I have great news.. Apparently most of the people I know have the answers to America's problems. From my coworkers to family, artist friends and that one conspiracy theorist homie approaching his 40s still living off his parents.
Honestly, they either tried most of our ideas and failed or likely have the right answers, but too busy playing politricks to fix whats broken.
I ain't telling you not to have an opinion, please do. I'm just telling you it ain't that simple.. though I wish it were.

Chillin comfortable on the fence
While the world get offended in defense
Twelfth round and we in the clinch
You crying, angry complaining from the bench
Man, fuck the world with a broke broom stick and a middle finger
Anybody in power, use an iron fist and a stinger
I know I ain’t got the answer that’s the dif between us
I mean it’s more to politricks than just being a genius
See it’s some shit that better change but it’s gon take a while
Probably not in our lifetime, we not in out right mind
You think cause we disagree you gotta fake a smile
Like he part of that right side, and follow that white lie
I never fully aligned with a party, even a homie
That’s not original thought, that’s a fuckin robot
Aint got a shot at POTUS not playing 2 sides against the middle
We voters for lesser evil, still stuck in a pickle
I ain't saying shut up and dribble
I’m telling you shit is not that simple
Fighting each other over scraps and kibble
While the puppeteers laugh and giggle
We headed towards another war that's civil
Throwing rocks and barely causing a ripple
And so i burn sage for my crystals, blow trees like a whistle
Try to read just to ease my mental
I don’t like to be pessimistic but the truth is in the batter
The rich are overconsuming getting fatter
You either believe the data, or gossip over the chatter
But fighting over opinions don’t matter
It’s some shit that we changed through protests and fighting on front lines,
And sharing on social media posts
Still it’s some shit that’ll take us some generations, it ain’t about having patience
What we gon do til they change or we revolt.
So what’s your plan of approach? Cause fuck being a martyr
I’ll learn the game and drop jewels on my sun and my daughter
We on a ship in the ocean, but ain’t controlling the weather
It’s sink or swim. Suit up in a life jacket or complain bout the water
I’m tryna change my community directly for the people i’m affecting
Though my passion, make the most out of my actions
You're not an elephant or donkey... Your team is the people
So if you're really bout solutions check your mother fuckin ego
I ain't saying shut up and dribble
I’m telling you shit is not that simple
Fighting each other over scraps and kibble
While the puppeteers laugh and giggle
We headed towards another war that's civil
Throwing rocks and barely causing a ripple
And so i burn sage for my crystals, blow trees like a whistle
Try to read just to ease my mental
