Weigh Your Words

I don’t go making songs,
Still I’m sitting where I belong,
Just a few seconds, not too long,
From my years you take respect.

I’m no pretender, no disguise,
In my field I’m master, wise,
Ask around, they’ll tell you true,
I’m not the same as you…

I’m no faker, no disguise,
Not like you with empty lies,
In my field, I’m master, wise,
Ask the ones who brought you here.

I’m no pretender, no disguise,
In my field I’m master, wise,
Ask around, they’ll tell you true,
I’m not the same as you…

If you came to walk with me,
Others faced my company,
Go around and then you’ll see,
After asking who I am.

I’m no pretender, no disguise,
In my field I’m master, wise,
Ask around, they’ll tell you true,
I’m not the same as you…

My head is steady, full of sense,
Not like you, with ignorance,
I know the trickster’s evidence,
Even if he speaks two words.

I’m no pretender, no disguise,
In my field I’m master, wise,
Ask around, they’ll tell you true,
I’m not the same as you…

In your face I see the blur,
In your eyes the fog’s unsure,
You think life is just a war,
By force or by the hand.

I’m no pretender, no disguise,
In my field I’m master, wise,
Ask around, they’ll tell you true,
I’m not the same as you…

We were crushed yet still we stand,
Strong from root to head, so grand,
Ask around, you’ll understand,
No need for noise or pain.

I’m no pretender, no disguise,
In my field I’m master, wise,
Ask around, they’ll tell you true,
I’m not the same as you…

A thousand wait in line ahead,
A thousand more for what I said,
But I am patient, strong instead,
So hear it like the rest.

I’m no pretender, no disguise,
In my field I’m master, wise,
Ask around, they’ll tell you true,
I’m not the same as you…

Go complete your learning, son,
Grow and weigh the words you’ve spun,
When you know your place is done,
Then I’ll think to meet with you.

I’m no pretender, no disguise,
In my field I’m master, wise,
Ask around, they’ll tell you true,
I’m not the same as you…
