[Skylar Grey]
It's so loud Inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can't take back the words I never said
I can't take back the words I never said
[Verse 1:Lupe Fiasco, Rilo]
(I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullsh**)
That's right Lupe people that don't think that they're just foolish
It don't matter if you're black white Christian maybe j**ish
I'm here to do something to your mind you think that school did
Nah. They're just there to keep you
Cause in the future they might creep up on you and say they need you
For reasons thats so dark inside its not exactly see through
Freedom is my calling card and I'm speaking for the people
Yeah
I may be speaking bout the same thing
Segregation makes the nation hostile where do you hang
In the mist of the war smoke or in the lies like your pope
The worlds unfair cause everybody's lazy
Everybody's on there a** talking bout maybe
Well maybe if you act on facts there may be crazy aftermaths
If you're looking for the answers I'm the teacher for you after cla**
Think about the words that I say and don't believe what the media plays
Stop thinking in radio waves
The future could be saved if you listen to your brain
And don't be know as just the same
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco, Rilo]
(Now we can say it's not our fault, if we never heard it)
But think about the situation, is it really worth it?
You're thinking bout the better, while everything is worsened
You're thinking bout the change that you're never really earning
Listen to the cries at night the souls of people burning
Don't worry bout letting out truth even if the gov is at your door
We could be resting in the lead just put the message on receive
And don't believe the f**ing message on the teeeve
We take a step an then we leave which is why the gov is on your beef
You think that things are true cause you hear them from your peers
But did you know the cure for cancer been here many years?
Doubt you do cause doctors tell you that were almost there
Now tell me some thing does that even sound a little fair?
You pay your taxes and you think there's no more loans to pay
Little did you know
(They can take your home away)
[Final Verse]
(I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence)
We think that things are hard when we never even tried it
(We scared of almost everything, afraid to even tell the truth)
I'm only here to help you through I hope that I'm not failing you
We gotta make them scared of you and make it so they can't refuse
(Consider this your bailing out, so take a breath, inhale a few
My screams is finally getting free, my thoughts is finally yelling through)
