omar offendum - faces lyrics

[verse 1]
i know i’m corny to some
i know i’m threatening to others
i might be boring to sons
but i’m important to mothers
look i ain’t trippin in any case
i’m more into hovering
still i’m deeper than shoveling
better yet, people in submarines
can i get a piece of my motherland?
or just peace in my motherland?
mr kiefer of sutherland
why my features are troubling?
why i keep on discovering
all the evils of government
why y’all feathers gets ruffled
when you be seeing a brother that’s this fly?

[chorus]
i wanna know x 5
how you can propagatе them lies
but can’t evеn look me in my eyes
i wanna know x 5
what it would take to make you see
that all that hate won’t set you free
[verse 2]
afraid of us because we teach our children
not to be afraid of them
the truth offends
i guess they’d rather play pretend
then make amends & dead that hatred slowly eating them within
a foolish trend unfortunately oft a symptom of decision+making men
powerful simpletons
blinded by ignorance they claim to end
getting high off an inflated sense of exceptionalism & revisionist histories
privileged parents been giving them
unconventional wisdoms
fake news forgives them
as they blame the victims

[chorus]
i wanna know x 5
how you can propagate them lies
but can’t even look me in my eyes
i wanna know x 5
what it would take to make you see
that all that hate won’t set you free

[verse 3]
(“faces” by kahlil gibran)
“i have seen a face with a thousand countenances, and a face that was but a single countenance as if held in a mould

i have seen a face whose sheen i could look through to the ugliness beneath, and a face whose sheen i had to lift to see how beautiful it was

i have seen an old face much lined with nothing, and a smooth face in which all things were graven

i know faces, because i look through the fabric my own eye weaves, and behold the reality beneath.”
