An Argument In the Kitchen

aint no such thing as halfway crooks

aint no such thing as halfway intellectuals

aint no such thing as half read books

all i see are loud mouth crooks

that base everything off the way people look

spookin me out and trying to show off

when there isn't anything but smoke blowing

there's no such thing as the things you speak

the way you talk, your emotions bleed

you're weak

your words become more cheap

the longer you speak

i suggest you creep

and listen for a peep

no such thing as a smart person who doesn't listen

as we sit here and have this argument in the kitchen

and you keep dismissing

bait and hook like you're fishing

it's physics

you need to split

and fission

pay attention

and think before you speak

you're revealing your true intentions

non intelligently

understand that perspective

is not a collective

exchange thoughts and ideas

and you'll learn how to treat

another person

show respect

the next time we meet

by calling out

and taking names

showing face

talking about race

like you have it all understood

and the other opinion is no good

your mind is closed

as it should

you're from another planet

and our world's will collide

but let it ride

take a look

at someone else's life

you might be surprised

that it's the same on the inside
