Lyrics Self Ownership - BackWordz

Self Ownership

From the willfully ignorant the knowledge you won’t get none
But don’t get it twisted I too was dumb and then some
Support a politician, sit back and then twiddle his thumbs
Not understanding that you have Stockholm Syndrome
They have no desire to save you
It’s not because the folks serving are not fit
It’s not because we don’t have the right people in office
It’s not because a certain bracket is taxed a lot less
It’s more because y’all fools don’t understand the process
This is all just a game bro
Y’all supported Bernie, that didn’t work to well, did it though?
Funneling millions to his campaign
Swore he wasn’t a crook until he endorsed the same thing
Then you support the lesser of the evil fakers
But it just repeats and we revisit this 4 years later
The State itself is based on theft and can’t be fixed
So realize you own yourself & no one else
Here we are again feeling stuck in this lie we’re living
Singing the same old song
Are we wrong to break free from the chains we’re in?
They have no desire to save you
Of course you see, I do speak cordially not metaphorically
I like to speak informally with honesty but horribly
Y’all often like to appeal to all of the authority
A step ahead of y’all that’s the reason I brought my boy with me
I know that promises of politicians are hollow so I know I’m better off ruling
over myself no lie though, I know
Will never rest until we all are free at last and every person will see that
every person is free
There is no half stepping.
With peace, you need non-aggression
Slavery’s not the best and self ownership is what we’re lacking
Freedom will be the course no matter if you’re reach or poor
Self-defense is the only way that you should be using force
And let me give a shout out to the people who only oppose government when it’s
convenient to
You’re like an edgy teenager who hates authority
You’ll stay in shackles so as long as you get a longer leash
Liberty is not trendy
It’s an everyday thing to see that you’re not a slave
Let the people go and be free
Here we are again feeling stuck in this lie we’re living
Singing the same old song
Are we wrong to break free from the chains we’re in?
They have no desire to save you
Start making sense when you realize the lies
I hate to say it, but your protesting is ill-advised
You put your life into the hands of a bunch of silly guys
It’s a contradiction if freedom has to be legalized
For example, when a cop’s shooting a black man you focus on the racism,
ignoring all the statism
Holding signs, rioting is not about to save him
Cause you must’ve forgot that that’s the power that you gave them
Criminal justice reform is a euphemism
For a bunch of dumb, foolish slaves with Stockholm Syndrome
Thinking they’ll be held to the same standard, don’t do it
What so they can investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing?
Bro, sit and think about this foolishness
You hit the ballot box supporting fools that don’t know you exist
Warfare, healthcare, and your minimum wage
Call it progressive man, but you’re an obedient slave
Dang
Here we are again feeling stuck in this lie we’re living
Singing the same old song
Are we wrong to break free from the chains we’re in?
They have no desire to save you
