There's something wrong with us

Change is a simple thing

But it's hard to come by

We're not sure what it means

And we don't really want to change

We breathe life into odd traditions

Like Shirley Jackson's understanding of winning

We're detrimental to ourselves

People who only talk when they're ignorant of a subject

And ignorance isn't bliss because it turns into arrogance

And we use that way of knowing to make our decisions

Like stereotyping people and we just chilling

And the mood ain't killing, just people

Guns don't do a thing they say

It's the person behind them

Using their tools to indent flesh wounds

And sometimes they emotionally hurt people too

Like words are tools and they have meaning

Yet they're given multiple meanings

Like what is context?

Are we referring to sexual orientation

Or describing something as lame

And when you say those things are you just emotionally vacant?

Where's the respect for another?

Your woman, your lover, or how about a fallen brother?

We can be narcissistic and find others inferior

Your subconscious is unconscious when you're delirious

When you see the world as black and white and you're all that's gray

And we wonder why the world isn't a better place

We need to try as individuals not to over simplify what we over complicate

We need to respect ourselves but first evaluate

Have we treated others fairly with dignity not disparity

Can we tolerate others to make a difference?

Like it may not be that simple 

But there's wrong in us that's indispensable

And there you'll find the solution

That's all that I'm saying
