Lyrics
Hypocrite
By Jim Frederick (9/8/02)
(14 bars) Verse 1:
(Sung) You think you?re so perfect
(Spoken) Hide behind a crucifix
(Sung) Say one thing
(Spoken) But mean another
(Sung) Pretend you?re a saint
(Spoken) When you?re fucking brothers
Pre-Chorus:
Why can?t you be real?
Even God can spot a flake
Just be yourself not some fake
Quit double standing
Just one way is all you need
(12 bars) Chorus:
You?re a hypocrite
Well I don?t give a shit
So get over it ? but we do
(X2 second time) but we do ?
(Spoken) no you don?t
(14 bars) Verse 2:
(Sung) You?ve got your religion
(Spoken) And I?ve got mine
(Sung) So what?s the difference?
(Spoken) Don?t hate cause neither one is right or wrong
(Sung) Nobody?s that close to tell who?s right any way
(Spoken) The color of our skin, the way we live
(Sung) Shouldn?t matter ? don?t judge unless you know me
CHORUS
(14 bars) Rap(8/18/03):
I?m living in color
While you?re still black ?n? white
You can?t see how bad all your lies are affecting me
There?s, no, ands, ifs or, buts
Just one way, like John Wayne
Makes me wanna take a gun and blow you away
Little miss can?t be wrong ? who?s running sideways?
So I?m gonna rat tat ha ha ha ha
All your ignorance away
So two faced, vision blurred like ya shit faced
But we do, voodoo, who do, I do
(11 bars) Verse 3:
(Sung) Nobody?s perfect
(Spoken) Not even you
(Sung) So don?t tell us what to do
(Spoken) I don?t try ? to control you
(Sung) If I?m gonna trip then let me fall
(Spoken) We all learn the hard way
(Yell) We all learn the hard way!
CHORUS
