[Intro]

I hide my tears from the crowd by smiling

(Jet 2 whussaap)

[Verse: Jet 2]

And this is where I get my energy

I ain't what them niggas pretend to be

Jet 2, this is me

Lost boy drownin' in the sea

Of hatred

And look around and you'll find

That you'll never ever get it

The American Dream

Now ask your politicians

Really what the fuck is it?

Money, cars, clothes, hoes

Big house, bunch of bitches

We've been brought up on bullshit

That's our lifelong mission

Time to wake up

Time to realize why the fuck we really livin'

Time to wake up

Time to realize why the fuck we really livin'

Time to seek the truth

Instead of eatin' all the bullshit we've been given

How we really free

If we ain't free when we ain't shit if we don't get it

These niggas don't get it

Now-a-days, bitches don't listen

Gotta wake up, gotta seek the truth

Ain't shit on television

What the fuck, they

Lied to us, they

Say that we gotta go to war

Ain't no love in they vision

Politicians all bitches

Tell the truth about 'em and they kill him

So if my voice gets heard

Come up missin', then you know they did it

In society, we got way too many bitches

Not enough women

In society, we got way too many niggas

Not enough real men

That'll take care of they children

We've been raised by rappers

And nobody's bothered

It's a trend to have no father

And they turn around and blame us

Like we made it this way

Really ain't our fault

But it's our fault if things stay the same

But it's either people ain't ready

Or willing to make the change

But I can't sit and watch it happen

Can't take the blame

Can't take the pain of smiling in niggas' face

Knowin' that I'm really hurtin' inside

Too damn weak to swallow my pride

Muthafuckas gotta get mad

If you wanna see the world smile

Like Malcolm X said

"Don't say freedom if you ain't ready to die

For it,"

Niggas talkin' 'bout hope, but the shit is all lies

And we all trapped inside the scheme

But we can change it if we all tried

But we glued to the Tube

Believing everything they tell you

Have you ever had the thought to wake up

And ask these muthafuckas why

Do they place these false idols

Fake ass niggas with bracelets and chains

That we chase in your face

As if we gon' find happiness by all of that shit

Go ahead

Work your whole life just to buy all of that shit

Hollywood, fucked up

D.C., fucked up

Middle East, fucked up

The whole world, fucked up

Just 'cause they entertain us

Then tell us everything we wanna hear

Which is bullshit, bullshit

Please get the fuck outta my ear

My soul's hungry, I need the truth

And it find it quite odd

Every time I follow the media

Find myself farther from God

Now why the fuck's that?

Why the fuck do y'all hide?

That's why they don't teach religion

Shit should be no surprise

Placing my right hand over my heart

Pledging my allegiance to Jesus

I don't worship a flag

What the flag do for me? Shit

Fuck Charles Darwin

Fuck evolution too, nigga

And fuck the person who tutored you

You'se a bitch

And I'ma heal the world through the truth

You'se a lie, and not everybody you could fool

Hope they really get it if they listen close

Money, cars, fame, clothes, hoes

Just ain't what I spit this for

I'm tired of hidin' pain when I spit this flow

I'm tired of followin' trends when I spit this flow

I'm tired of all these lies when truth is never told

Just 'cause the sand is golden

Doesn't mean it's ever gold

Gotta get over myself

What we all selfish for?

Ever thought tryna please God'll

Please yourself way more?

Ever thought tryna seek the truth'll

Probably free your soul

They just tell me, "if they ain't seekin' help

Then what you help them for?"

[Outro]

For some of y'all, it'll probably take a while

To really understand where I'm comin' from

With this, but I just want you to answer me this

Like, what's really the pursuit of happiness

'Cause I don't find happiness

In all the things we're chasin'

Just a little food for thought
