lyrics
Shareef
I'm getting kind of tired of all these people saying I'm lying
when I'm out on the streets and all I'm really doing is trying
to find a better way to build a better place
when none of them are willing to stand up make the change
and if we didn't do it, then who the fuck would?
and if nobody does it, do you really think thats good?
not me mate, I know exaclty where that leads
your civil rights will be dying like they caught a disease
and yet it seems like your completely at ease
with dismissing these facts by saying 'conspiracy'
I know you don't believe in the lizard overlords
me either mate, so lets' get to moving forwards
our generation is facing economic disgrace
the rich get richer and the rest learn their place
and if you can't stand up for whats rightfully yours
then get out of my way and let me do it for ya
Hook x 2
(So tired)
Of all the things these people say
Shareef 2
Another one the things that I'm tired about
is people getting loud when theres no need to shout,
when we on the same team and you screaming at me
beyond the ideal of the dream what happened to peace?
what happened to trust and building understanding
to cards on the table - upturned hands and
knowing the power you seek is found in our unity
bound to your ability to work with me respectfully
effectively, if you fail to show respect
then how can you expect your demands to get met,
dead set, you need a better education
one which teaches you how to channel your frustrations
yeah, I understand you want to challenge the system
but it's going to take more than just screaming your opinion,
you got to open your eyes up open your ears and listen
and you better be ready to face up to the criticism
Hook x2

i feel tired every day of my life im not gonna lie
feel tried by these people that are causin the strife
but feel applied when i get on the mic
write a rhyme no block yeah im feelin alright
they say its hard to get up and speak of yo mind
but its harder to live with the the results of not tryin
to say what ya feel, say what ya mean
endin up with nothin but hatred and whole lot of ill feelin ..
can't let it go jealousys a bitch
that little itch ya can't scratch, thats little SICHuation
that's got ya mind racin, tryin to place it
refusing to face it still knowin what the case is
so ya put the cards on the table face up
sick and tired, just had enough
let respect be earned, to build the trust that we yearn
signing out selekt few I hope a lesson you’ve learned
