Tekst piosenki
(Intro – Petula Clark)
Round
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that’s turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
(Verse 1 – Kahsay)
In this day and age this very system’s strange
Parents are deranged, they’ve got their kids minds at point blank range
I can only seem to complain
I mean the Quran tells the truth
But isn’t a bit harsh to try and make a kid full full of life
Memorise a whole chapter and leave him with some so called insight after
Unlike most children to follow religion I wasn’t obligated
But I thought about it all to myself
And if there’s really a God
I think he should just look at himself and stop the conflict and religious wars occurring in the Middle East
Haven’t you gathered that I’m tryna bring meaning and seek some world peace
But one man can’t stand on his own two feet
And change the world with his opinions
But I’m sure as hell tryin’ and with my lyrics
(Verse 2 – Kid Pharaoh)
What’s taking place is the manipulation across the nation of my generation
Intoxication right in they craniums, man they taming ’em
Persuaded by society, TV screens
What the media says is what the youth believes
These teachers and professors brainwashing in a class
Study some crap the night before just to score a quick pass
Here studying some shit, all I’m thinking ’bout is rap
Do the math, Trigonometry can kiss my fat ass
Pythagorus, Geometry, Algebra kiss it next
Yo I got some other shit I wanna get off my chest
Teachers forcing information, ’bout to break my neck
In the real world, how many times will I have to find x?
Lemme give you an overview of the system of education
Regurgitation of information in an examination
This information will serve no occupation
For the rest of your life
Somebody please help me shed some light
Money’s the only motivation to even get an occupation
That piece of paper in your wallet has total domination
That’s that shit that people kill for
Go against they will for
To cop some shit they see in magazines and billboards
We gotta wash the brain, don’t brainwash
Tryna guide the youth, but they lost
Society be contradicting shit non-stop
Man pizza will arrive at your door before the cops
We kill killers to show that killing is wrong, please
These same people tryna advocate world peace
A better world, I stay hoping and wishing
But for now, this just some thoughtful thinking
But for now, this just some thoughtful thinking
But for now, this just some thoughtful thinking
