It Wasn’t For This

Lyrics

[Tag] Ground up! [Hook] It wasn't for this, it wasn't for that Oh, best believe a better world It wasn't for this, it wasn't for that Oh, best believe a better world [Verse 1: PEZ] It's always been this way, since the first beginnin' of time 'Cause we're all livin' to the rhythm of the tickets supplied So inside, from age ten, I was scared by the threat of endin' Just another nothing so instead of spendin' All day in my mind, tryna fly away I became more inclined to fight and trying to find a way To change it, still I wonder if I'll ever listen When television is tellin' women irrelevant things All just to make a buck, like you can make yourself Happy if you just pay enough, so they keep makin' up All this new shit you need to buy It's the same old shit with just a different reason why Why do we always let 'em push us till we back down? That's how we ended up stuck here in the background In the first place, let my verse play, take a closer look At what the words say and write back, it's like that [Hook] It wasn't for this, it wasn't for that Oh, best believe a better world It wasn't for this, it wasn't for that Oh, best believe a better world [Verse 2: 360] Yo, has it always been this way? Man, the problem is this Believin' people who don't know what honesty is We're full of fear, always watchin' a risk And if it does, then I'm hopin' that it wasn't for this And I don't believe the stories that they sell on the news These days, you're never knowin' who is telling the truth A bunch of liars in irrelevant suits They get paid to tell the story and they sell it to you It's a needle, injected in the minds of the people They have the rights to decide who is equal It's evil, living fools in a dumb world Just look at what's considered cool to these young girls How many people will accept being undermined? How many people really say that they love their life? How many people will fight for a fuckin' right? Most of all you shrug it off saying, "such is life" Now take a stand Take a stand [Hook] It wasn't for this, it wasn't for that Oh, best believe a better world It wasn't for this, it wasn't for that Oh, best believe a better world It wasn't for this, it wasn't for that Oh, best believe a better world
