Hypocrisy

Lyrics

[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 Believing 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 their 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
