I Stick My Neck Out
Verse One:
Your stumblin' over the thunderin' of the rumblin' comin’ from an artist,
This isn't for the radio, they can't play it though, cause I go it the hardest,
Not 'cause of bad words, I got the sharp swords, to cut the throats of cowards,
I plug in communication, got my own nation, a demonstration of power,
F Obama, I'm in my Honda, I'm Richard Donner, he's just the Donner Party,
Let him be cannibal, he can be Hannibal, I hope his food is really hearty,
He left the hat empty, i guess it was heavy, but not for a guy like me,
Philosopher King, with the right queen, making the moves to make people free,
Call me the President of the United States of all the artists,
The only position that really matters, because it means we're smartest,
Let's talk survival, toss out your idol, I got my mind full of knowledge,
Go ask your friends, you need some ends, take another loan for college,
I'm spittin' truth, got me some proof, I'm breaking the roof, just like a hurricane,
You need a pencil, this is your stencil, this is sequential, you won't go insane,
I'm keeping it simple, causing a ripple, you think it's a dimple, but it's a wave,
You wanna be free?, act responsibly, or you just stay a slave.
Chorus:
I see people dying,
I see people crying,
I see people trying,
I stick my neck out,
I see people killing,
I see people stealing,
I see people healing,
I stick my neck out,
I see people falling,
I see people balling,
I see people calling,
I stick my neck out,
I see people humming,
I see people drumming,
I see people coming,
I stick my neck out.
Verse Two:
You know, I run into a lot of people,
That don't know jack about life,
I see so much evil,
It seems like someone wants this strife,
There's a lot of problems on this planet,
But it's nothing that the masses can't fix,
But if you watch nothing but television,
You might actually fall for all these tricks,
Your neighborhood is actually pretty safe,
But the news wants you locking your doors,
Do you even know your neighbors really well?,
Or do you envy what they got and wish they'd go to hell?,
We got way more in common than we got different,
So why is it so easy to get upset or even fight?,
Could it be that there's really a third party?,
A specific person or group causing the fright,
Things don't just happen, they're caused,
There's no such things as accidents or just because,
The world isn't a big preschool, people grow up,
So if you want to see it change, just stand up.
Chorus:
I see people dying,
I see people crying,
I see people trying,
I stick my neck out,
I see people killing,
I see people stealing,
I see people healing,
I stick my neck out,
I see people falling,
I see people balling,
I see people calling,
I stick my neck out,
I see people humming,
I see people drumming,
I see people coming,
I stick my neck out.
I see people waking up,
I see people climbing up,
Out of the slime,
I see people making it this time,
I stick my neck out.
Outro:
Do I have the legal authority to do this?
And the answer is absolutely.
