Nobody's Fool

[Kam Moye] I speak soft but I carry a big stick For me to be soft ain't a characteristic You adamant with thinking it then that'll get dismissed Cause then it's evident to me you haven't been listening Like Nixon in tele biz, nowadays sell in fear You afraid of me cause I tell it like the hell it is The way they sell them here, I don't wanna sell to live I got relatives doing Mandela years So all that back and forth bickering I ignore I've never seen a record deal that's worth dying for Proud to get you trapped like deer under a lion's paw They say "Homie right there, he ain't lying boy" This is like Job Corps training you with skills If I can pay my bills, fuck I wanna be a star for man? Before I used to be a sneaker head hardcore Till I seen children barely eating out in Darfur Now that's far more important than the latest trends I feel like rap music as a whole Has depreciated like a nineteen-eighty Mercedes Benz They'd rather see you wasting lives than saving 'em Disenfranchize and disable 'em Label 'em a conspiracy theorist and a crazy one I'm way beyond, thinking sheep-like Strategize more like a chess master to street fight I see the light [Hook: Tenille] I am nobody's fool Wasn't born yesterday I'm searching for the truth Until I pass away I am nobody's fool Wasn't born yesterday You do what works for you I'll live my life my way [Kam Moye] Yo, I don't ride to celebrity gossip or the media hoopla Is Paris Hilton possibly the key to my future? The news hardly speak on brothers until we do wrong Then they got it covered like the leader of the Ku Klux I can't bring myself to watch the six o'clock news They barely air it when a minority drop jewels But damn right, they gon' air the same nappy headed nigga missing teeth Standing on the block without shoes Ironic ain't it, damn near demonic isn't it The way they make us out to be porch monkeys and prisoners Arabs and asians and latinos too Take these words home and think it through, here's what they think of you All lying magazines and newspaper articles I read between the lines cause I ain't nobody's fool I tell my own fam you've gotta be involved That's if you want justice and equality for all I saw the world stand up and protest for Jena Six But sit around like neighborhood deaths are meaningless Many deaths happening but some of us were never shown Cause we didn't Jesse Jackson with a megaphone Or a sweaty Al Sharpton with his hair straight Don't become a modern day slave to the airwaves Think outside of the box, don't become a marionette Cause that's what compose a real threat And it's real like that [Hook] [Kam Moye] - {repeat 2X} Stay awake to the ways of the world Stay awake to the ways of the world Open up your eyes Stay awake to the ways of the world Stay awake to the ways of the world Watch for the lies
