Culture

As I get a little older
I hear more about culture
And my culture differs from yours
But just because we're different, doesn't mean we're not one of the same
People keep changing more and more
But we reject their opinions when we're defiant to change

I come from a place where sexism is the norm
Where women are forced into birth until they hate the baby as soon as it's born
Where every single woman feels torn
Where they all live inside of the storm
A place where women just expect to be raped and accept that fate
When a woman comes forward the only response is, you are a woman
I come from a place where problems are infinite and there's no solutions
I come from a place of disgrace where even winners are losing
As they lose all their respect as they cause death
I come from a place where all except death, accept death as our friend when it comes
I come from a place where knife crime is sky high but at least we don't have guns
I come from a place where lives are gambled with, everything is scandalous, if there's a death you can bet there's going to be cameras lit
No one cares about human life when money is involved here
Living here is dangerous, when strangers, feel the need to rape us
Everywhere people commit suicide but that must be the culture

I know, I know, I know
This culture is going too far
But we have to follow
What is written in all the stars

This is the culture
A place where everyone goes through torture
A place where evil is normalised
We believe their horror lies because they were said in formal lines
We're all gonna die
When it's our lives they play with gay men
Are forced to lay with danger
All because a faceless stranger
In a high position
Decided to write this listing
Where being gay is sinning
Now murder is at play
Even the women are getting killed and
There's sex trafficking involving children
But it's all ok
Because this is just the culture

I know, I know, I know
This culture is going too far
But we have to follow
What is written in all the stars

As I keep getting older
I learn more about culture
I see through the lies they told ya
They just want us to get colder
There's no such thing as borders
There's no thing as separation
When we're all from the same land
But they're determined to cause hurting when they separate us
It's become every man for himself
Some countries create a living hell
For certain individuals
You say they can because it's their culture
But that to me sounds like a cult
Yeah, you call it culture
I call it cult shit
But then they both go hand in hand
Culture has cult in it
They share the same definition
But that fact is hidden
So no one wants to seem to understand
Oh, man, you call it culture, I call it cult, uh
They both align
I see the stars fall from the sky
I see people losing their lives
Over the culture inside

I know, I know, I know
This culture is going too far
But we have to follow
What is written in all the stars

How far will this cultural thing go?
Surely we have to draw the line
Like we're playing bingo
Being from a shitty place, is a flaw of mine
No one has a pretty face, when we all have the look of horror
There's fear in everyone's aura
Everything good is replaced with hate and bad feelings
Everyone here won't stop bleeding from their killings
But when our tormented body's are turned cold, our burnt souls don't fly high
When the demonic party has already brought them, but we were so thoughtless we didn't see the lies life
Bullets fly by in a drive by
That hit was put on your kid thanks to the hood
Your homie will get beat and stabbed for trying to buy some weed and tabs
His body is dumped in the street, but we only see the woods
Your wife is out of a choice
Your daughter is forced to be a boy
They say this is for christ
But that sounds like a demonic lie
But it's fine
As this is culture's life

I know, I know, I know
This culture is going too far
But we have to follow
What is written in all the stars

I do this for my culture
To let you all know, what a cult is
I'm going to flip the script
Just to show ya
So allow me to now be the one that takes over
I'm going to sentence every homophobe to death
Their karma is set
I'm going to discriminate and throw hate against the white men
Because that's the writing
In my culture
Men no longer have a choice but women have as much as they're liking
I'm going to take over the classrooms, white men aren't allowed and religion is banned too
Karma has landed
Now I hope you're understanding what the meaning of my land is
I hope we all see culture doesn't have to be like this
We can celebrate our differences without creating privileges
We didn't have to rewrite this
because before culture was rewritten
Culture was only about tradition
We all would celebrate with parades or have our own things
But then the evil wanted to be king
And everything changed
It was no longer about tradition, the conditions became about spreading pain
Now the abuse has been excused for being culture
But we shouldn't normalise torture
And we shouldn't erase what culture was
Because now the devil is everyone's God
So all these countries have become hell and that burns people
In a land where hurt people, hurt people
Fuck calling it culture
