Reject Your Elders Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stop talking to me and try taking some action
Hate your whole life then forget using distractions
You got family, how you act like we ain't there?
Leaving us with strangers you just met at the daycare
I tell you how to fix shit, then you ignore me
Been like this for 24 years, did it to 4 kids
Say you need some help, you beg and implore me
Cave 'cause I know if i don't results will be morbid
Mom, your therapist just acts like a cheerleader
Just says what you want to hear, you always believe her
Builds you up like pyramids, and truths a wrecking ball
You don't try to change, think Earth's at your beck and call
So when things go wrong, everyone else is to blame
Except you, even your kids are bringing you shame
How do you believe your own delusions despite evidence?
All I got from you was loads of pain and mental pestilence

[Hook]
Stop talking 'bout your problems less you doin'
Somethin' 'bout it
All i hear is whining, stop bitch, i can live without it
You rely on luck, no bucks, just vouchers
You need me more than I give a fuck about you

[Verse 2]
You sit in your chair everyday and you pray
Yet stopped caring about all your kids along the way
I know that your sick, but you're not paralyzed
You still boss me 'round when there's peril in my eyes
Say that we're a team but I do it all myself
I'm the one who worked to put awards on the shelf
I'm the one who spent the hours going insane
And you never cared until I started to train
Gave up on me 'til i started using my brain
Now you take the credit when you never had the pain
I keep up my grades, social life, and house alone
You sleep while my stepmom's working hospital phones
All you do's relax, yet when I demand respect
Or for you to keep your word, you say keep myself in check
Because you're the dad so authority is certain
Who gives a fuck if my body or my mind are hurting
[Hook]
Stop talking 'bout your problems less you doin'
Somethin' 'bout it
All i hear is whining, stop bitch, i can live without it
You rely on luck, no bucks, just vouchers
You need me more than I give a fuck about you

[Verse 3]
You lay around all day always dodging a job search
Everything's ok for as long as you got church
Pray to god he saves you, gives you government money
There's no need to move beyond that long as dollars keep coming
Always bailed out yet take pride in survival skills
Say you live well because that's what the Bible wills
Guess I never bought you food when your money ran out
Never helped you find a roof when payments didn't pan out
I'm not saying you need to be happy with what's happened
But when I'm shocked my body's still taking action
Never take advice from me, throw out all my tactics
In a fraction of max time you've run out of rations
Why deny my efforts and the aid that they'd bring?
Who's that benefit? How is that helping things?
Seems like my voice goes unheard if it differs
From what they want to hear, well then what about this verse?

[Hook]
Stop talking 'bout your problems less you doin'
Somethin' 'bout it
All i hear is whining, stop bitch, i can live without it
You rely on luck, no bucks, just vouchers
You need me more than I give a fuck about you
