I Speak My Mind
So I'm not the person you thought I would be
Get all defensive because I spit straight honesty
My thoughts I don't keep them inside
I don't want them to hide
I want to bring you on this ride
This world is changing
But my thoughts I'm not rearranging
The truth will come out of this mouth
Whether I offend you in the north or the south
I tell you how it is and your quiet as a mouse
I was put on this earth to bring down this wicked house
I don't get trapped in this fascist institution
I won't allow anyone to strip our constitution
While you sit back and let the media give you mind pollution
Hate me or love me I really don't mind
Take a trip in my world and see what you'll find
