Ansar. - Change

Maybe I could write it
I'm feeling so undecided
This ain't the shit you could vibe with
This is the shit I fill my pride with
It's easy to dictate from a pedestal
But I partake in a different kind of ritual
Watching the drunks in my state of sobriety
The clubs loud but my mind shifts quietly
They ask me what they could change to try to be better people
I used to think me and society were never equal
The more I think I realize I'm part of what I've been hating this whole time
Doesn't matter the gem, in the dark it won't shine
Hating my own kind
Include it in bold rhymes
But what the hell is the point, when they be looking for joints
To recede whatever they're growing
I guess you sleep in the sheets that you end up sowing
Man I wanna make a change but I don't know where to start
Living in the system where we all play a part
I'm not trying to sound smart
To tell you the truth, the truth is hard
So when they ask me to tell em just how I feel
I don't have the heart
The truth is hard
That's all I tell em, the truth is hard
Harder than a passion for the arts
In this God forsaken destitution
We call a country but really it's just an institution
So many problems but I can't give you a good solution
Officials bribing judges hiding what they all accused of
Church and state been together but got no education
We were minorities but now we want the segregation
My elevation in this hell is wasted
I see the truth but what the hell am I supposed to do to change it
I mean we all know the truth
To rip a tree up out the ground you gotta yank the roots
But when you're in a forest
That's been growing, where the light ain't even showing
It feels like it never matters what you do
I apologize… all this seems to do is make us traumatized
Respect to those who been speaking up for the longest time
They understanding that the problem lies
With conformity, so don't you ever fall in line
I wanna make a change I guess I know where to start
Living in the system where we all play a part
Yes the road is dark, but we're all in this together
I know the truth is hard, but it won't be like this forever
So if you're troubled at how this shit doesn't change
Find peace in the fact that we maintain
If you're troubled at how this shit doesn't change
Find peace in the fact that we maintain
