timid – who’s to blame? lyrics
[verse 1: q-unique]
is it the demons in your mind giving permission
is it your living conditions or is it a sinners decision
is it a street gang, is it a fool’s wisdom
is it facebook, is it the school system
is it a single parent in a hopeless zone
is it your lack of faith, is it a broken home
is it john gotti or tony montana
or is it the rush you get from holding a hammer
is it the lyrics in the music, were you’re parents abusive
or is it all just sorry excuses
is it the streets or professional athletes
or some out of touch college professor who can’t teach
is it religious beliefs, is it your pastor, your mullah
your rabbi setting you up for defeat
do you look towards the gates of heaven or maybe the pit of h-ll
as the justification to why you quit and fail
[chorus]
so go and point the finger and tell me who’s to blame
who’s the reason for the storm running through the rain
go and point the finger and tell me who’s to blame
who’s the reason for the storm running through the rain
[verse 2: timid]
maybe it’s the world we live in, or the course you’ve been given
or the divorce of support from the wardens of the system
maybe it’s the media, feeding ya, biased views
or manipulating truths, or stipulating what you choose
maybe it’s the 1 percent, controlling dollars and the cents
maybe it’s the government spending too much on defense
maybe it’s corporate greed, putting profits over people
having jobs shipped overseas to move stock ticks over easels
maybe it’s the politicians, the ones who never listen
to const-tuents wishing for consistence with our vision
maybe it’s the pharmaceuticals, or men painting cuticles
maybe times have changed and your thinking’s no longer suitable
maybe it’s that opportunity, is only held for the privileged few
whose skin is a certain hue, influencing all that we do
to the grave from the womb, maybe it’s everyone in the room
partially including the human staring back at you
[chorus]
so go and point the finger and tell me who’s to blame
who’s the reason for the storm running through the rain
go and point the finger and tell me who’s to blame
who’s the reason for the storm running through the rain
[verse 3: timid]
could be the hate you house and what comes outta your mouth
or how you communicate the views that you espouse
could be you’re in denial, or some of those things are vile
or you need to think awhile while walking that man’s mile
could be you’re set in your ways and afraid to engage
because it’s claimed it’s too late to be brave at your age
could be that you’re afraid or just fear overall
that makes you want to blockade yourself behind a wall
could be ignorance or just instigation
causing separation using misinformation
could be people are waiting to talk instead of listening
or that there’s too much yelling and not enough whispering
could be that you’d prefer to believe that lie
and not defer to facts that should change your mind
or maybe you truly think that you’re more deserving
and others less worthy, which is actually more disturbing
