If you don't read the newspaper you're uninformed
If you do read it, you're misinformed
What is the long term effect of too much information?
Information, information, I just need some information
I've been dyin', I've been dyin', is it lack of education?
I've been readin', I've been readin' without any transformation
I'm addicted, I'm addicted, is it over-stimulation?
Hello bro, I should be confessin' that I am broke
I lust to be right, but admitting I'm wrong, I am slow
I got a lot that I know, but um, I don't grow
I don't get information for my soul, it's for my foe
Is there anything holy or anything sacred?
Do we demonstrate joy? Do we demonstrate patience?
Is there damage we do with this misinformation?
Is a gun and a bullet the only form of hatred?
When I say persecution we ain't talkin' 'bout no violence, dude
What they really wanna do is try to silence you
I believe the best of my values and ethics
But my cynicism tells me that your values are reckless
Information, information, I just need some information
I've been dyin', I've been dyin', is it lack of education?
I've been readin', I've been readin' without any transformation
I'm addicted, I'm addicted, is it over-stimulation?
Where's the movement?
Somebody please point me towards the movement
I was told that you were the ones I should be cool with
But when they act foolish, who calls them out on their bullshhh?
Bruh, you cannot disagree with the cool kids
This is how they get down, oh, this how we get down?
What I gotta do just to prove I'm in the in crowd?
I know my value, I might be small, but fame is fickle
They might be bigger, I am a dime, they are a nickel
What's the value of grace when sin is cheap? (Yeah)
I've learned the value of silence when fools speak (Yeah)
In a culture of speed that will judge you when you're slow
Oh, let me guess, this is stuff that you already know
We live in a society now where it's just first, who cares?
Get it out there, we don't care who it hurts
We don't care who we destroy, we don't care if it's true
Just say it, sell it
Anything you practice you'll get good at, including BS
Information, information, I just need some information
I've been dyin', I've been dyin', is it lack of education?
I've been readin', I've been readin' without any transformation
I'm addicted, I'm addicted, is it over-stimulation?
Information, information, I just need some information
Tell me, tell me who you listen to
I've been dyin', I've been dyin', is it lack of education?
Tell me, tell me who you listen to
I've been readin', I've been readin' without any transformation
Bad stories tell lies, good stories tell truth
I'm addicted, I'm addicted, is it over-stimulation?
Read Ralph Ellison slap-boxin' with relevance
Sick of the prejudice, but what is the medicine?
I read every book, I followed their artists
And I updated my look and I aimed for new targets
And I laughed at their jokes, I flattered the smartest
And I covered their secrets, I learned in the darkness
And I sat with the brave, I heard of their pain
I ran in their lanes, I spoke out their names
I visit their chains, I studied my heroes
I called on my tutors, I learned their maneuvers
Avoided their flaws and ran into new ones
I screamed and I marched, I read what they taught
I tallied their loss, I counted the cost
I spoke and I fought, shamed my oppressors
I practiced the message, I loathed my aggressors
I met with the restless, I felt so impressive
I learned and I listened, I spoke against systems
I claimed altruism, I had information, but did I have wisdom?
But you heard me? Does that make sense?
