Exile

Exile - Shad Lyrics

Though I empathize with em

And sympathize with em

(x4)



Though I empathize with em

And sympathize with em

I don’t enterprise with em

Or synchronize with em

We don’t strategize with em

We’re not allies with em

We don’t fratenize with em

Let em patronize

We don’t want no ties with em

Wont monopolize with em

Let em ostracize

We don't

compromise with em

We wont victimize with em

Commit genocide with em

Spit their lies with em

Or objectify women with em

Socialize with em

Broke my ties with em

Now we open-eyed in this over-hyped system

We know…



Chorus:

This wisdom of man

Is foolishness to God

Don’t build on the sand

Or trust in the odds

Be shrewd as the snakes

And innocent as doves

Don’t succumb to hate

Overcome hate with love

(x2)



We’re taught not to question to status

quo cuz the masses never get heard

that’s unless your established

with expert professors in dress-shirts

and glasses that lecture to classes

from lecterns

where next term the best third will pass an’

earn cash working as

desk clerks for the best firms in manhattan

where the pressure can crack em

cuz networks and net worth and class get

treasured over pleasures that last

always measuring stacks

a passion for lesser god’s

growing, see – the distraction is clever

but trust



(chorus)



Though I empathize with em

And sympathize with em

I don’t enterprise with em

Or synchronize with em

We don’t strategize with em

We’re not allies with em

We don’t fratenize with em

Let em patronize

We don’t want no ties with em

Wont monopolize with em

Let em ostracize

We don't

compromise with em

We wont victimize with em

Commit genocide with em

Spit their lies with em

Or objectify women with em

Socialize with em

Broke my ties with em

Now we open-eyed in this over-hyped system

We see…





(chorus)
