The problem with society's been how do we teach
And if they'll believe
We'll fight this battle for years to come
'till we only accept that we can stand on our own

Grandfather used his hands, he worked them to the bone (to the bone)
Provide his family with a happy home, alone

Don't take your aggression out on me
My own man is all I'm meant to be
It's commonplace, it's so lazy, old, and tired
All your ideas are so fucking uninspired
Takes more than one idea
More than one person to fight the fight
How many times have you taught and not conspired?

You don't wanna be, then never say
But don't call us the liars

We've walked these alleys a thousand times
And scattered around a thousand lies
They are trying to hold you down
Your life may be hard, but keep your feet on the ground

Why don't I have the finer things that others have? (that others have)
The chance is there if you want it all that bad
So bad

Don't take your aggression out on me
My own man is all I'm meant to be
It's commonplace, it's so lazy, old, and tired
All your ideas are so fucking uninspired
Takes more than one idea
More than one person to fight the fight
How many times have you taught and not conspired?

Don't try and get me confused
'Cause I do understand
That sometimes people need help
That they may need a
Hand when this problem's going on

A thing you have to get straight
Is that you don't own my hand
And I don't owe you a thing
So don't think about how
Sorry you feel when now your treated so bad

It's commonplace, it's so lazy, old, and tired
All your ideas are so fucking uninspired
Takes more than one idea
More than one person to fight the fight
How many times have you taught and not conspired?

And as a race we look back and we've come so far
While some may conquer
The others had it so hard
But instead we just complain
While there's no one for us to fight
I guess we're bored and it's how we keep us occupied!
