Hypocrisy

[Chorus]
When the words don’t match the actions
When the hatred is masked with laughing
Every move that you make they watching it
Saying one thing but doing the opposite

When the words don’t match the actions
When the hatred is masked with laughing
Every move that you make they watching it
Saying one thing but doing the opposite

[Verse 1]
I’m pissed off and my patience is short
All the heartless people circulating ‘round me, things just ain’t what I thought
This book is played, time to start a new page, caught in a maze
Never seen so many hateful ways in all of my days
Easy to read, I see this everyday
If it’s so wrong and you complain about a person’s actions, why do you stay?
You walk around at holding a cross, low and distraught
How can you hope that I find you if I don’t know that you’re lost?
Tired of only being linked to the conniving and phony
People hanging with ya all your life, disguised as your homies
They mind is sick, like a person ‘bout to die from pneumonia
Ran together, turning corners, now they riding up on ya
Plotted on by the ones you known since you was born
Best man at your wedding, now he wishing you harm
Loyalty nowhere in the mind, you don’t notice it though
They act one way when they around ya, when they leave ya, they show
They hypocrisy

[Chorus]
When the words don’t match the actions
When the hatred is masked with laughing
Every move that you make they watching it
Saying one thing but doing the opposite

When the words don’t match the actions
When the hatred is masked with laughing
Every move that you make they watching it
Saying one thing but doing the opposite

[Verse 2]
Partners be telling lies, acting like they known to support
When it get real, they be on side him like a phone up in court
I’m tryna grow to where my dreams are too strong to abort
In the hood, blasting out somebody’s dome is a sport
Facing the everyday pressure of life’s stressful demands
But the stronger the mind is, the more successful your plans
Even to run a special blessings is a test for a man
Your money count is only based on where the decimal lands
Society’s double standards, I ain’t fit in ‘em
I get locked up for whoopin’ my own child but police get away with killin’ ‘em
Our history’s been ravaged and crushed
You want sympathy for your past but telling me forget what happened to us
I guess you thought we was gon’ let you walk around
Stalking us all over town
Now the whole city’s scared ‘cause you the target now
They shoot us down and never say freeze
For killing nine blacks, Dillon got a Whopper with cheese, please
That’s hypocrisy

[Chorus]
When the words don’t match the actions
When the hatred is masked with laughing
Every move that you make they watching it
Saying one thing but doing the opposite

When the words don’t match the actions
When the hatred is masked with laughing
Every move that you make they watching it
Saying one thing but doing the opposite

[Verse 3]
You want inclusion in a system built for keeping you out
That’s like begging a murderer to let you sleep in his house
Messages programmed in your head, deeply embedded
So now he follow everything you said just ‘cause you said it
Believe in fairytales for years is what prevented our rise
We sent our babies to the public school to memorize lies
You wanna be up in our mix, but you don’t like us in yours
They won’t hire you on a job but you can fight in they wars
Shoutout to Harriet, they tryin’ to diminish her purpose
They wanna put her face on money that’s about to be worthless
You celebrating like them doing that is making them realer
Betraying truth for the smiles and handshakes of a killer
Hoping to win, envisioning how that mighta been
The last trick of a enemy is to act like a friend
We do what they do, it’s a different kind of name for us
So now you seein’ that the rules ain’t the same for us
And that’s hypocrisy
