truly

so u askin
when i became split?

well, actually i always been
see, livin in two worlds
can make ur head spin
disoriented from so much travellin
passport so well stamped
it's amazin u still get allowed in
without gettin charged for defectin

but i won't guilt my conscience
cos i'm makin u confused
oh no, i won't be abused
no more by ur need to conform
ur smallness may dim
but my attitude looms larger than intended
but i ain't sendin it back for u
hell no, i ain't stayin
in check to comfort u
i just want to be one bad ass jew
and change this world that blocks
the heavens from view

u know it's amazin what i been told --
that big legged women ain't got no soul
and that if u play the part
ur always in control
it's so crazy to me more people don't lose it
tho maybe they do
and i just don't see it
she said, "half the people
half the time wanna just let it go,"
"well, what about the other half i wanted to know?"
she said, "they already lost it honey,
lost it a long time ago."

well, if rain can turn to snow
why can't war can turn to peace
why can't we at least
elect good people
to run the show
represent the street?
and i don't wanna forgo u
ur all i wanna know
'stead o shrinkin back
u make me wanna grow
and if everybody had somebody
like i got u
we wouldn't be led by fallacy
but by somethin true
and i truly believe that
really, i do

but too many people
got their heads in the sand
like it was some divine command
but i don't live in those heavens
i reside on this land
and i don't employ machines,
wanna work wit my own two hands
and i don't say no when i know i can
and u gotta be careful 'bout being
absorbed into any clan
cos those men in charge
are already makin their plans
but their plans are schemes
and as leonard said,
"a scheme ain't a vision"
so don't let 'em lay hands
don't give 'em a chance
cos they'll tune u into the music
but baby, they don't let ya dance

said a scheme ain't a vision
so don't get entranced
entrenched,
smell their stench
of their unbalanced stance
lance off their hold on u
like u got a laser
but don't let it faze ya
when they call ya trouble
don't explain it away
when they call u woman,
oh u crazy woman!
like it were a flaw
like it wasn't somethin u needed
to exist in this martial law
marital law
but the only flaw as i see it
the only way we can't beat it
is if we drown ourselves
so they can swim
u call that a whim?
i call that instinct --
same as u
and if we're sane we too
would let our distinct selves ring true
and i truly believe that
really, i do
