Ramblings of a Restless Mind

The fanatical have now reached 
critical level. 
It seems to me 
the sound of mind have taken
a sabbatical.

Seems to me 
that there's a lot going on 
more than the eye can see
I can't believe 
people actually fall for what 
they be saying on the TV. 

Thats just insanity. 
Don't the public see 
that the media only operates
to create conflict
and deceive. 

So take in what I'm layin down.
Look up. 
See what's goin round. 
Open up your eyes 
and soak in the pill of truth. 
The answer lies
beneath the ruse produced

The news wants us scared.
Instead of giving us the truth,
they'd much rather us live in fear. 
Showing nothing but people 
getting shot up the block, 
and guess what, 
the shooter's always cops. 

Men in blue are racists, 
so dont aspire to be a cop. 
Spiking our blood anytime
a police car rolls up. 

Police brutality's a thing, 
but like with anything, 
a rotten apple doesn't spoil
the whole batch babe,

These men live and die 
to serve and protect you.
They bleed blue.
Pay respect where it's due. 
Don't disparage an entire force 
due to the piss poor actions 
of the poisoned few.

So take in what I'm layin down. 
Look up. 
See what's goin round. 
Open up your eyes 
and soak in the pill of truth. 
The answer lies 
beneath the ruse produced

I'm seeing women 
marching these streets,
trying to maintain
some semblance of dignity. 
That I can stand beside,
but Kathy Griffin's joke 
against the pres
I can't get behind. 

Its asinine. 
Now if that's feminism, 
then forgive me, 
but I resign. 
I'd much rather
have peace of mind. 

I might not like the pres, 
but we got to find 
another way
to move past 
these difficult  times.

So take in what I'm layin down. 
Look up. 
See what's goin round. 
Open up your eyes 
and soak in the pill of truth. 
The answer lies 
beneath the ruse produced

See,
Terrorism isn't just across the seas. 
Hell no!
Terrorism's right in front of me, 
in our schools,
in our homes, 
blatantly happening
right on our streets. 

Fuck, it even happened
at a concert 
of Jason Aldeans! 
This I can't believe.
This I can't unsee.
If we stay on this trajectory, 
we face massive catastrophe! 

And yet we focus
on staying politically correct. 
All diplomatic
while our country's 
under duress.

Well,
Fuck politically correct! 
Who these leaders
trying to impress?
We need to fix this mess!

Now,
I'm not saying
we need to kick everyone out.
No, 
what I'm saying
is we need to protect 
the one's with us now.

We're so focused 
on pleasing everyone
on a global scale
that we forget 
about the ones
in our own country
that need our help. 

Like Puerto Rico, 
and the Us Virgin Islands.
Our supposed leaders 
turned a blind eye to em!  

These are our people, 
and our government
left them to die.
Shit like this
Wow, it just blows 
my mind. 

Its a wonder
we don't break 
from the 
unsurmountable sins 
built up 
from time.

What the fuck's up
with the world 
these days. 
We've lost our way. 
And the rich 
are bathing in green 
while they watch 
world waste away
And I'm here to say

Take in what I'm layin down. 
Look up. 
See what's goin round.
Open up your eyes 
and soak in the pill of truth. 
The answer lies 
beneath the ruse produced

This country's now 
a bleeding wound. 
Raining blood
like a damn monsoon. 

A cesspool
of ignorance,
especially now
with the king of hate
as our president. 

See now,
people are divided 
instead of United 
hating and killing 
and villianizing 
the innocent.

I bet you if the ones 
who sacrificed their lives 
for a better nation 
could see us today.
What would they say? 
Not a damn thing, 
they'd turn 
and hang their heads 
they'd be so ashamed. 

And we're all to blame. 
Pointing fingers
left and right
just to spark a fight. 
Hating someone 
based on prejudice, 
now you know 
that just ain't right.

You preach first amendment, 
and yet you attack anyone 
who you deem ignorant
just cause they don't agree with you.
They'll wreck you
just to spite you.

Force us to pick a side, 
and if it ain't left,
you condemn anyone 
who chooses right
