Tom MacDonald - Fake Woke lyrics

I think it's crazy I'm the one
Who they labeled as controversial
When Cardi B is the role
Model for 12-year-old girls
There's rappers pushin' Xanax at the
Top of the Billboard
But if I mention race in a song
I'm scared I'll get killed for it
It's backwards
It's gettin' exponentially dumb
It's more difficult to get a
Job than purchase a gun
Eminem used to gay bash and murder his mum
And now he doesn't want fans
If they voted for Trump
We're ashamed to be American
You should probably love it
'Cause you have thе right to say it
And not get strung up in public as children
We wеre taught how to walk and talk
But the system wants adults to
Sit down and shut up
Cancel culture runs the world now
The planet went crazy
Label everything we say as
Homophobic or racist
If you're white, then you're privileged
Guilty by association
All our childhood heroes got Me
Too'd or they're rapists
They never freed the slaves
They realized that they don't need the chains
They gave us tiny screens
We think we free 'cause we can't see the cage
They knew that race war would be
The game they'd need to play
For people to pick teams
They use the media to feed the flame

They so fake woke
Facts don't care 'bout feelin's
They know they won't tell me
What to believe in
They so fake woke, same old safe zones
They so fake woke
Facts don't care 'bout your feelin's

I think it's crazy all
These people screamin' facts
But they fake woke
Hate their neighbor 'cause he wears a
Mask or he stays home has a daughter
But his favorite artist said he slays hoes
Picks her up from school
Music slaps on the way home
Censorship's an issue 'cause they
Choose what they erase
There's a difference between hate speech
And speech that you hate
I think Black Lives Matter
Was the stupidest name
When the system's screwin' everyone
Exactly the same
I just wanna spend Thanksgivin' Day
With food and my family
Without bein' accused of
Celebrating native casualties
We got so divided
It's black and white and political
Republicans are bigots
Libtards if you're liberal
There's riots in our streets
And it's just gettin' worse
Y'all screamin', "Defund the police"
Y'all are genius for sure
They're underfunded already
They're way too busy to work
Order food and call the cops
See what reaches you first
Segregation ended, that's a lie in it'self
That was a strategy to make us
Think they were tryin' to help
They knew that racism was hot
If they designed it to sell
We'd buy up every single box
And divide us ourselves

They so fake woke
Facts don't care 'bout feelin's
They know they won't tell me
What to believe in
They so fake woke, same old safe zones
They so fake woke
Facts don't care 'bout your feelin's

We use violence to get peace and
Wonder why it isn't workin'
That's like sleepin' with a football team
To try and be a virgin
Politicians are for sale and someone
Always makes the purchase
But you and I cannot afford it
Our democracy is worthless
If a man has mental illness, call him crazy
Say it silently when country's goin' crazy
We accept it as society
Get sick and take a pill
When the side effects get you high
You get addicted like these rappers
Dying fighting with sobriety
Censoring the facts turns our
Children into idiots
They claim it's for our safety
I'll tell you what it really is
Removing information that empowers
All the citizens
The truth doesn't damage points of
View that are legitimate
They're tryna change amen to a-men-and-women
How'd we let them make
Praying a microaggression?
Instead of asking God for the
Strength to keep winnin'
We cheat to get ahead and then
We ask Him for forgiveness
Feminism used to be the
Most righteous of fights
But these days it feels like
They secretly hate guys
I don't trust anyone who bleeds for
A week and don't die i'm just kiddin'
But everything else that I said is right

They so fake woke
Facts don't care 'bout feelin's
They know they won't tell me
What to believe in
They so fake woke, same old safe zones
They so fake woke
Facts don't care 'bout your feelin's
