The Appendix - Not for Me Lyrics



The Appendix - Not for Me Lyrics




To some of y'all, this not your speed
It got you like "this not for me"
I don't know what people want
I doubt i got what people need
A lot of music that be popping now
I feel it's "not for me"
What you think is hot
I might not
And it's cool to not agree

Despite what's popular to sheep
I don't floc' to what you tweet
I don't care about trending topics
Or gossip in the street
If I hop on beat, I'm probably
Talking progress for my peeps
And that means people
Fighting for their equality

Protect the DACA Dreamers
And our girls from older creepers
If Starbux can close stores
We need that with our police force
Teach em not to reach
Out of fear of melinated features
Cuz we got bodies up in morgues
From people who've never seen war

I know you're probably thinking
''Look this is 'not for me'
It's completely unacceptable"
And I'll be the first one to agree
You can stand and fight for change
Or you can choose to take a knee
Like Kaepernic did
For the injustices
In our communities

It shouldn't be that hard
To treat people like people
See each other as equals
Free our selves from our egos
As far as humanity goes
Some just may not agree
Speak on fair treatment or equity
They'll be like "that's not for me tho"

I'm not here to talk about
What's moral or legal
But if we ever speak of reform
We need to reconsider "the norm"
Face the ugly truths
And fix things that have been deformed
Remove all corruption
So democracy can be reBORN

Knowledge is power
Young people, we need to read more
We pieced together pieces
From school texts and museum tours
It would've been erased
If Lincoln didn't free us
Today massuh'd get a million views
If he lynched us from his treetop

We wouldn't have had no Instagram
Or freedom of speech
Freedom to think and voice
Our opinions with critiques
Producers give us beats
So we can speak and lift our people up
They feeling, how I'm feeling
Pretty soon, they gonna be speaking up

I don't like what's going on
That's just "not for me"
I don't agree with your opinion
Your views are "not for me"
You like the system that exists
Which holds us back
It's "not for me"
You accept those conditions
But those terms are "not for me"

Not for me, not for me
Never that, not for me
Not for me, not for me
Uh uh- uh uh, not for me
Not for me, not for me
That's cool for you, but not for me
Not for me, not for me
Uh uh- uh uh, not for me

I don't like what's going on,
That's just "not for me"
I don't agree with your opinion
Your views are "not for me"
You like the system that exists
Which holds us back
It's "not for me"
You accept those conditions
But those terms are "not for me"

Not for me, not for me
Never that, not for me
Not for me, not for me
Uh uh- uh uh, not for me
Not for me, not for me
That's cool for you, but not for me
Not for me, not for me
Uh uh- uh uh, not for me
