False Idols

The holier than thou crowd is coming off foul

A loud mouth sound mistook for profound

A sight to behold to watch a parent getting sold

The life of their soul for a tyrant, no control

Stuck in a state like a nigga with a case

The lack of a faith has brought me more grace

Preaching for some peace after a shot to be sentiment while reaching for a pellet piece when asked to save the innocent

Quick to call police who reek of pure Insolence

Capitol decrease

What a weird coincidence

 

Take a seat at the table and break bread with the residents, but say they shouldn't eat or buy meds as a precedence ‘cause they'd rather see 'em laid dead with no hesitance for an increase of wealth, getting fed by the negligence

The case in here is evident how they're so malevolent so they can keep the precipice to have any relevance

They'll vote for a president that they call a heaven sent who's the real genesis of a mass exodus

I thread my needle swiftly and sew another wallet shut

We could keep it a buck, but they won't give it up

Folks are starving with begging pleas, but they don't give a fuck

Trekking on their knees, but they feel the need to lock 'em up

Outside, in the streets, not making any sense

Fighting for elites, coming in hard to their defense

Fascist fueled breeders complain about any small expense

They should follow their leader to the full extent

 

One true ruler to lead the democracy

They'll call you crazy if you see the hypocrisy

No false idols should ever work the stand unless they're shopped in and sworn by the hand
