Crown
heavy is the head that wears the crown
those who look up don't know the weight of a role
your example sets their pace
you pray to be succeeded
a regent sitting back as an alumni with respect
for now, you're the best
when they want to know what's possible
you're the answer
make it happen
get up and live life hard
achieve those feats daily
they'll ask how
but they'll all find their way
they all follow your role
because it's what they know
you're the key to success
you hope they'll be more
carve your own path
i can show you the way
but the day will come
where there's answers i wont have for you
Bigots
fear is found in the shadows
mongers of it are found in the light
you fear government and religion
looking to dogma to fix your problems
god can't help you
the president can't help you
but you can
you ask authority to hand you purpose
but you rebel against any idea that's not yours
you spread loving words of leaders you believe in
and hate anyone that doesn't agree
hell hath no fury
like a bigot scorned
by the simple existence of adversity
bigot
a word tossed around to justify hatred
it becomes a symbol used by hateful people
"an unexamined life isn't worth living"
unquestioned authority is how Hitler rose to power
what does it mean to question?
to know and understand all perspectives
instead of snickering at it
and calling it bigotry
let me be
let me consume and enjoy
does my existence vex you?
tough
I'm not changing who i am
you won't change who you are
if both you and i resolve
to be ourselves
who's wrong when you hate me
and i defend what i enjoy
you scream and say consumption is support
who are you? tmz?
i don't need your "facts" because i don't care
that musician is talented
that actor/ actress was part of a good movie
that was a good and enlightening book
