guys
Performing nano-surgery with tree branches growing out my own eyes
I've got these secrets that I'm tryin' to hide
Man I'm like Dr. House addicted to them pills on the side
Preach justice for all but keep my privilege to myself
Tax them other people, don't you dare come for my wealth
I've been narcissistic but I'm calling it self care
My girl been so irrational I'm tryin to live here
My life been paradoxical and twisted for a while
People ask me for advise 'cause they don't see how I get wild
So they pat me on the back because they think my sin is mild
But if they knew the truth they'd see that I was foul

You could say that I'm a hypocrite
Who are you, what's the difference what I say and what I do
You could say that I'm a hypocrite
Can't you see? Why should my own standards still apply to me
You could say that I'm a hypocrite
Who are you, what's the difference what I say and what I do
You could say that I'm a hypocrite
Yeah I know that I'm a hypocrite

I might slip
I might fall but I get up though y'all
And that slip might be on purpose
When the curtains drawn
And I be fighting feeling worthless
Till the hurt is gone
Obeying the MH is my purpose
Yes the thirst is strong
Hallelyah
To the one and only ruler
Ain't nobody cooler
Not even ya jeweler
Tri-color pumas
Dancing over rumors
I'm from Philly, I'm not Muslim
But I wear a sunnah
Ducking all the shooters
All of the intruders
Taking shots at my faith
Trying to make me feel foolish
Concerned with my spec when they login like computers
Don't condone disrespect
Spesh' from those who don't do this
My Father the truest
My mercy the newest
Brainwash me with living water
That water the bluest
I remain a student
Wise as the prudent
Knowledge like a tutor
At times filthy like a sewer
Salute

You could say that I'm a hypocrite
Who are you, what's the difference what I say and what I do
You could say that I'm a hypocrite
Can't you see? Why should my own standards still apply to me
You could say that I'm a hypocrite
Who are you, what's the difference what I say and what I do
You could say that I'm a hypocrite
Yeah I know that I'm a hypocrite
