N.E. Dub - Conditioned

Conditioned as a child and told what to become
The framework was laid and we’re expected to succumb
Children born into archaic, misguided systemic depravity
Far too young to really sense the gravity

Conditioned as young men and taught how to behave
The paradigm was set and we’re expected to obey
“Boys will be boys after all”; toxic behavior normalized
Far too young to really cypher through the lies

It’s been a lifetime now that you’ve been spoon-fed the lies
Misplaced aggression and a sexual-based sense of pride
They’ve got you acting on impulse and thinking with your dick
It’s so ingrained in you now you never think to quit
So confused by who you’re supposed to be
What you’re proving and who you’re proving it to remains to be seen
Fuck your toxic masculinity
So fucking detached and ignorant to reality

I’ve been living a long time now and I finally see the light
It’s not enough to just walk away
I need to look this in the eye
It’s time to analyze everything; unlearn the poison they fed to you
The little child inside of me finally sees the truth

It’s been a lifetime now that you’ve been spoon-fed the lies
Misplaced aggression and a sexual-based sense of pride
They’ve got you acting on impulse and thinking with your dick
It’s so ingrained in you now you never think to quit
So confused by who you’re supposed to be
What you’re proving and who you’re proving it to remains to be seen
Fuck your toxic masculinity
So fucking detached and ignorant to reality
