Supastition, Tenille - Nobody's Fool lyrics

I speak soft but I carry a big stick
For me to be soft ain't a characteristic
You adamant with thinking it
Then that'll get dismissed
Cause then it's evident to me
You haven't been listening
Like Nixon in tele biz, nowadays sell in fear
You afraid of me cause I tell
It like the hell it is
The way they sell them here
I don't wanna sell to live
I got relatives doing Mandela years
So all that back and forth bickering I ignore
I've never seen a record deal
That's worth dying for
Proud to get you trapped like
Deer under a lion's paw
They say "Homie right there
He ain't lying boy" this is like Job Corps
Training you with skills
If I can pay my bills
Fuck I wanna be a star for man?
Before I used to be a sneaker head hardcore
Till I seen children barely
Eating out in Darfur
Now that's far more important
Than the latest trends
I feel like rap music as a whole
Has depreciated like a
Nineteen-eighty Mercedes Benz
They'd rather see you wasting
Lives than saving 'em
Disenfranchize and disable 'em
Label 'em a conspiracy theorist
And a crazy one
I'm way beyond, thinking sheep-like
Strategize more like a chess
Master to street fight i see the light
I am nobody's fool wasn't born yesterday
I'm searching for the truth
Until I pass away i am nobody's fool
Wasn't born yesterday
You do what works for you
I'll live my life my way

Yo, I don't ride to celebrity
Gossip or the media hoopla
Is Paris Hilton possibly the
Key to my future?
The news hardly speak on brothers
Until we do wrong
Then they got it covered like the
Leader of the Ku Klux
I can't bring myself to watch
The six o'clock news they barely air it when
A minority drop jewels but damn right
They gon' air the same nappy
Headed nigga missing teeth
Standing on the block without shoes
Ironic ain't it, damn near demonic isn't it
The way they make us out to
Be porch monkeys and prisoners
Arabs and asians and latinos too
Take these words home and think it through
Here's what they think of you
All lying magazines and newspaper articles
I read between the lines cause
I ain't nobody's fool
I tell my own fam you've gotta be involved
That's if you want justice
And equality for all
I saw the world stand up
And protest for Jena Six
But sit around like neighborhood
Deaths are meaningless
Many deaths happening but some of
Us were never shown
Cause we didn't Jesse Jackson
With a megaphone or a sweaty Al Sharpton
With his hair straight
Don't become a modern day
Slave to the airwaves
Think outside of the box
Don't become a marionette
Cause that's what compose a real threat
And it's real like that

Stay awake to the ways of the world
Stay awake to the ways of the world
Open up your eyes
Stay awake to the ways of the world
Stay awake to the ways of the world
Watch for the lies
