Shad: Exile

Though I sympathize with em
And empathize with em
I dont synchronize with em
Or enterprise with em
We dont fratenize with em
Were not allies with em
We dont strategize with em
Let em patronize
We dont want no ties with em
Wont monopolize with em
Let em ostracize
We don't
compromise with em
We wont victimize with em
Commit genocide with em
Spit their lies with em
Or objectify women with em
Socialize with em
Broke my ties with em
Now we open-eyed in this over-hyped system
We know

Chorus:
This wisdom of man
Is foolishness to God
Dont build on the sand
Or trust in the odds
Be shrewd as the snakes
And innocent as doves
Dont succumb to hate
Overcome hate with love
(x2)

Were taught not to question to status
quo cuz the masses never get heard
thats unless your established
with expert professors in dress-shirts
and glasses that lecture to classes
from lecterns
where next term the best third will pass an
earn cash working as
dresk clerks for the best firms in manhattan
where the pressure can crack em
cuz networks and net worth and class get
treasured over pleasures that last
always measuring stacks
a passion for lesser gods
growing, see the distraction is clever
but trust

(chorus)

Though I sympathize with em
And empathize with em
I dont synchronize with em
Or enterprise with em
We dont fratenize with em
Were not allies with em
We dont strategize with em
Let em patronize
We dont want no ties with em
Wont monopolize with em
Let em ostracize
We don't
compromise with em
We wont victimize with em
Commit genocide with em
Spit their lies with em
Or objectify women with em
Socialize with em
Broke my ties with em
Now we open-eyed in this over-hyped system
We know

(chorus)
