I can see it in their eyes

They wanna take me to one side

To fight me down to my knees

Until I'm beggin' for some mercy, please

They seem so much like friends, so

Why must they always pretend to be

Something they're not

Something they're not

And these opinions of these hip hop stars

Talkin' 'bout their money and all their women and their cars

Yeah but I won't stand for that fickle life no more

I can't stand it.

Oh, I'm gettin' off my knees

Oh, our ignorance is spreadin' this disease

Oh, I'm gettin' off my knees.

And I can see you in their souls

'cause they probably like to be consoled

By someone who didn't care

Someone who they could bear to

Tell all, what they'd done

Who they've seen and what they've shown

But I can't stand that fickle life no more

I can't stand it.

Oh, I'm gettin' off my knees

Our ignorance is spreadin' this disease

Oh, I'm gettin' off my knees

So, I'm gettin' off my knees

And our ignorance is spreadin' this disease

So, I'm gettin' off my knees.
