letra de defense mechanism - ash jetson

yo, aye, yo

verse:

just a n-gga with some dreams
but it don’t seem like i can ever
make ’em happen
its like sometimes i’m too afraid to fail
to get up and take action
maybe that’s cause i see what happens
to most of the people with p-ssion
they end up like christ in the p-ssion
or livin outside diggin for food
in trashcans
so i just settle for a check to cash in
but deep down
i know that this sh-t ain’t life
i could be changin’ the world
with the sh-t i write
why i’m afraid to manifest
what’s in my sight?
man it just might be the system
got us thinkin’ you’re gonna get k!lled
for havin’ wisdom
and that you’ll never make a dollar
by havin’ a vision
so we create these
defense mechanisms
call our goals “dreams”
so we can’t make ’em real
think we’ll be laughed at
for sayin how we feel
so we drown the feelings out
with the drink and the pills
not realizin, all the while
we’re stuck still
like i used to spit this god sh-t
like i was professin wisdom
but really it was my biggest
defense mechanism
’cause gods are perfect
and don’t need to change
the perfect excuse to hate yourself
and stay the same
realized, a god shouldn’t
even feel hate
so what was i really?
just a human with some great
defenses, but now i’ve come to my senses
and see that i ain’t perfect
but as i keep on ascendin’
and stop listenin’ to the message
the media sendin’
i ask myself
is this hate mine or did they make it?
got us thinkin’ humans are evil
because the system’s racist
take the chain of insecurity
and prejudice and break it
i won’t let you turn me into you
before i couldn’t say it
but i’m
just a f-ckin human
just like everybody else
but that don’t mean i can’t
do sh-t with the hand that i was dealt
and it definitely don’t mean
i can’t have love for myself
man, i think the love was there along,
but i listened when
y’all told me how i shoulda felt
like

chorus:

yo, i’m just a human with some flaws
i mean everybody got ’em,
but i hate myself
where’d that come from?
tryna find the cause
i mean maybe its what i was told
that i was
by the school and the church
and the laws
i could choose to be a victim
but defense mechanisms
won’t control my thoughts
won’t control my thoughts, nah
said, we’re just humans with flaws
i mean everybody got ’em,
but we hatin’ each other
where’d that come from?
tryna find the cause
i mean maybe its what we were told
that we are by the school
and the church
and the laws
we could choose to be the victims
but, defense mechanisms
won’t control our thoughts
we could all be gods, yuh
