truth is hard to swallow / the enlightened man - sifu freddie lee lyrics
[truth is hard to swallow]
there is no religion here in the west
that is one thing they clearly do not know what is best
people are too busy thinking about where they should invest
or hypnotized by the computer screen starring at br–sts
people don’t make time for inner growth, their too concerned about their scores on the test
america teaches you to be outwardly rich but inwardly poor
for financial gain they don’t mind going to war
ask too many questions and they’ll close the door
they train you to be hooked on always wanting more
this will keep the economy strong for sh-r-
every single night you gotta pay for that wh-r-
the ego gets intricately formulated before the age of four
the entire system is here to program your mind
stick out like a sore thumb if you lag behind
your mind is constantly chattering with no time to rest, happiness is hard to find
everyday you gotta go on the grind
like 2pac, until the end of time
like a diamond ring, you are nothing if you do not shine
the east teaches you to find that balance and control
it is the mysterious wisdom that you do not know
the key to peace and happiness that the society does not want you to know
some beauties in life you do not show
like a beautiful princess turned into a hoe
something goes wrong when you sell your soul for some dough
no longer innocent and pure
turned into a s-x object, she can’t even look in the mirror
her parents find out about her secret life now they go in terror
how could they raise their daughter to make money off of s-x
she gave up on love when her husband became her ex
now she decided to get into triple x
it’s just too easy not to profit from s-x
that’s what happens when you are born with a beautiful face
every man on the streets looks at you and they wanna get a taste
like prey in the wildlife that never goes to waste
this is not like the 80’s where it was a big deal to get to first base
men are so frustrated for more that you gotta spray them off with mace
the world is changing so fast it’s hard to keep pace
women are turned into hoes
quick to take off their clothes
there’s no need to buy the rose
men are trained to break your nose
you gotta stay on your toes
money hungry humans are turned into animals
technology is here but we have become robotic
the media feeds us messages that are hypnotic
all aimed towards maximizing profits
unlike the past there are no prophets
they have trained you not to follow any man
now you question the man that understands
people become afraid to follow
their heads have become too hollow
in such a corrupted world, the truth is very hard to swallow
[the enlightened man]
my teachings are dangerous
people might thing your delirious
it may not be the right time to learn just because you’re curious
the truth is only for those who are serious
imagine if there is no such thing as right or wrong
to discover the truth yourself you need to be strong
millions of books to read, it will take too long
the lawmakers cannot depend on you to know the way
so they decided to program you to listen to everything they say
the separation of the church and state
allows them to completely control your mental state
with racism, they program you to hate
with s-x, they program you to wait
marriage allows them to program who becomes your mate
if you know the truth, you become like will smith in enemy of the state
they will come in and take you out
they do not want you to put others in doubt
if you know something significant, sometimes it’s best not to shout
you wonder why modern sages and prophets are dying young
they warned socrates to watch his tongue
even jesus had to be hung
up on the cross
millenniums have past and we still mourn the loss
martyr’s stand up for truth no matter the cost
stand up for truth and they’ll thrown you into an asylum
his mind is moving too fast, you better tie ’em
you wonder why some of the greatest minds have gone crazy
so much to read, so much to learn, it will make you dazy
it’s just best to program the people to be mindless, fat and lazy
don’t ever question authority
follow the people in charge like a child even when your forty
accept the law like you accept god
it is in god we trust, following these laws is a must
even if some of these laws have turned into rust
like neo, maybe you are not yet ready
you may have to start off slow and steady
and build some confidence within
before you learn to liberate yourself from sin
this is a dangerous path to follow
you need to be yourself, you cannot become the role model
the truth is within you
this is something you cannot learn from school
those who are awakened follow different rules
the society will label them as fools
that is because they have failed to understand
the wisdom of an enlightened man
