lyrics

Words shouldn't make you do nothing unless it's what you wanted

Words can't lead nobody if they doesn't want to be led

Words are merely suggestions. Uniquely human inventions

Utilized to cloud intent. To blur what a deed means to do

To pull the wool over you

Read between the lines. That's where truth resides.

(You'll find it there every time)

Gotta look into their eyes. Their mouths are full of lies

A double-speaking enterprise

Words are just a grouping of symbols

Congregate to give you an earful

Repeated to impress upon the people that their living is dead.

Words are less better than actions

Turn family to opposite factions

The difference lies with intent

So mean what you say what you mean what you do

Stand up to what they're trying to do

For words can also be divine

Amplify the joy and holiness of humankind

It's all how we decide to accept the positive vibe

From every possible side
