ASK (Always Seeking Knowledge) - Silent Screams lyrics

Let me present this story from the streets of life Torment & glory, souls searching for peace from strife Wonder what's worse than brothers turning the knife You'll be judged by the way you treat your mother & wife Character above colors, yet some worship the green dollars And then greed follows, what we need is warriors & scholars We need mothers before models & fathers before ballers Fear the fire & be righteouss- and that goes for all of us Teach tactic and reason- practice what you're preachin' But it's treason, when you eventually give in to the demon A freeman dreamin' to achieve the illusion of freedom Made an agreement, but they still watchin' with an evil Eye- I don't lie, when I claim lies have been eaten Look how we've been treatin'- these people for centuries Call them citizens & smile, yet look at them as enemies & wild- no innocence- so placed in profit prisons & penitentiaries Shamelessly making money out of other people's miseries Show sympathy, cuz they know not it's a Pyrrhic victory Life's like a play, but there is no time to rehearse What's worse- than finding yourself caught in a curse Too late to reverse, so I put their stories in my verse Please, don't judge the hand reaching for your purse Cut off the hand that tries to take patent on the Universe Respect all, but it doesn't mean I'm willing to converse Because it hurts to hear absurd words, so sit back stirred With a vision that's blurred, you get dirty if you play in dirt Dark dreams, streets flooded with homeless fiends Sometimes the struggle is embedded in your genes Deaf & dumb, because you don't hear the silent screams Of the lost times, the lost generation of soulless teens But don't doubt son, just go for your goals by all means All out- we don't bow down for no kings or queens Remember, we are all just human, not machines -ASK
