The Body of Ignorance
We meet the enemy
 With the feeling of defeat
 No more pride
 For we can’t even provide
 Enough to live
 Life, Freedom
 Where is it
 Have we been sleep
 For far too long
 Snap out of it
 Stop day dreaming
 Rise up to the occasion
 Claim your self-worth
 Don’t let it diminish
 Before your eyes
 The body has to die
 Let the ignorance and syndrome
 Be set aside
 Stockholm go away 
 For your body has died
 Passed down from them
 And on to us
  Not once did we ever 
 Put up a fuss
 It hurts so much
 Don’t know who to trust
 Laughs all around
 But it all ends in frowns
 Are we not worthy of our 
 Crowns
 Erasing our self-worth
 Like words on a paper
 Except this pain 
 Doesn’t go away 
 Dumbing us down
 Thinking it’s cute
 But really
 You look like a fool
 To them and to us
 We lay down our
 Self-worth
 Without a fuss
 Willie Lynch
 That’s the one 
 Who you should blame
 The reason why you barely
 Know the meaning of your name
 The chains
 1712
 That’s the year he did it
 Had a little speech
 Taught the masters how to split it
 Yeah
 He taught that conquer and divide
 From young to old
 To darks and lights
 The bloods and crips
 We all taught to fight
 This oppression that we face
 Is mostly inside
 And yeah
 It’s still there
 The reason why we perm
 Our hair 
 The cars, the clothes
 Did I forget the roles
 It’s crazy to see 
 The roads that we’re on
 With a bit of education
 We can all move on
 It’s time to wake up
 No more degrading ourselves
 Zombies go to the graves
 Lost souls rise up
