tap-tap, tap-tap, tap-tap, tap-tap Shhhhhhhhhhh drop your pen and drink your inks stop your words from polluting the clean slate minds of the youth let them memorize the ancient rules This world can't read what you're writing Arrange a funeral and bury your thinking Make it quick and be silent Don't let them know that you're different You can write? Good for you. Now go and hide, or else they'll come here too. tap-tap, tap-tap, tap-tap, tap-tap Shhhhhhhhhhh How dare you write against the tides about your views about the lies about the news and prostitutes and ****** abuse? This world is cruel, don't overthrow the rule of men who can only write tap-tap about women rights, tap-tap and the social issues, tap-tap and the silent taboos, tap-tap and the rich and the poor, tap-tap and about the schools which are producing   brain-washed fools. tap-tap, tap-tap, tap-tap, tap-tap Shhhhhhhhhhh Don't you know? They heard you too Run for your life, they're chasing you To erase your words and silence your voice To suffocate you In your own mind tap-tap, tap-tap You're still standing here, asking me why? Well, you're a threat to what they possess the power above all the power to play god to decide how we'll live and where and why and decide how we are going die. You're still too young, you haven't seen How they hide behind the walls of their own fragile masculinity and show their strength to scare you away Ironic how it reflects their own image. tap-tap, tap-tap, tap-tap, tap-tap Shhhhhhhhhhh Now here they are, calling you names with ***** meanings that they have made They're pulling you down, dragging you around, making sure you'll never make a sound. tap-tap, tap-tap, tap-tap, tap-tap,tap-tap, tap-tap, tap-tap, tap-tap Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I know I know Oh, I know How hard it is to suffer all this a punishment of their own ****** sins It makes me wonder if they even will punish the angels on the last day for writing down their ***** ***** mistakes.

You're too young to write (the bitter truth)

If someone has ever told you not to write, know that now is your time to write.
