Stop Being Ignorant

November 16, 2012
You have no legitimate reason To judge someone because they’re gay How much you wanna bet you’d be pissed If someone told you not to be a certain way Not to live a certain lifestyle Not to go after a certain dream Bet that would degrade you as a person And lower your self esteem The world blaming others and pointing fingers Saying ‘Oh, he ain’t right’ or ‘She’s insane’ Well you know what? Forget what they think I’d like to see what they keep contained in their brains Yall need to just stop creating excuses That excel your personal elevation or degradation Sometimes in order to move on You gotta be patient and stay stationed Letting people walk over you They’re chewing you up like gum And sticking you under their table And in order to get scraped off You give in so they can give you a ‘better’ label But what’s the meaning of that label really worth If it means giving up your own title When you choose to be someone else Don’t forget to take your script with you To every recital It’s in our nature to be judgmental But someone disagreeing with you Doesn’t make them any more or less of a person Yeah, life’s a b**** But not taking the hit and overcoming it Will only cause your problems to worsen If I were to compare life to Survival of the fittest Many of you wouldn’t be surviving Yeah, you all have the voice to shout a demand But no one’s got the will to work and start supplying.
