Yo I’m sick of these savages coming up to our campuses / showing us how to handle shit, preaching on what the average is / I am my own man, I make my own plans / so I don’t need you people messing up my home land / that’s why I came to stop hate / so you can go ahead and tell your crew how I feel abut prop 8 / some lines are not straight, some folks are cold hearted / that’s why I got faith to get your soul started / it’s kinda funny how a black man’s president / but equal rights for same sex partners is irrelevant / there’s nothing relative / it’s in your melon kid / freedom’s so free that you might as well be selling it / I made the decision to hate the division / so tell me how we’ll save our kids, when we take what we’re given / listen / follow me on the road to equality / with Optimist, Chapter ONE, and VITAL Emcee /
I don’t wanna be right / cuz if I ever was then I’d probably buy into the lies the system’s selling us / am I wrong to hunger—no never that / lord, about someone else / so baby run it back / I don’t wanna be right / cuz if I really am then you better run cuz it’s about to hit the ceiling fan / take it to the bank and to the grave with Billy Graham / cuz a change is coming, show us where you really stand /
And I don’t even know / cuz seasons change, but at this point in time it’s freezing cold / when everything I been believing been defeated by demons, even although you need reason, you still done label me heathen / but anyway, the higher you building your barrier just got your boy becoming taller everyday / equal individual, and you’re the one’s that’s missing out / not even worth a drip of the liquor that I’m pissing out / huh / so keep your minds closed and I won’t even hesitate to discriminate back / how can somebody even say that / in God’s eyes we’re all the same yet you’ll take away our rights and make us stay trapped / believe homier don’t play that, so I’m represent it / cut everything I do’s unprecedented / combating ignorance like any yes on prop 8 so all your fears can take that to the prostate /
Chorus
I stare deep, my thoughts creep / most nights escape sleep between sheets / thieves got a hold, I think I’ve lost control, I must have / I just had enlightenment / but it often end in resentment / trying to skip to the ending / but each turn leads I the wrong direction / I made an honest attempt, guess the truth hurts / spent round the clock trying to question the perps / course my actions remain silent / try to put them in words but mums how I cope / to the point of being punch drunk / and so to move on I slump over and sip hate / sort of like moving forward to diss 8 / till my love dissipates / and as I think now of ways that I could have made it better / I ask for one more to get me through the next for when I get there/
