Jon Foli - Bias Of Age lyrics
[Jon Foli - Bias Of Age lyrics]
Time I address my bias
Not old but old enough to know I
Have trait's not to be desired
Slowly turning into the old
Heads that oppress me
Oppressed become oppressor
I don't treat the next man fairly
My mama beat me so I beat my kids
My older sister said to shut
Up when she speaking
So I speak the same when baby sister speaking
I fear for my next of kin if I don't change
Damn, that's the bias of age
Stuck in my prejudice ways
People tell me youngin I was just
Like you back in the day
Fighting for change but it never happened
I couldn't go on with
Life dealing with struggle everyday hustle
That was not for me
It was either lose myself and live
Or die and be free
I chose with ease but my faith wavered not
Knowing you would better act
With grace and not
Fall prey to the bias of age
As I dey hustle where you dey
You want am easy my guy you dey craze
That be bias of age
Abeg no stress me I no grow
What you want make I do saf you no know
See the bias of age
You say wisdom is only in the old
When is time to act on word you be no show
That be bias of age
I pray I do better in my latter days
But, I see myself gravitate
To your sinful ways
Where I'm from where you from
Once you're young you're wrong
Apologize little nigga
So that be bias of age
Kids are raised in fear and not respect
You learn that on your own
Speak with you chest
So what that bias of age
You tripping to think the old
Ones played no role lessons passed on
It's difficult to pass the baton
I understand we got next you gotta trust us
We could go farther if we leave
Behind the bias of age
I swear we mentally caged
Scared to flip the page
Part 2 says the people take control
The land is free and filled with gold
Milk and honey our days our sunny bright
But, it's up to us
These politicians don't care
Put gross add ons on fares
60+ should not be government seat officials
It's a fucking ritual
Damn I hate the bias of age
As I dey hustle where you dey
You want am easy my guy you dey craze
That be bias of age
Abeg no stress me I no grow
What you want make I do saf you no know
See the bias of age
You say wisdom is only in the old
When is time to act on word you be no show
That be bias of age
I pray I do better in my latter days
But, I see myself gravitate
To your sinful ways
As I dey hustle where you dey
You want am easy my guy you dey craze
That be bias of age
Abeg no stress me I no grow
What you want make I do saf you no know
See the bias of age
You say wisdom is only in the old
When is time to act on word you be no show
That be bias of age
I pray I do better in my latter days
But, I see myself gravitate
To your sinful ways
Not old but old enough to know I
