[Intro / Spoken]
I ain’t talkin’ down to you.
I’m talkin’ to the old me.
[Hook]
We don’t think no more, we just feel, then defend it,
Scroll, share, post, now your mind codependent.
No “why,” no proof, no logic in the sentence,
If it sound good, you believe it in a second.
Yeah, that was me too — I ain’t runnin’ from the truth,
I was loud with opinions, but I had no proof.
Now I move like Socrates, question every view,
If it don’t make sense, I don’t say it, and neither should you.
[Verse]
I used to talk first, never thought twice,
Argue full speed with a half-built mind.
Ego on guard, heart on fire,
Actin’ like I knew but I really ain’t wise.
Everything I said was “I feel like — I feel,”
Never asked “What’s real? What’s fact? What’s sealed?”
Didn’t care ’bout truth, only cared ’bout pride,
I would rather stay blind than admit “you right.”
Judgein’ everybody like I’m sittin’ on a throne,
Whole lotta heat, not a single thought owned.
I ain’t test sources, I ain’t read deep,
I let TikTok teach and I called that “me.”
I ain’t break nothin’ down, I ain’t check relevance,
I ain’t ask “why,” I ain’t want evidence.
I was sold on a script I ain’t read, I just ran it,
Talkin’ like a boss with a tenant-mind planet.
Then I learned: real ones ask “Why you think that?”
“Show me where you learned it.” “What’s the clean fact?”
I ain’t gotta hate you just to disagree —
I just wanna see the chain, walk it back, show me.
Now I don’t bow to a crowd just to fit,
If I say something, I can back that shit.
You cling to a lie? That’s chain, that’s rope.
You cling to the truth? That’s sword, that’s hope.
If the rule change shifts every time teams switch,
That ain’t justice, that’s just rich.
Emotion ain’t evidence, feelings ain’t proof —
You ain’t winnin’ an argument just yellin’ in the booth.
So I sharpened my mind ’til it cut like blade,
First real freedom that I ever made.
Ask “why,” slow down, don’t move off rage —
If it don’t survive logic, it don’t hit stage.
[Hook - repeat]
We don’t think no more, we just feel, then defend it,
Scroll, share, post, now your mind codependent.
No “why,” no proof, no logic in the sentence,
If it sound good, you believe it in a second.
Yeah, that was me too — I ain’t runnin’ from the truth,
I was loud with opinions, but I had no proof.
Now I move like Socrates, question every view,
If it don’t make sense, I don’t say it, and neither should you.
