Lyrics

Stop saying everything's woke
you don't even know what that word is
nor you know the meaning

no, seriously
do you know what the meaning even is?

Libs of tik tok sure did not knew when they got pressed
good thing the lapdog was there to keep it being a mess
ya gotta manipulate the meaning to make it mean what you need
not even the arbiter who parrots the word knows what it means

i think is time to give you all a little history lesson...

"woke, as a term, can be either applied to a person or group aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice) or as a derrogatory term to refer to policies with liberal or progressive leanings (as in matters of racial and social justice) especially in a way that is considered unreasonable or extreme.

another use of the term incurs a suggestion that someone's expressed beliefs about such matters are not backed with genuine concern or action."

once again, a raucous case of appropiation
manipulate the meaning - distort the reason
people of color invented the meaning
yet you took it, and twisted, distorted
so much so, you don't know what it truly is

sure love to whine about cultural appropiation
yet when you take words and you want to twist 'em
you don't call it out - you don't do shit with 'em

also.

how appropiate is that last definition?
extreme cases of ideology usurpation
blatant cases of liberal word misappropiation

appropiating social justice
misappropiating such meaning
while making a mockery of the name
defending causes with no motives

complaints about gender switches on netflix shows?
your supposed cause is truly a joke
endless complaining made a auditory chore
endless whining in a life full of bore
fruitless brigading for all but your-self
To find out the outrage - just dig the well!

you got that skin in the game - in to deep to quit the game
you got some of those monetary gains - from the fools you lead astray

don't call yourself impartial when you make more money from the more clicks than you get
then again, who will blame you? you're only using the strategy as the mass media outlets
You eschew the mainstream for being against you, yet you use their tactics...

How ironical.

want to live life pretending to be a hero?
know that these actions will only lead you to zero

hypocrisy, blame games, obfuscate
lie, manipulate, you got bags to be made

Don't trumpet your own horn - that's a social media effect
All this search for adulation is nothing more than human defect

so you say you do this for a cause greater than yourself?
how can it be when you demean all other than yourself?

Funny thing about this song
I ain't even been political yet
And I am not gonna start bringing up politics yet
bringing up a definition is not political
if only, just quite pedantical

you know why I never did?
I don't care about the politics

fuck politics, i don't need to play all these politricks
You think this song was political, but that was not even the thing
Look deep beneath, you're only just playing one of those games
One day you'll think, "how stupid i was to have been tricked"

I don't care about your opinions, I could just not give a fuck
They're just like an asshole, we all got one, and they all suck
learn to get your own lines, one day you might be proud to stand tall
Grow the balls that you think you have and learn to not tow any lines

I don't care about your agendas, I only care about mine
It here says i need to sleep from five to nine
Playing the game, but not one told us the rulebook
Are we just fooled - or are we just truly cooked?

There's people that say we have to many isms
There's always going to be someone who is a icist

There's always gonna be the one who has a phobia
so afraid of life, complete opposite of euphoria

I don't care for either one of these
We're all humans at the end of the day

Keep your ideas open, but don't force them over
And speaking of what it means to be a human...

Is just as simple as not caring what you are
Nor what body you know that you're in
Nor what gender you feel that is right at the end

If you're being an overbearing asshole
You need to get the fuck off the way

Why do you not try to be a human
And just have some good fucking fun...

So then, again I ask you...

to stop being woke.

And to stop pretending to be against the woke.
