Pick up
the world is so rotten
Get up
the world is so rotten
Pick up
Ive seen it so often…
And no one would have guessed this girl on the country road
would have ever had a story worst than yours to be told
And you suckas act like your ancestors were sold
by my ancestors who were more poor than
cracked out hoe
than a cracked out hoe
So start runnin’ your mouth at the wrong face
keep starin’ me down like I’m at a better place
when now struggles are more common
the carts are full of ramen…
as your keep prolonging
the honest truth….
that you would rather abuse than use
your skills to to help reduce
the violence
inside your community, crippling your youth….
And no one ever guesses the country girl would even know
what it is like to reach the lowest of low
but what gives you the right to act like you know
what I am, just from where I came from yo
preaching I don’t know how to dance
stereotyping me like I’m good at math
Like I never get pulled over by the cops
or had a friend steal my watch
well I have the tickets to put you on blast
so why don’t you stop making me wear this fallacy of a mask
why don’t you try to figure out we all are just trying to last
in this game where…
the world is so rotten
So get up….
prepare
since the world is so fn rotten.
