Wow. Out of the box and artistic. Such a creation. Keep up!!!

not the very usual thing we hear.. provoking thoughts with rhythm. like this!!!!

They only hear you when you speaking lewd
They only hear you when you show them nudes
They never wanna hear you when it’s about the people
Never wanna hear you when it’s about the country 
Never wanna hear you
Never wanna hear you
(2x)

I swear I have no panties on! 
Standing on the podium preaching about unification 
Talking about how the masses have been destabilized 
and how we need to quarantine the brilliant to enforce a revolution 
And somehow, nobody hears a thing 
But let me say that I swear I have no panties on, 
And suddenly, I have your attention. 

I was born in a generation where many of us live in a nonchalant mode 
Living life in the go-slow speed section 
because we consider our personal freedom as untouchable entities 
The average boy is walking in his peers shadow 
waiting for an opportunity to say, “Man, that’s dope!” 
The average girl is wondering how cute she looks 
in her tall boyfriend’s white tees 
And the youth don’t care about mass unemployment 
or cares to know what GDP stands for 
Because he’s driving in a car mother got him 
and he’s mooching off father’s hard earned sweat 
And he says he likes his women intelligent, 
but befuddle his mind and he’ll tell you, 
“Mami, I just want to see some ass” – that’s what he’s here for 
And she wants a smart boy, 
but not for what she can learn from him, 
only for the wealth he can create – man’s favourite pet 

And you want to just crash their heads together 
and subject them to their inner feelings 
Cause them to feel inside the structure 
of their paralyzed thoughts 
To question the identification details of their minds; 
are they citizens of their own freaking minds? 
Not hanging by society’s puppet strings, 
being actively enslaved by a system under the guise of education? 
Not fueling a system that has no hope of reaping benefits? 
And living their life such that society has to live up to their standard? 
Silence 
Nobody hears a thing. 
Nobody speaks a word 
I said I had no panties on, 
and everybody found their voice 

They only hear you when you speaking lewd
They only hear you when you show them nudes
They never wanna hear you when it’s about the people
Never wanna hear you when it’s about the country 
Never wanna hear you
Never wanna hear you
(2x)
