Luyện nghe bài hát Crooked Ways

Word to Grandpops who couldn't fathom the
I don't hate America, demand she keeps her promises
looking like the 60's, it's crazy
A nationwide deja vu, my people 'posed to do?
Go to schools after the Klan founder
Word 'round town is y'all don't see why we
Native American forced to learn about Junípero Serra
How is that fair,
Some heroes and some monsters get monuments built for 'em
But ain't we all a little bit a We crooked!
Man, heroes are worthless
And man can sure try, but God gives purpose
You crooked!
Be or be quiet
Your kingdom can catch flames as as riots
Entire empire's a card castle,
And the strength of your whole team is crumbled with one
crooked!
Your whole works is
He ain't old to buy beer but go on and enlist him
Send him to Iraq and why he come crazy?
'Cause no being should see the inside of a baby
You expect trust in a system that to be convinced
Of the madness of trusting a court that waved a Confederate
crooked!
That's twisted, demented, perverted, got fallen all over us
And got the to judge each other
Crooked!
That fatally flawed
Like sickness is a sign that you out of the of God
Like one of crack gains the same amount of jail time
As eighteen of cocaine, but ain't the same thing?
crooked!
Stay eating our own
And muster up a scandal of celebrating shine
And somehow righteous like the world needs to know
We exposing them posers judgmental boulders
Crooked!
And at one time, we pyramids
One can only wonder why we ain't ourselves out yet
We're as good as it crooked!
buffoons put a man on the moon
And I still get cellphone reception in my room
crooked!
Boy, that's often
standoff-ish, plan is outlandish
And uncanny, resemblance a mis-mark
Like Chris Columbus might as have landed in Denmark
Me - just an Chuck Taylor rhyme sayer
And the fact I ain't get lost on the way here is
Me - just a crooked stick in all of its
And somehow the school-to-prison pipeline this
And minds swiftly and change an entire industry
Tailor-made for greatness cuz got bad blood
Yeah, still looking at a Tunnel Rat
Pen player, earthworm, battle cat, trend
Might my lesson the day after the world ends
And been wrestling with it since my wife was my
Crooked like I'll a bullet for my wife
Yet I wonder what's under the skirt of the girl on my
eyes are mine, wander off sight, come and get me
Homie, I'm not a leader, just a hippie daddy issues
dreams and promises, a closed-minded hypocrite
All the while standing in the pulpit, the
We are all of the above, right and and indifferent
Yet none of the above, it fit in this
Subjects and predicates to my detriment
to elevating devastating pride
It's quite a ride but if you inside, bruh
Some just don't make sense, go wit' it
We stay perplexed at the truth that defies
But who say logic the best way to understand it?
Man, that's the of our colonizers
Truth is proven through ears and eyes and
If you can't touch it, then you can't it
That's why they can't explain the love in my daughter's
And that conscious rap, oh that's played out
You old-school, you old, dude, you out
It's not cool, old rules, they phased out
There's new rules, them new dudes ain't you
They say you hating when you don't toss 'em a
I study for every and y'all is looking for a cheat sheet
Things I tell ya, love you too much to be scared of ya
of contradictions, misnomers and paradox
Conclusion confusion the way that I see me
An apex predator, ten ahead of ya
Desperately to hide my insecurities
Papier maché proper, you trying to the duct tape
Defending my card castle like it could stand in one gust of
The of eyes shackle me just as I be tackling
My inner demons eat through my marriage and my
What is and humble?
Eloquent ridiculous, and nervous
The of cigarettes and broken dreams
out the tickets for the VIPs
Bands that been contenders now Venice Beach vendors
dawg, that could be me
I I'd never wear skinny jeans
But looks real dumb in size 40 Dickies
That's laughable, be adaptable
And hit the road to see how far that hole go
This is tense
None of this "already I've delivered" mess
None of pseudo-righteousness
I'mma let you guess the
Lusted little clusters surrounded by
That's the of foolish pride in the eyes of General Custer
They watched his eyes slowly like
"Yeah, weirdo, we the Alamo"
confusing, American generals get statues
Even for the battles they lose
People are so
Perpetuating the hate they out protesting
And exposing the holes in our motives like
side are you on: Walter or Sky's?
You cornered now 'cause corner boy is now humanized
Tryna make ends meet like you and I
That your paradigm, bruh that go
Change your life on sight the skies in Morocco
What is man but rich toiled in fine Hennessy
A beautiful garden that cost a pretty
Listen it's freely given, but you've been
These halos stay balanced on the tip of our
We crooked!
