It's possible to believe in something that's not true
It's possible I believe in something that's not you
It possible that my beliefs could steer me wrong
It's possible that my beliefs could 360 within this song
So why would I believe you?
Why would I believe you?
Why would I go through the trouble reconciling with you?
Quite honestly I'd rather sit with you in silence of rooms
Painted with stylings of the clever minds who lie to both the two of us
And maybe then the quiet gets the most of me
And I start looking for some answers from the first person I see
I say, "excuse me sir, can I have your time for free?
You probably heard it once or twice, so allow me to make it three
Are you afraid to die?
Is that a fate you mind?
Are you okay to meet your maker once your veins are dry?
Do angels fly? Or would you walk with Orpheus?"
And maybe he went off at this and told me
"F*ck you, dog
You clearly haven't even thought of this
You asking bout a Christian fate
Remember what a Chris would take?
All the credit, all the land, then give it an official name
Your first mistake was buying into everything that Chris would say
So f*ck you saying, homie? You really thought we was saved?
You remember when he took that Mayflower across the way?
Followed by the slaves, chained, and brought directly to Virginia?
What you think they would've said?
You think they would've spoke the scriptures of the European man?
Surely you can understand

It's possible to believe in something that's not true
It's possible I believe in something that's not you
It possible that my beliefs could steer me wrong
It's possible that my beliefs could 360 within this song
So why would you believe me?
Why would you believe me?
If I was blind why would you even try to reason with me?
It ain't no reasoning with somebody refusing to see the cries and the pleas Obviously he just ignores it with ease
So what you supposed to do?
It's the question of the centuries
It's been this way for so long you would start to think it's meant to be
Maybe then you walk with me in silence of dreams
Painted with stylings of the clever minds who lied to all three of us
Maybe then the silence gets the most of me
And I start looking for some answers from the first person I see
I say, "excuse me miss, can I have your time for free?
You probably heard it once or twice so allow me to make it three
What are you angry for?
What do you hate me for?
You don't even know me so what do you take me for?
I never raped before
What are your statements for?"
And maybe once I'm on her nerves she tells me
"F*ck you dog, you make me hate you even more
You so oblivious
Privilege written on your face, it's hideous
The way you talk to me is like I'm worth less than a penny is
So next time you decide to talk to me, just walk away
Cause imma tell you this one time and ain't got nothing more to say
Consider this
Why the f*ck you so damn sensitive?
Why you gotta come up with defences every time there was an incident?
Why you think just cause that boy your homie he was innocent?
You say it happens both ways, I don't understand that sentiment
Your sisters crying out for help and you just tryna flip the script
You never said that shit before I know it isn't genuine, it isn't even true
It's never happened to you
Have you ever gone about your day and felt objectified and sexualised with every single Thing you do?
Been afraid to walk outside alone at night in case a woman thinks she has the right to You?
Never crossed your mind, and I'm not surprised either
Cause you so dense that you can't see realities you don't perceive are very real
So I don't give a f*ck of how you feel
It's f*ck all men till I'm exhausted or I'm killed
But I just have a single question for you
What makes you think you so special that everything you think is also everything that's True?
Can you understand?"
