It's like I'm living on death row
Sweating like a pig in a slaughterhouse
The only thing I'm worried about is letting my daughter out
The capitol agenda got the globe on pimp mode
I do my best to teach her independence is pivotal
Because in my opinion, gold digging is pitiful
It's critical for me to help her get to her pinnacle
The principle is based on blatant discrimination
The system exists to keep her brain on a slave ship
Entertainment's full of sexual innuendo
There's a dirty joke right in your daytime game show
What happened to the rating system?
The Federal Communications Commission
Seems to have lost all discretion
There's mayhem in the media, I can't screen all of it
I refuse to stand by and be a passive part of it
The TV and the Internet are deviant mediums
Don't ever be a victim of blind obedience
God help me I got kids out here
It's a cold world and these pirates are trying to pillage
I'm just trying to block the wind out here
So if you see my seed slipping remember it takes a village
Lord help me we got kids out here
It's a cold world and these pirates are trying to pillage
I'm just trying to block the wind out here
So if you see a seed slipping remember it takes a village
My living is stressful, I'm fighting off the strength of a powerhouse
And feeling this anxiety, I really don't talk about
My sun shine, but all that glitters ain't gold
One of the hardest things in life is learning when to say "no"
So they say it's my example that you're probably gonna take from
There's all types of mistakes and I've definitely made some
If you decide to keep any advice that I give
Then never let the past define you, the future forgives
See there's potholes and pitfalls, saints and swindlers
Different perspectives measured by your brain's experience
No one is perfect, the flaws hide beneath the surface
Use your eyes to determine the pedigree of a person
Trust your instincts, learn to filter what your friends think
You could follow, you could lead or you could do a new thing
Move a mountain, move a molehill but keep on doing
Cuz life's a trippy troop if you're moving with loose shoe strings
God help me I got kids out here
It's a cold world and these pirates are trying to pillage
I'm just trying to block the wind out here
So if you see my seed slipping remember it takes a village
Lord help me we got kids out here
It's a cold world and these pirates are trying to pillage
I'm just trying to block the wind out here
So if you see a seed slipping remember it takes a village
