autism - t. karras lyrics

[intro]
you probably heard about autism
you probably read about it or seen it on a tv show
but you don’t know autism, until you heard it from an autistic person
like me

[verse 1]
hey everyone, zip your mouths and listen
i have to tell you about my mental condition
just so y’all can understand where i’m coming from
they saying us people are r-t-rded and dumb
you see me rapping? of course i got a brain
and when you get to know us, we’re all the same
of course we’re awkward; we can’t help that
that makes us who we are man, you can’t change facts
the normal people are always trying to put us down
saying we don’t have the sk!lls to even get around
created “autism speaks” to k!ll off our kind
because they’re afraid of what lies in our mind
don’t get me started on how we’re portrayed
we’re either savant g*niuses or stupid slaves
it affects everybody, you can’t deny us simple rights
perhaps it’s time for us to stand up and fight

[interlude 1]
everyday, there’s an autistic child born
and there’s a 1 in a 100 chance, that your child might be autistic
so don’t underestimate your autistic child
cause the potential can be crazy wild

[verse 2]
us autistic people existed since the ancient times
we’re not an anomaly; we are divine
that’s why the mental health system keeps us trapped
so we can’t do anything, we don’t have jack
they portray us as craziest people around
they make us take pills to dull us down
and they always chipping away at our benefits
but you know us people, we’ll always persist
if only we had that therapy
but the harsh reality is that it’s not free
they make you pay top dollar just to get the best
and they don’t even help you, they just speak in jest
so i’m doomed to be on that monthly check
they won’t give me a job, that’s total disrespect
we can do anything if we put our minds to it
there’s a solid brick wall, we just gotta go through it

[interlude 2]
to have autism is a gift
but it also comes with a horrendous curse
and things can get very bad out there
so be alert and be aware

[verse 3]
it’s a never ending struggle just trying to fit in
their society is complex, where do i begin?
all the social situations can leave you messed up
you say one bad thing and you’re out on your luck
and you don’t even know the context and all that
it’s like you’re in a movie and you don’t know how to act
you look stiff, you speak robotic, you do weird things
that’s why they hate us as living human beings
we think different like steve jobs, we don’t conform
we’ve had this ever since the day we were born
we live our entire lives with this detriment
it’s not our fault that we’re not perfect
you’re trying too hard to understand us
just refocus your efforts on gaining our trust
maybe then will the future become better with time
if only they could look inside of our minds
