kk watson – you ain’t paying attention lyrics

hook 1
you ain’t angry you ain’t paying attention
if you ain’t outraged
you ain’t paying attention
you ain’t paying attention

verse 1

you ain’t angry you ain’t paying attention
so much hate in your own backyard all you think bout is  you
where you gonna spend pension
where you gonna get the instagram like
whose gonna be the next one to give you twitter shout out mention
while the people in the streets they be shouting out the true message
they be shouting ’bout the new fences
new prisons for the black brown skin and the news pressing
blue collar hate crimes all they get is fed time
it’s amazing how the white collared goons they be strolling up to prison always hanging out the limousine roof
while we people of the color we be handcuffed through
every court proceeding
every court that needs me time comes quick for my vote from the booth that supposedly feeds me
when was last time the people had a meal of freedom
i’m fasting on the lies that america feeds em
while we the people
we the ones that bleed em
i start my diet today
abstinent from faith in the people who provide me no more words to say about the strength of the hate
born and bred by the
parents of america never taught their children how to see passed the color of a face
and experience grace
through the power of the purity of one handshake
two hearts shaped
generation raised elevated up past and beyond the idea of race

hook 2
you ain’t angry you ain’t paying attention
if you ain’t outraged
you ain’t paying attention
you ain’t paying attention

verse 2

you ain’t angry you ain’t paying attention
if your shamefree
maybe you should be sentenced
if you’re pain free
maybe dead on ya feet
maybe so far gone you don’t notice your own streets
the pain in the eyes of the kids you treat with
indifferent education bout the issues we sleep with
zombie land open up your eyes
take a look around
so much more to be found
probably gonna hurt
but it’s guaranteed worth
the freedom you’ve been living with
taken for granted
shopping cart full
four kids in school
while the mom across the street on the side of the road has a choice to make
which child to feed
the line of separation in this country no more thicker than the moment that it takes to breathe
take a moment right now
take a moment to breathe
cross the boundary
cross the line
breathe together
leave the hate behind
leave the hate behind
be kind

hook 3
you ain’t angry you ain’t paying attention
if you ain’t outraged
you ain’t paying attention
you ain’t paying attention

verse 3

you ain’t angry you ain’t paying attention
how you gonna tell me what the trump message be?
he be hugging on the bigotry
hugging on the hate crimers
hugging on the ones try to keep alive the spade times
hugging on the chain gang wave riders
he be hugging on the joe arpaio slave drivers
he be hugging on the russian oil pipeline bank bribes
now you tell me the why?
take your time
go ahead and tell me lies
my days are numbered
when my plays reach alt+right
alternative to righteousness
fact of the matter is
wrong is alive while we all stand by
we watch the news instead of block the booths
we talk the truth instead of walk the truth
we pray for peace instead of say our piece
gotta bridge the gap between the white tall tower and the dark grassroots
before we all stop speaking and we all start shooting
for the right to the peace
we all wanna sleep with
it’s a universal truth we all wanna sleep with
