LYRICS
I don't mean to read so much ]
Trying hard to be enough
Saints call me a sinner
The world keeps getting thinner
Eating every lie they're told
Trying hard to fit the mold
You have your faith and it swings back my way
Never finding the gray
Aways black on white days
Quick to find no mistakes
Never try to educate
Ignorance ain't bliss
Why don't we know this?
So won't you be kind to me
You don't know where my mind could be
I'll try to be kind to you
I don't know what my words can do
Free your mind if you live with some kind, necessary unspoken word
Spare a heart with the words unheard
I don't care for your opinion
You take care of your own dominion
They say that intellect calls for open minds
But intercourse draws a natural line
I'll get your peace on life
Promoting hypocrisy
Now you have your say and it
Swings back their way
Never finding the gray
Always black on white days
Quick to find our mistakes
Never try to educate
Ignorance ain't bliss
Why don't we know this?
So won't you be kind to me
You don't know where my mind could be
I'll try to be kind to you
I don't know what my words can do
Free your mind if you [into?] me
Kind of stupid that I took the time
It changed my life just to fill [?]
Kind of crazy that I still obsess
On what I look like wishing I wait less
Kind of sad that someone feel the need
To validate and always people please
Kind of sad that someone feel enough
Cause validation come from all the love
Kind of crazy someone pick a phrase
Choose not to listen and result to hate
Kind of crazy nations will unite
To conquer culture for the world divide
Kind of stupid that we still can't learn
That black life matter
Tell me, when's our turn
Kind of sad for the land of the free
While we stay fighting for equality
So won't you be kind to me
You don't know where my mind could be
I'll try to be kind to you
I don't know what my words can do
Free your mind if you learn to be kind
