lirik lagu jon foli – bias of age
[verse 1]
time i address my bias
not old but old enough to know i have traits not to be desired
slowly turning into the old heads that oppress me
oppressed become oppressor, i don’t treat the next man fairly
my mama beat me so i beat my kids
my older sister said to shut up when she speaking
so i speak the same when baby sister speaking
i fear for my next of kin if i don’t change
d~mn, that’s the bias of age
stuck in my prejudice ways
people tell me youngin i was just like you back in the day, fighting for change
but it never happened
i couldn’t go on with life dealing with struggle
everyday hustle
that was not for me
it was either lose myself and live or die and be free
i chose with ease but my faith wavered not
knowing you would better act with grace and not fall prey to the bias of age
[chorus]
as i dey hustle where you dey
you want am easy my guy you dey craze
that be bias of age
abeg no stress me i no grow
what you want make i do saf you no know
see the bias of age
you say wisdom is only in the old
when is time to act on word you be no show
that be bias of age
i pray i do better in my latter days
but i see myself gravitate to your sinful ways
[verse 2}
where i’m from
where you from
once you’re young you’re wrong
apologize little n~gga
so that be bias of age
kids are raised in fear and not respect
you learn that on your own
speak with you chest
so what that bias of age
you tripping to think the old ones played no role
lessons passed on
it’s difficult to pass the baton
i understand
we got next you gotta trust us
we could go farther if we leave behind the bias of age
i swear we mentally caged
scared to flip the page
part 2 says the people take control
the land is free and filled with gold
milk and honey
our days our sunny bright
but it’s up to us
these politicians don’t care
introduce themselves with an alias
put gross add ons on fares
60~ should not be government seat officials
it’s a f~cking ritual
d~mn i hate the bias of age
[chorus]
as i dey hustle where you dey
you want am easy my guy you dey craze
that be bias of age
abeg no stress me i no grow
what you want make i do saf you no know
see the bias of age
you say wisdom is only in the old
when is time to act on word you be no show
that be bias of age
i pray i do better in my latter days
but i see myself gravitate to your sinful ways
