The Messenger Takes The Brunt 50.1 [EXPLICIT]

[Verse] Hey America I got a question for the crowd About the way you’re acting and why you’re acting loud If a gander brings the word and tells you what is new Why you swinging at the messenger like he’s the one to sue? He didn't make the headline or the trouble in the street He’s just the one standing there in the middle of the heat. [Spoken Word Begins Here] [Intermission Anthem Begins Here] Don't shoot the messenger for what he has to say. The news is just the weather at the ending of the day. You’re punching at a shadow while the real target flies. Living in a world built on hollow, whispered lies. Stop holding me responsible for things I didn't start. Before you tear the unity of the whole flock apart. [Spoken Word Ends Here] [Intermission Anthem Ends Here] [Verse] Look at the war overseas and the chaos on the shore When I tell you what is happening and explain the bloody war I ain't the one attacking or the one who called the strike But you’re venting all your anger on the gander at the mic I’m just giving you the facts and the status of the play While you’re acting like I’m the one who led the flock astray. [Verse] Your talking falls on deaf ears 'cause you’re fighting with a ghost Attacking something I am not from coast to dusty coast That’s a straw man argument a hollow wooden shell Constructing a delusion just to give the gander hell Why you acting like your brain is under heavy repair? Making up a story out of nothing but the air. [Verse] What if I’m married to a black goose and the family is tight? Now I gotta sit and listen while you tell me I ain't right? I have to find a way to explain the vision in your head Something you invented while you were laying in your bed We’re wasting all our energy on a story you just made While the real truth is sitting in the cold and lonely shade. [Spoken Word Begins Here] [Intermission Anthem Begins Here] You’re focused on the small things while the big ones pass you by. Looking for a reason just to scream and just to cry. The gander stole the purse and he headed for the gate. So you punched a total stranger just to vent out all your hate. It’s a world full of Karens and they’re punching to the left. While they ignore the heavy crime and the spirit of the theft. [Spoken Word Ends Here] [Intermission Anthem Ends Here] [Verse] Did you get too many boosters or a glitch inside the wire? What is happening to the flock and why the misplaced fire? It’s like a world of Karens in a frantic kind of state Punching in the wrong direction and deciding on our fate The bad gander took the money and he ran the other way But you attacked the stranger who was just having a day. [Verse] I’m the messenger taking the brunt of all the heat While the real villains walk on the other side of the street Check your straw man tactics and your misplaced rage Before we turn the final and the heavy-hearted page I’m just bringing you the news of the world and the land Stop swinging at the one with the microphone in hand.
