Beholden

[Verse 1]
Don't be, beholden by being by old and for eye for an eye
Believing that leaving to die in the cold justify it
But riots will quietly rise
Believing that sentence unheard equals violence deserved
But just can't account for the 'why'
The feelings inside you deny, I don't mean to pry
But take a deep breath, it's okay to cry
Don't enter a place of disgrace and despise
Stop hating, berating, and self-deprecating
The anger displacing desire to cry
"Emotions are weak"
Commotion you seek
Confronting with fury the bleak in a hurry
No time to stop, think, realize
That what you are doing, removing your feelings
Dealing in pride, 'cause you are a guy
'Cause you are god

[Pre-Chorus 1]
'Cause you are a man
'Cause you are white, 'cause you think you can
Just see that you're flawed, just see that you're flawed
'Cause you are a man
'Cause you are white, 'cause you think you can
Just see that you're flawed, just see that you're flawed

[Chorus]
It doesn't have to be this way
No it doesn't have to face the face the face the face
It doesn't have to be this way
No it doesn't have to face the face
Almighty
Almighty
Almighty
Almighty

[Verse 2]
You see, see through the eyes
Never eyes of the- *uhhh*
Keep eyes on the prize
Incentivize the senses for sensualized buys
Bought by sex but not sought to extent
Life is comprised of oversexualized advertisements
That provide a disguised guide
To demonize instead of equalize
The roles of women and girls in your normalized lives
But behold, that aside
Check the stats on female homicide and you decide if the hands she dies from is a surprise or applies some kind of sum of the despise that most guys surmise
But never realize, it's not a heart of ice when she says 'nice try, goodbye'

[Pre-Chorus 2]
It's the fear placed inside
By years of being fetishized and feeling like she's only there to be utilized, utilized
The fear placed inside
By years of being fetishized and feeling like she's only there to be utilized, utilized

[Chorus]
It doesn't have to be this way
No it doesn't have to face the face the face the face
It doesn't have to be this way
No it doesn't have to face the face
Almighty
