The Fight

The problem with society's been how do we teach
And if they'll believe
We'll fight this battle for years to come
Till we only 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 fucking uninspired
Takes more than one idea
More than one person to fight the fight
How many times have you taught 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 God-damn place is so lazy old and tired
All your ideas are so fucking uninspired
Takes more than one idea
More than one person to fight the fight
How many times have you taught and not conspired?
Don't try and get me confused
Cause I do understand
And 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 God-damn place is so lazy old and tired
All your ideas are so fucking uninspired
Takes more than one idea
More than one person to fight the fight
How many times have you taught 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 instead 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
