A.K. - Break from Politics

Too many things going on
Too many arguments
Too many voices at once
Too many views in politics
We're yelling at each other have you ever seen the news?
Hysteria and screaming, whatever gets the views
Debates full of hate
Every word is disrespect
Nobody humble enough to admit they're incorrect
Even people on the left, look at yourself close
We're turning into the people that we hated the most
If I say nothing then I stand with the oppressor
But do the words I say really bring us more together?
Left and right divide widens with every word
You can see the bridge between us and it's starting to burn
My mama told me speak with your mind, listen with your heart
Politics is crazy it's tearing us apart
The only place I feel I can escape is in the art
So this might not fix it all but, it's a start
There are times I hate what you saying
But I still love you, but I still love you
There are times I hate what you saying
But I still love you, but I still love you
What good is this song though?
What good is this tape?
If you're hearing this now then we already relate
Fam, we on the same page
The fact that you even like rap means you're a liberal under the age of 28
So what boundaries am I breaking? Whose minds am I changing?
News feed like Taco Bell: different name, same shit
We never see things that challenge our opinions
And when we do, we dismiss it, that's the way we've been conditioned
I hold opinions 'bout those I know nothing about
'Cause to be honest with you man I've never been to the south
We only see extremes 'cause that's what makes headlines
So very few represent the views on both sides
I'm tired of CNN representing me and my thoughts
I'm tired of judging you based on what people say on Fox
I know good Republicans and bad Democrats
So let's take a break from politics and talk man to man
We're all hypocrites man I'm no exception
I have my views in place and it's hard to change 'em
To be honest I identify too much with my thoughts
And admitting that I'm wrong means letting go of a part of who I am
So look, I'm not saying we'll agree
But I don't think those debates that we watch on TV
Is representative of you or represents me either
Together, we're greater than the lesser of two evils
There are times I hate what you saying
But I still love you, but I still love you
There are times I hate what you saying
But I still love you, but I still love you
