| Recognize your right to push back… | |
| Suffocated by the pressure to perform | |
| And the pressure to produce and the pressure to conform to the norms | |
| Animated by the pressure to succeed | |
| And the pressure to succumb and the pressure to believe in a cause | |
| Predicated on the pressure to accept | |
| And the pressure to explain and the pressure to perfect | |
| What is inherently flawless, in all this | |
| Recognize your right to push back… | |
| I already told you – I am not deterred by fear | |
| See accountability to me is a whole ‘nother theory | |
| So my obedience is not to ever be mistaken | |
| For faith in the creation, but in the fact I am conscious | |
| Of my reliance on the inability of science | |
| To justify sound on the grounds of profound silence | |
| Why then is the molecular configuration labeled ‘secular' | |
| When it's relegated to a genre? | |
| That which is from the mortal order's not built to last | |
| Irrespective of the measure of skill crafted | |
| So what Jah bless let no one curse | |
| I coerce the clergy, showin' no mercy to the pontiff | |
| Yes – and the muezzin's understandably upset by the clamor | |
| I climbed and tied the banner to the minaret | |
| Don't forget the pact, and | |
| Recognize your right to push back… | |
| Overwhelmed by the pressure to defer | |
| And the pressure to concede and the pressure to concur with the words | |
| Illustrated by the pressure to comply | |
| And the pressure to appease and the pressure to apply more pressure to your | |
| Peers ‘til the pressure puts them | |
| Under pressure to defend why they choose not to amend | |
| What is inherently gorgeous, in all this | |
| Recognize your right to push back… | |
| Lest ye judge and deem the position extremely biased | |
| Identify me as ‘self righteous' and ‘pious' | |
| I assail even the stale efforts of the Baha'is | |
| Endeavors have failed to make available Hiphop | |
| To the youth at large, when in truth it's hard to refute God | |
| Music is conducive to producin' art | |
| Between you and me, I'm through with stringin' beads | |
| And singin' of flowers and waves and leaves – it's not | |
| That I'm a separatist, my suggestion is: we address the risk | |
| Of giving the impression we missed the point | |
| To progress with the kids – not in spite of ‘em | |
| By request, invited ‘em to bless this spot | |
| So when it must be justice, we clutch this (mic) | |
| Clingin' to the cord – they cannot afford to ignore the value | |
| And when they doubt you | |
| Recognize your right to push back… | |
| Aggravated by the pressure to mature | |
| And the pressure to endow and the pressure to endure criticism | |
| Generated by the pressure to be numb | |
| To the pressure of the thumb of the one holdin' you down not allowin' you to | |
| Run from the pressure to be fine | |
| With the pressure to align with the pressure to abide by the rules | |
| Of the lawless, in all this | |
