The problem with society's been how do we teach
|
And if they'll believe.
|
We'll fight this battle for years to come
|
'til we all accept that we can stand on our own.
|
|
Grandfather used his hands, he worked them to the bone.
|
Provide his family with a happy home, alone.
|
|
Don't take your aggression out on me.
|
My own man is all I'm meant to be.
|
|
This common place is so lazy, old, and tired
|
All your ideas are so plain, often non-inspired.
|
Takes more than one idea
|
More than one person to fight the fight
|
How many times have you thought and not conspired?
|
|
Don't wanna be, they never say
|
But don't call us the liars
|
|
We've walked these alleys a thousand times
|
And scattered around a thousand lies.
|
They are trying to hold you down
|
Your life may be hard
|
But keep your feet on the ground.
|
|
Why don't I have the finer things that others have?
|
The chance is there if you want it all that bad.
|
So bad.
|
|
Don't take your aggression out on me.
|
My own man is all I'm meant to be.
|
|
This common place is so lazy, old, and tired
|
All your ideas are so plain often non-inspired.
|
Takes more than one idea
|
More than one person to fight the fight
|
How many times have you thought and not conspired?
|
|
Don't try and get me confused.
|
Cause I do understand.
|
that sometimes people need help.
|
That they may need a
|
hand when this problems going on.
|
|
A thing you have to get straight
|
Is that you don't own my hand.
|
And I don't owe you a thing.
|
So don't think about how
|
sorry you feel when now your treated so bad.
|
|
This common place is so lazy, old, and tired
|
All your ideas are so plain often uninspired.
|
Takes more than one idea
|
More than one person to fight the fight
|
How many times have you told and not conspired
|
|
And as a race we look back and we’ve come so far.
|
While some may conquer, the others had it so hard.
|
But in these day we just complain while there’s no one for us to fight.
|
I guess we’re bored and that's how we keep us occupied
