I wonder why everything is notorized

why social-networks use my info to commercialize

but its also useful for domestic spies

no more warrants, just one-click to subscribe

and follow me when I socialize and fraternize

they wanna globalize their probing eyes

put terms of service so its legitimized

I don't really care I just parenthesize

and minimize what's less important

and get back to philosophize

proselytize and publicize my views

my people have been stigmatized

and victimized by the yet to be criminalized

abuse that we tax-payers subsidized

I'm traumatized cuz mommas cried

over senseless homicides and suicides

when will these issues ever subside?

we're living in extreme times

get back to the middle in other words the ides

Mankind's divide- why're we all so polarized?

hate results in colder eyes

why people try to colonize each other?

squash the beef and pulverize

whether Anglicized or Islamicized

it doesn't matter how you categorize

your size or worldview side 

its compromise, the devil tryna dramatize 

and demoralize, we must be civilized

humanity in one picture-frame mentally picturized

but wars militarize and brutalize

one group against another that's demonized

rackin up bodycounts cuz they're desensitized

to the military-complex industrialized

or the 'War on Terror' as its stylized

bombs and tanks kill helpless people terrified

the fact they hide

that war is terror, only victims realize

Don't sweat when they ostracize and scrutinize

and charge you with lies like you're ionized 

don't aggrandize lest you get bastardized

stay true don't apostatize 

keep the faith even if you're marginalized

its okay to cry as long as you tried

to change the world to humanize 

eventually the tears will vaporize

by the burning desire to get to the prize

 devise, organize and enterprise so you can monetize

but don't monopolize give others a chance to try

the apple pie's not only for I n I 

 Surprise! Surprise! The world will try to hypnotize 

to break the spell just look em in the eyes 

falsehood despise, does all that coughin' cover up the lies?

Reflect on your demise,

cuz coffins break up good ties, got us saying 'goodbyes.'
