Lauryn Hill "Social Drugs" |
These social drugs x 4 Afraid to address The reality before me Too proud to confess That im addicted to a lie. So I seek temporary feeling To replace reality Though the truth is telling me Ive died, BUT IVE BEEN TAUGHT TO numb IT sedate it, don't confront it I hate when I find out That I can't get what I wanted This emotional tantrum Has become sort of an anthem playing everytime i need TO TAKE A LITTLE TRIP To hide this condemnation I'll find a combination Of a man made stimulation to deny my situation Now this beyond reality is distorting what I see Reporting back to me A sense of false security So in my imagination I must find a recreation DESPERATELY and SEARCHING WAYS To alter my sensations theres no equilibrium inebriated till im numb intoxicated till im dumb to avoid confrontation these social drugs messing with my mind these social drugs telling me im fine these social drugs messing with my head these social drugs telling me im dead now this chemical analogy is our emotional reality these political traditional and ethical stimulants when the SOCIAL etiquette wont let us be too upset with the way things really are your taught to camoflage regret and our religious structures tell us GOD want us to suffer to support a situation we all know is obligation and if you shun a complication they'll just gun your repuation like mob intimidation to enforce participation see they need to keep us fiends to their lies and broken schemes and if you find another means your told your being to extreme and if you wanted to get clean theres this pool of social strings holding up their social nose defying noble things now were all stuck in tradition unable to state opposition to afraid to contradict the expectations of the system oh and the harsh reality is they've made Grace for you and me instead of saving you and me theyre just enslaving you and me!!! these social drugs x 4 know what i mean? x 2 these social drugs x until fade out...
