Just Another White Kid

Just another white kid trying to make it big
Tryin to live the lazy life of the rap gig
If that’s what you hear then obviously
You’re not listening to me
I’m not here to flirt with you, I’m married
I don’t speak to entertain you, let comforts be buried
My voice goes deeper than the money and hoes
That they feature in their vidoes
Deeper than the fears in my own heart that loom,
Deeper than your fathers tomb

All that I hate keeps me up late
Do what I don’t want to
Don’t do what I want to
Catch myself living in a state of schizophrenia
Wake up to another day of acceptable apathy in America
So why does this middle class lyricist insist to be heard
Cause this life’s so much deeper than the natural mans word

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up,
Praying that my voice connects directly to your soul
Truth that you can’t shake, can’t let go
Realizations that discomfort your being as a whole
Failures realized, highlighted and hated
Reconciliation in mind, my lyrics designed
To abduct your whole kind take you to the vine
Obtain satisfaction that we all seek to find

No I’m not a thug, no I didn’t grow up in the ghetto
No I wont promote the struggle, and no I wont try to do this solo
I’m looking down the barrel from a different angle
To anyone who says we should make them infertile
I say your brain is barren, listen to what your saying
Your fathers father made this, and now you want to rape it
Our democracy’s got two extremes, neither of which are good enough for me
Don’t you think in this great country we should be able to find at least one pure electee
Well you know, that’s just what happens when you become rich and powerful
No, no, no , no, no...
That’s just what happens when you seek first the desires of your flesh
That’s just what happens when you live only for your own selfishness
I didn’t go to Harvard or MIT,
But I can tell you this, I don’t like the direction of this so called great country

So who am I, I’m not just some white kid,
I, Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up,
Praying that my voice connects directly to your soul
Truth that you can’t shake, can’t let go
Realizations that discomfort your being as a whole
Failures realized, highlighted and hated
Reconciliation in mind, my lyrics designed
To abduct your whole kind take you to the vine
Obtain satisfaction that we all seek to find
