Exile

[Intro] Though I empathize with 'em and sympathize with 'em (x4) [Verse 1] Though I empathize with 'em and sympathize with 'em I don't enterprise with 'em or synchronize with 'em We don't strategize with 'em, we're not allies with 'em We don't fratenize with 'em, let 'em patronize We don't want no ties with 'em, we won't monopolize with 'em Let 'em ostracize, we don't compromise with 'em We won't victimize with 'em, commit genocide with 'em Spit their lies with 'em or objectify women with 'em Socialize with 'em, broke my ties with 'em Now we open-eyed in this over-hyped system We know [Hook] This wisdom of man is foolishness to God Don't build on the sand or trust in the odds Be shrewd as the snakes and innocent as doves Don't succumb to hate, overcome hate with love [x2] [Verse 2] We're taught not to question the status quo cause the masses Never get heard, that's unless you're established With expert professors in dress-shirts and glasses That lecture to classes from lecterns where next term The best third will pass and earn cash working as Desk clerks for the best firms in Manhattan Where the pressure can crack 'em cause networks and net worth And class get treasured over pleasures that last Always measuring stacks, a passion for lesser God's growing, see, the distraction is clever But trust [Hook] [Verse 1 (repeated)] [Hook x2]
