Privilege
Privilege, so privileged, too privileged, that we're forgetting
He put socks upon our feet, got food for us to eat, got grace to give, but we forget
This dad ain't fair to all his kids
Dream bout millions on millions, don't mind the millions who living
In cities poverty stricken, sharing meals with the mickeys
Sit round texting and calling, too busy sipping and rolling
That's why IQs keep falling, that's why I can't get outta bed
When my bell starts a ringing, lullabys me to sleep
Smooth whispers, Listen close as it speaks
Too passive, get passed on, so stuck on, attraction, to this dude and that girl
Buy gold chains, and nice pearls, ain't happy, who would be, Like santa, to cookies
Nice now-but everyone's got some, better have something more show me
Better lead a life that's complete, slow growth builds big trees
Calm minds bred victories, for decades for centuries
They hunting, guard yo dreams, take big shots like Kobe
Get slept on, Ginobili, But never, by no means
Forget that path you tread, don't let this rising bread, get to your head...
Everyone starves, when the biggest egos fed
Life hurts cause people people, no changing facts
Feeling like a hypocrite, raps based on
Privilege, are we too privileged, so privileged, that we're forgetting
Pops built bridges, old girl drew plans
Tryna make headlines, couldn't make it in band
Slave to this lifestyle, ain't comprehending...
The patient needed, to drop records- other than books titled genius
It endless the possibilities to slip
We're all sinking Titanics cause, there's holes in the ship
I'm not one to panic but when everybody's jumping
This little voice keeps telling me the feds are up to something
The blood we're pumping, first target of interest
Dictates every breath we take plus the way that we spending
Each individual moment either wasted or utilized
We're half the folks we used to be, 3/5 ain't compromise
Now you decide if you value your freedom
Yeah you decide you decide if you're ready to lose it
You decide if the cups half empty or full
And you decide if a night, drowning in booze is
Privilege, are we too privileged, so privileged, that we're forgetting
