Songtexte So What? - ThaMonster

One, two, three, oh, yeah
Pardon me and my fears
Take a walk with me if I'm clear
I choose violence to battle my peers
And I might like it if they weren't here
The difference? I ain't make it
So what's the matter with pleasing the Education?
So what's the problem with looking inside ourselves to see
Life is more than it's shaped to be?

When my father was a young man, a young boy with soft hands
He seen a man die, he seen a dry land
He seen his mom cry, he seen his family
Get divided by politics of a white man
Born in poverty, but it made him accomplish
Everything Momma said he wouldn't, now he got this
Son that's bound to be great, I cannot stop now
I gotta paint me a better picture for my child
When Mom was young, she had dreams
That faded away when the police came
Imagination couldn't be tamed
But her family could, and they had good aim
Now she got daughters to be proud of
And a son that she can prolly count on
Really, the craziest thing
How far can I go to show them I'm—, yeah

Pardon me and my fears, huh
Take a walk with me if I'm clear
I choose violence to better my appearance
And I might like it if they weren't here
The difference? I make it
So what's the matter with pleasing the—?
So what's the problem with looking inside ourselves to see life is way more?

Felt like a burden was heavy on my shoulders
Off balance, all of my goals were off focus
Knee deep in the politics, no suits
Kept getting cheesed, no pun, no food
Family don't know where the smile went
Worst thing I did was stay silent
I turned to my sister for guidance
"Listen to me and close your eyelids
You the son of Mary, not the savior
Stop letting them gossip in every conversation
Start spending time with you and yourself
It's good for your head, good for your health
Learn to be you, what you believe in
That internet shit fake, you go off the deep end"
She saw I needed help without seeing what I've been through
Or what I done, so I hugged her and I said "cool"

"Forgive yourself, give it the space
And save the grace cause you won't save the day
You can help your friends with your own tricks
But you can't save the world with your bullshit
Too much to say, but to condense
Learn to live and you'll find the exit"

Now listen, pardon me
Take a walk with me if I'm clear
I choose violence to battle my peers
And I might like it if they weren't here
The difference, I make it
So what's the matter with pleasing the Education?
So what's the problem with looking inside ourselves to see life is way more than it—?

As I'm aging, a bunch of things
That are not changing where I'm from
They want more bread but we got crumbs, shit
They want less cages but we want none
Stability never existed
Thought it was something, I never missed it
How the buzz making you get a distance?
All the views don't mean that I got riches
Popularity mean nothing to me
I let UM take care my sons for me
I let Momma educate my loved ones
But I got a hold on what they all do for me
I mean you always gotta stay protected
But don't get caught using power for evil
If the police don't catch you, God does His work
I cannot speak for Him or what He do
Don't fix a leak if the dams collapsing
Fix your problems, don't tell the masses
Moving in silence is not a trend
It's consciousness, I'm moving just like my dad did
I got confidence in my blood
Pressure means not one thing that I don't love
I wanna connect, I wanna respect, I wanna retrieve
I wanna be heard and felt, look, I wanna be seen, I keep
I keep falling in trends
Focus on myself, l think what I jot
I wanna bring us together for a family picture
Before we all part ways and we all stop
