Sometimes you gotta read between the lines, and see what you're not supposed to see Sometimes we gotta reach beyond the lines, and be what you're not supposed to be Supposed as in assumed, what they want me to do How they suggest I act so I could be used like a tool But I'm human, refusin' to be used in ways that just aren't me I'm sorry if I see what I'm not supposed to see But you couldn't tell me what it was not to be looking for And after I seen one, I seen more Turn on the news and what you hear Same old, same old story of the year But if you just ask yourself, what do they want you to know? Then the opposite of obvious is exactly the mo-tive For them to have you live, how they want So you don't interfere, unless they want But you see it's necessary to hold out on their clench Flex your strength and wrench free of their grasp Spontaneity, freedom at last Free your mind, read between the lines, see what you will find Free your mind, read between the lines, see what you will find I live outside the box 'cause I don't like the way it talks I got my own views, that's not reflected on in your remarks Media sharks can't handle this monopolistic monsoon Tycoon tongue twister, dear Mr. Newscaster Let me tell you what you're doin' when you make assumptions You cause other people to assume as well, to accept what you say to serve your function And thus in, frequently repeating lots of opinions based on what you assume Propaganda works this way to bring your doom Don't jump to assumptions when you think Don't quickly come to conclusions when you confide Keep your third eyelid open wide, don't blink Don't write out of blind sight, read between the lines Sometimes you gotta read between the lines, and see what you're not supposed to see Sometimes we gotta reach beyond the lines, and be what you're not supposed to be I tend to never view TV But I've seen a TV and it seems to be feeding me Negative frequencies as I stared focused completely Where's the love and hope that I needed in me Peace and happiness, please, have some decency At least some scrutiny, why did they want to ruin me? You know they do it, you see, disrespecting unity By selecting purely bad news, commented on with sad views They're affecting people's attitudes, making me want to smash a tube They say whatever's clever enough, attracting you Impacting you with advertisements and jingles from some crummy commercial Taking up space in your head until your memory's full Using reversal psychology to subliminally market To target youthful lives to shoot full of lies That's how they create demand to buy their supplies Remove the wool from over your eyes Free your mind, read between the lines, see what you will find Free your mind, read between the lines, see what you will find When the media says voter turnout is low And the reason is because we're satisfied to vote When the president says we're going to war with terrorists And nobody asks why they were pissed, didn't care where our error is When they make various family sitcoms Nothing real, no ideas, only problems telling you how to live wrong When they play songs demeaning to our being Glorifying horrifying stories of surviving as crack fiends, I ain't believing How almost everyone emceeing on TV is black Because in reality, I ain't seein' that And that's just the tip of the iceberg Hip hop is a culture that's living and breathing, changing to fit whatever you like, word But the media would like you to observe and emulate what they create So you can sweat and slave to earn money to pay every day until your grave They make you want a crave all the crap they offer Because your purchase is the missing piece completing the cycle of slaughter Sometimes you gotta get smarter Sometimes you gotta read between the lines, and see what you're not supposed to see Sometimes we gotta reach beyond the lines, and be what you're not supposed to be Free your mind, read between the lines, see what you will find
