For You Video (MV)

I see so much hatred and fights that are forced
If you are my parents well when's the divorce
You say you can teach me but what's there to learn
You live on the land but you still choose to burn
You're looking for attention I guess so am I
But I won't surround myself with the same type of lie
I was gonna milk it but took out my eye so now I'll MLK it guess I'll die
I had a dream but it's one you are constantly dragging me from
Pull me left pull me right have me skipping the middle but still feeling like I'm Malcolm
X marks the spot where you take pride in division but how come
Peace and love we're far from
So of good intentions what has become
Yo da violence is exciting but peace seems so humdrum
Search for disagreements in the places there are none
We want to be entertained so in comes the conundrum
It seems so enticing avoiding the boredom
With another accusation that your families are hoodlums
So bang the drums and take their freedom with your free run at their kingdom
And when you're done what's left of those you steal from
Nothing they're gone and now just ghosts in your eardrum

I don't want fame not for the same reasons
We're all in this war we commit the same treasons
What's pleasing to you causes me to unglue
And what's creasing my smile doesn't entertain you
Should I stay in denial or try something new
Because it might be my music but I make it for you
Should I stay in denial or try something new
Because it might be my music but I make it for you

So many hateful thoughts I won't put to paper
They'd make me greater at a cost to calculate later
Justified anger call it offended
But what if I snapped where I'd otherwise bended
Calling out names then I'd get rear-ended
Put on the pulpit and asked to defend it
They'll say I was fronting and racing for the cheese
I thought I was hunting well I'm just chasing the breeze
I'm sorry maybe I struck the wrong keys
From humble and loving to swinging at knees
I can't be two faced that's even I'm at odds
At a struggle with the battle between my fame and my God
Asking myself if I feel I've done wrong
While I stand by the lyrics of a meaningless song
Say I did it so I could have my true messages heard
Keep telling myself that while truth is deferred

I keep claiming there's a mission
I have a different path a different vision
So much to say I want the world to listen
But people only see the things that glisten
So look at my position
Play the clown for intermission
But it feels like something's missing
Made all this bait but forgot to go fishing

I don't want fame not for the same reasons
We're all in this war we commit the same treasons
What's pleasing to you causes me to unglue
And what's creasing my smile doesn't entertain you
Should I stay in denial or try something new
Because it might be my music but I make it for you
Should I stay in denial or try something new
Because it might be my music but I make it for you

This track won't rack up the views
This track won't make the news
This track won't go viral
This track won't cause a drama wave that spirals
This track won't have people clicking and sharing
This track won't be seen as epic or daring
This track could be big if I'd drop some names
This track could be amped if I got more enraged
This track could blow up if I played the right game
This track is my soul alone in its cage
This track is me old not wanting to change
This track would unfold but I sewed it too tight
This track is my wisdom and my will to fight
This track is for when I am no longer here
This track is to learn to use hope against fear
This track will be heard by a few hundred at best
So to you few I say share your love with the rest

We Skeem together to change the world
A small army of dreamers so let's see what unfurls

I don't want fame not for the same reasons
We're all in this war we commit the same treasons
What's pleasing to you causes me to unglue
And what's creasing my smile doesn't entertain you
Should I stay in denial or try something new
Because it might be my music but I make it for you
Should I stay in denial or try something new
Because it might be my music but I make it for you
