AIN'T DOWN WITH NO RAGE N HATE

In my time I've often been jived and taken in by the grift
Of some smooth tongue rappin' a line of absolute sterling ****
But there's one con I've never bought 'cause I'll never take its bait
That's the line that'd have me subscribe to the follies of anger and hate

Now I'm not saying I've not been tempted to vent my spleen without
Lord knows how easy it is to place cause for troubles about
There's always a convenient hanger to receive the hurt-spun coat
Of accusation for injury indignation brooding has sewn

Nah I ain't down with n rage n hate
I ain't cool with no move to defame
Anyone based on their race
Or any personal difference of taste
That won't fly with this human no way
Nah I ain't down with no rage n hate

Sure it's easy a false faith to embrace
That tells you it's OK to fully displace
All the fear and uncertainty faced in the course of perilous days
But such BS can always be traced to intention to get your mind caged
And once you swallow that take you'll be left bound tight to the page
Of resentment you'll never escape that will fester deep in your brain
Until all the pain it inflames moves your hands to acts they cannot erase
That leaves you rotting away in a death-cell leading straight to the grave

Nah I ain't down with no rage n hate
I ain't cool with no move to defame
Anyone based on their race
Or any personal difference of taste
That won't fly with this human no way
Nah I ain't down with no rage n hate

Just remember we all have some pain
And blaming others never takes it away
Don't prove a fool slaving blindly in chains
Forged by evil to understanding restrain
Oh yes Satan I do know your name
And you ain't getting me damned to your flames
Better light candles to darkness forsake
And all our demons of deadly bitterness slay
So the angels of wisdom may reign
Over gold days where love guides our way

Nah I ain't down with no rage n hate
I ain't cool with no move to defame
Anyone based on their race
Or any personal difference of taste
Not on the basis of with whom love they make
Or what name of Lord God they embrace
That won't fly with this human no way
Nah I ain't down with no rage n hate
Don't sign me up for your march of lame
This living soul knows the wise of love's grace
Nah I ain't down with no rage n hate
And Cain's stain I will not entertain
Words heard peace out
