Lyrics
THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD
[chorus]
They say the pen is mightier than the sword, I fill this paper with anger in the form of written words. I'll expose you to the troth about the world, it's filled with fakes and superficial snakes you haven't heard? They say the pen is mightier than the sword, so I scream into this microphone and all you hear are noises. I'll expose you to the truth about the world, what kind of world is this when they take away your choices?
[verse one]
Welcome to my world, see the pen and the notepad, the damage take advantage of the face that I'm so trashed. Say anything, my opinions change on the world I see. Open up your eyes and memorize your vision of me. Freedom of speech, you can listen to me, scared when you're at home, where is our security? Try to take away my rights to protect what's mine, this generation ain't taking up shit this time. So rally up the troops, no excuse for injustice. Mother-fuck the government if they don't trust us. Thinking you're above us, causing mass confusion,buildings burn, now you're concerned with the revolution.
[chorus]
[verse 2]
N.W.A. said it best, fuck the police, harassment these bastards thinking that they know me. Cuffing every person who fights for their rights to live the way they wanna live, so maybe we should unite. No one man should have that power, hiding behind a plastic badge you fucking cowards. All men sin, capable of being dirty. How do you have the right to protect and serve me? What makes you worthy? You never been to the pen ? So what. Maybe you just never been caught for the shit you did. You fucking pig, need someone to hate ? Follow me. I don't believe in you, I believe in me.
[chorus]
[verse 3]
I bust my fucking ass for every cent that I make, even the 20percent that the government takes. All in my face telling me exactly what I owe. So Now I get paid under the table , they'll never know. So fuck the IRS, fuck the fees, fuck the nerdy auditor why you bothering me? Even if I win the lottery I gotta pay you, id never give you shit
If I wasn't made to. The only things certain in life is debt and taxes. Well I cheated both this year, I'm climbing up the ladder. It's bad enough I'm mad bc I'm still the truth, so if you think I'm sharing my wealth then fuck you.
[chorus]
