Blind Fools

[Verse 1]
Oh I’ve been silent, but I’m not deaf
And  I’m compliant, but I know how to be less
Some  say I’m quiet, but I’m at rest
Oh they haven’t heard me scream yet from my chest

[Pre-Chorus]
Ey-yo ey-yo
Crawling  out of this hole I’ve been in
Ey-yo  ey-yo
I’m waking, waking, waking up

[Chorus]
Did  you think we could be, we could be lied to?
Shame that you would think we, we couldn’t see through
The game you’ve been playing's a joke and
I hate to be breaking it to you
Oh  we won’t be, we won’t be blind fools, blind fools

[Verse 2]
Oh we’re not violent, these hands are clean
But we know how to get rowdy and make a scene
And yeah we’re smilin', but we got some mean
Oh we're sick of listening to the machine

[Pre-Chorus]
Ey-yo ey-yo
Crawling out of this hole we’ve been in
Ey-yo ey-yo
We're waking, waking, waking up

[Chorus]
Did you think we could be, we could be lied to?
Shame that you would think we, we couldn’t see through
The game you’ve been playing's a joke and
I hate to be breaking it to you
Oh we won’t be, we won’t be blind fools, blind fools

[Bridge]
I was born into an American dream
My mother, father, sister got the same hand free
Yeah, I went to college, wasn’t cheap
A hundred thousand g’s
I’m still sending checks to a bank
Every four weeks
Well I woke from that sleep
The day a man told me what I couldn’t be
Said, "Women don’t get hired in the music industry
Not trying to be mean, it’s liability"
So I rolled up the sleeves of my coat
I’ve had to work harder for things that some don’t
Judged for my hair, my makeup, my clothes
Still I’m rocking the jeans and the tees 'cause they're dope
No, no, we won't be blind fools
No, no, we won't be blind

[Chorus]
Did you think we could be, we could be lied to?
Shame that you would think we, we couldn’t see through
The game you’ve been playing's a joke and
I hate to be breaking it to you
Oh we won’t be, we won’t be blind fools, blind fools
Did you think we could be, we could be lied to?
Shame that you would think we, we couldn’t see through
The game you’ve been playing's a joke and
I hate to be breaking it to you
Oh we won’t be, we won’t be blind fools, blind fools
