Lullaby

(album: Still Wednesday - 2021)

I been looking at a world that's been put to sleep
This shit animal farm and it's full of sheep
While the pigs run everything within reach
But I am the wolf with the truth to preach
I don't wanna be the one to have to wake you up
And deliver you the facts that'll shake you up
I might throw my own life on the line for this
But it's a risk that I feel I gotta take, so fucked
I gotta do what I do and speak to y'all best
As I can, as I watch 'em sleep and talk less
'Bout the things that are true while the news that they feed
To you's accurate as a PCR test, meaning
Not at all, they lie and deceive ya
No voices to follow, they silence the leaders
The only ones left got a mild demeanor
That stick to their orders and follow procedure
But I'm my own boss, I don't lie to myself
I speak what I want and take pride in myself
Canceling me would require some help
Fuck I'ma do? Fire myself?

Hell, guess it is what it is
When it gets too real, get back in your crib
And let the lullaby that they sing to you
Ease you off to sleep and it goes like this

Hush little baby, don't you cry
Keep it all inside
And if they try to wake you up
Cover up your eyes
Just take this pill and don't ask why
You won't feel a thing
So hush my baby, don't you try
To fight it, for life is but a dream

The weight has been hard to carry
And the truth has been hard to find
They dumb it down 'cause being smart is scary
And give you the pills that'll calm your mind
I've been for years that the government's evil
Corrupted and nothing but puppets to those
That are running the planet, so in a pandemic
You honestly think I'll be trusting these people?
I get it, y'all think I'm conspiracy crazy
From all of the shit that you hear from me lately
God forbid I ask questions, right?
It's too much for you? Then just hush, little baby
Go back to sleep like they want you to
Believe all the things that are on the news
Believe all the lies and cover your eyes
To any way of thinking that is not your view
It's easier that way, right? So don't fight
Just don't make a peep, go and live your life
Be a sheep like the ones that you count at night
And stay asleep, everything'll be alright, right?

But it is what it is
When it gets too real, get back in your crib
And let the lullaby that they sing to you
Ease you off to sleep and it goes like this

Hush little baby, don't you cry
Keep it all inside
And if they try to wake you up
Cover up your eyes
Just take this pill and don't ask why
You won't feel a thing
So hush my baby, don't you try
To fight it, for life is but a dream
