What's Your Problem?

Description

So so so, here is original song #2 & original rap #1. Tiny bit rough around the edges, but I think the main idea is there. Lyrics are below and an explanation of the song can be found here: https://midplacementrambles.wordpress.com/2016/12/26/whats-your-problem/ Thank you to Matthew Fargher and Pulse Studios, yet again, for all of the production, ideas, support and general all-round greatness. - - - Lyrics I wanna start by pointing out there’s futility In blame, all shame, no gain, no aim, When you’re tryna get unity Though the wall you say you’ll build is all in the mind It’s dangerous - I’m incredulous that you have the time To prophesise, idealise, justify hate and crime Your crystal ball cloudy all polluted without the light Of rationality, democracy, overshadowed by eccentricity Hostility, I’m just tryna diligently say what comes to me What’s real to me, preserving freedoms dear to me, Nobility, tryna speak my mind without fear of being honest Hey, there’s the rub, I thought that honesty came with the place Make me a target because of my race Hey, there’s the rub Never too late to take it all back Start from a fresh and get it all back Hey, I’ll get up Soon as you start tryna bring us all down Rise like we do to the top from the ground Hey, there’s no doubt Fight for my rights every day of the week Sick of my silence and ready to speak Chorus What’s your problem? Don’t know how to solve ‘em So you propagate Restless hate I’m not playing games When you point the finger You’re a minister Of your own views Filling the pews Don’t want no bad news Rap verse 2 I hold this truth to be self-evident For the future provident Never to be compromised continually prominent Universal rights endowed and exercised to eminence Thank you to the UN, Jefferson and all you governments For keeping me on up in your Isles, Outta sight, outta mind Making me a number that is yet to see Beyond arbitrary walls of uncertainty For killing my brothers up on the street Chokehold they say ‘I can’t breathe’ Sentence hefty for my crime Like I have the time Now Trump calls, Trump all Say love trumps hate like a cat-call Yet a hate epidemic all seen by all Wind fall, that’s all I’m just being honest is all Tryna stay out of it all Guarantee my protection through the law Second amendment keeps my writing small Is the world that we live in coming to an end? I don’t know but I’m tired of sitting trying to pretend Not tryna play the blame game otherwise it’ll never end A cycle circularly cycling up on every bend Chorus Rap verse 3 Irrespective of the policy, odyssey it will come to me But honestly – who needs rules to show what should come naturally? Equality, humanity we value over animosity But funnily, need instructions on how to show love It confounds me Red tape that surrounds me Bureaucracy that never fails to legally define me Bind me Try me You can’t pacify By the paper you sign yet fail to align to What I’m trying to say is What they preach and sign is Within in all of us is Hidden in the better part of us and Even though they sit and accuse Yet, of the same right, they abuse Just remember humanity is marred by its own hypocrisy And instituting change starts from nowhere but internally.
