Iya Chel - So Prideful

Generation after every gen, does the ignorance of people just ever stick out to you
They say “find no heart, forget your brain, relax a bit
Can’t seize a pain, should not exist"
Replaying in your mind’s queue
Then the rest just focus on the headlines, propaganda lying out awake
Past the bedtime
But as long as you keep your hands in mine
Struggle love think and preach how everything is just fine
Yet things are falling out, the strong like to hide behind a pout
Great storm of ideas float no drought
Know electric skies will shine brighter in this brown out
“Close up your body”
“You don’t look out for me”
“Nowhere in life, sustainability”
“Shut your damn mouth, you’re not allowed to speak”
“Close up your body”
“You don’t look out for me”
“Nowhere in life, sustainability”
“Shut your damn mouth, you’re not allowed to speak”
You know I've been thinking
Not trying to force it, but I hope you can let it sink in
Cause I
We’re living on a set from Gen X to Gen Y, must a “Z” remind you of the alphabet
Primary instinct, morals that should ground us
Live a type of way much greater than our founders
More effective than the egocentrics of the past
'Cause I'm tryna make you self aware about your act
Shun out all the woke, shun out all the great
Shun out all the people who choose to grow themselves
Not just themselves, unlike you
Anyways
“Close up your body”
“You don’t look out for me”
“Nowhere in life, sustainability”
“Shut your damn mouth, you’re not allowed to speak”
“Close up your body”
“You don’t look out for me”
“Nowhere in life, sustainability”
“Shut your damn mouth, you’re not allowed to speak”
Are you really that proud of being all up in the spotlight
Said not to be loud if you’re the only one crying
Waahhh
Why are you crying when you blame the masses
The same people make excuses in front of the cameras
Just cause you’re older don’t mean you’re wiser
Just cause I’m younger don’t mean I’m a fool for saying what I have in mind
You think it’s not true
Despite
But I won’t stoop below
Are you mad
Are you this mad
Are you just mad that I'm vocal
Let’s just celebrate
Good people still exist no matter what, combat the hate
Let’s just celebrate
Good people still exist no matter what, combat the hate
Your pride
Forget your pride
Why the pride
Too much pride
So much pride, baby
So prideful
