Usman - Mist Toronto 2014: Woodlands School lyrics

They say if you're generous everything will fall into place But if you disobey it'll move apart See that got me thinking hey it's a really great indication for you to start To a**imilate, eliminating the few remarks regarding Innovation allowing you to pick a place and put you in charge But if you were smart, you'd see we're not thinking straight because either way You're swimming with a pool of sharks given that you're true to heart So when you're put in a body cast they're not giving you a movie part Now when you see minorities being mistreated you would think it's due to racism But you also have to take into consideration both regions way of thinking For example in the Middle East you can do anything you want and get away with it You can rob houses, mace women; knock out kids, rape children And by the time they arrive on the scene and the cops found a trace in ‘em The main victim would've bought out a plane ticket And made visits to Moscow and Great Britain But in the States its way different See if you commit a crime you better make sure that you've got out to a safe distance ‘Cause if you're not 100 meters behind the scene of the crime when the clocks down to 8 minutes You'll either be shot down like clay pigeons Or locked now in state prison without a case pending It's ironic how it takes wisdom to realize our brains missing Instead of shape shifting into a better nation We're lane switching avoiding obstacles in order to stay driven And how can you really say that earth cured of racism when we're a slave in it And authorities with a pale pigment Have the upper hand in this plagued system If you don't believe me, pay a visit to a teenager who reached the age limit Where their mission is to collect every Obey fitted And remain hidden from the outside world Cooped up in one place like they're serving a jail sentence Walk into their room as soon you make your way in it The first thing you'll notice is every square inches of wall Are covered with a rare vintage of Ray Simmons or a framed image of Drake in it Encouraging negativity with their fame in hopes to making change with it Leads me to believe that they didn't deserve this great privilege It's hard to bare with it We should be concerned about those with less than a great income Being forced to pay interest But it just goes to show you that our faint vision Makes it hard for us to see that when the steaks risen, our main instinct Is to be worried about how many Abe Lincolns Can fit in the pocket of Blake Griffin It's too late to find to cure and guide a hurt nation But it could've been avoided if we were inside the first stages And had the slightest urge to try and birth changes See if they had resources and money, the kind that your making Then they might convert every designer purse into a life alert bracelet Their price or worth is determined at the time their birthed ain't it? ‘Cause their life is cursed to either work inside of bird cages Or windup confined on worn slaveships to islands mining earth Designed to earn payslips The children get sniped on curbs until their face slides on burnt pavement While their mothers strive to work in pile of dirt as if their on a Heisenberg dayshift Plus what they all eat for lunch… is worse than a Sharkeisha punch So what's happening there should be considered an onslaught at best Especially when monarchs chop off their head like they watch Walking Dead Which makes proper sense ‘cause when they grab a machete and saw off their legs The victims look like they're playing hopscotch the way they start to walk zombie steps It's not common sense that we live everyday like a Hallmark event Even though we may talk about it nonstop to vent But we tend to secure our comfort zone like a watchdog instead There's no generosity if they see you crawl on cement and stomp on your chest Even though the force is a heart stopper and a lot stronger Than Paul Walkers d**h Hold up, that's not disrespect I just showed y'all how easy it is to get a reaction from people When all the media does is bombard us every time we log on the net With different images of the aftermath of Paul's vehicle and how the car parts were bent In different directions like a crosswalk is read But what I'm saying is if the same exposure was given to those who got robbed and left Then maybe society won't rollbacks like Walmart after a product has not brought a cent Recognize we'll sever ties if situations like the holocaust start to spread ‘Till genocide is kept alive then we'll see where that thought process led But then again, it's not like we really care, we laugh at it I love Toronto but we need to be a bit aware About the things they share, look back at it To be crystal clear, it appears we can't fathom The different spheres that interfere with a lands famine For instance we haven't been aware that panhandling On the city square makes you more income than opening a business there For Macadam If we were to bring it to the surface The government wouldn't think it's fair, I'm giving prayers That that happens ‘Cause once it does the public would stay still and stare At the different layers that are handcrafted in the system But try to protest and the millionaires living there would ransack it We should be grabbing a brigadier who's a captain of privateers And backslap ‘em But instead we live in fear and think it's a big severe to stand past ‘em Leap over the norm instead of keeping your distance near like jackrabbits ‘Cause the corruption won't disappear As long we witness the mischief the fills the air and backpack it We're switching gears to advance it, we've given care to bad habits But it's hard not to when our city mayor's a crack addict (Rob Ford) And it's funny because the same people who voted for the man are making accusations Saying hasn't gave the same rights to Blacks and Asians And has favored the white like the crack he's blazing But I stand mistaken Rob Ford can't be racist especially when he's half Jamaican The news caught on it quick As if they had a real concern of what crack c**aine did But it's all to distract you from the fact he's a master of tax evasion See while Rob Ford is inspiring others from the path he's paving People back home have no path they can navigate with And had to bare with watching their parents get shot without a ransom statement It's nothing They pull out a magnum raise it, in the face of someone who hasn't ate or drank for ages But they can't escape it Because the guilt inside them grows at a faster rate than the pa**ing tailwind So while they're k**ing people while they're only dying themselves like a gang related cancer patient They seem like nothing's wrong when the cameras face ‘em But it's all an act to sell the product by any mean like an angry salesman While people back home are complaining about how half the nation Is damned and plagued with A disease that has no standard vaccination We complain about how our back is aching ‘cause we had a bad vacation to the Appalachians You shouldn't be expecting leeway when haven't gave it Because if you run straight in it with unpaid business, you'll get a 1 way ticket like a travel agent Plus they don't have the slightest chance or faith when They're in a constant battle with a batch of masons Who pray for the hand of Satan To bash they're face in on a Ca**ius Clay tip
