Cruel World

[Verse 1: MD] You may relate if you stray from the commonest traits That represent what you ain't, whether you honest or fake Epidermal dichotomy, honestly hate And pigmentation I say, is never flawless today In terms of recognition given, the importance of race Is pretty staggering, apparently determines your fate Whether you rap or you skate; the way you dress or you speak Vocabulary high, but the slang embedded in me Used to doubt that... until I said it and seen That I gotta ditch a stigma meant to meddle in me Me? Ain't really rich or ballin', but I rap to a T Oh, are... you noticing it's mentally weak To make assumptions on the attitudes developing, see We live on a planet together, dammit, the damage is damaging Man, it's hampering life, equality tampering Peep the features, characteristics and cultural limits Solely based upon beliefs, we gotta act what our skin is? Nah, I'm thinking different... [Modified Hook: MD] Goodbye... I think I've had it with the habits, and I've finally decided to fly... away Cruel world... goodbye You see I really love to live, but now the people got me desperate to hide Cruel world, goodbye [Verse 2: MD] Guess it's funny; we living with stereotypes I think I spend too much of my life With concerns how I fit 'em, and how I try and be different Still a black kid spittin', fit in Nikes and a fitted Or a snapback, listen to a track that has that Dope sound to it, not giving rap a bad rap Blast that, as that... song plays, sad fact: World tryna box me in, I'm looking past that Problem is, you out the norm: and it's a brash act And when you in the norm, you do some numbers, but you add stats Demographics; I wanna leave this world sometimes Never made this song for advocating suicide Problem comes from all the problems we got All depressed, in shock; problems finding what to rhyme To say I hate the world is probably a reach But then again, to say I hate the hate is definite truth The rationale behind it is beyond me And my mind is running circles; life has got me a caught in a loop Some of society is social indifference-- At the same damn time: the world is based on dividends All cool, we're bringing in immigrants I'm pretty livid cause we're showing 'em ignorant attitudes Cause our latitude is totally different Colour coding's alive, we know nobody's listening [Hook] Cruel world... goodbye I think I've had it with the habits, and I've finally decided to fly... away Cruel world... goodbye You see I really love to live, but now the people got me desperate to hide Cruel world, goodbye [Verse 3: Zen] She don't love me, at the moment I'm struggling Chase dreams with more time than I'm afforded, support it Days I wish space was no factor, trying to be a rapper, a poet You notice, how they try to kill it So I'm here vibing in the moment Sleep is getting harder when I'm knowing Tomorrow is another day-- no avoiding, I'm sorry Sometimes its super pessimistic If I get angry, change, we'll make it? Searching in this emptiness that we call home If I get angry, they are waiting For the rise and fall, like its my own I accepted my fate, no way to fight, no way to change Get it?
