Lyrics

Schism

[Verse 1]

Don't look at me as a white man

I'm just a man

Don't look at me as a black man

I'm just a man

It takes a man to deal with ignorance

Prove that you can

Like having to climb a barbwire fence

[Chorus 1]

Can ya tell me how it feels to be hated?

Can ya tell me how it feels to be loved?

Can you show me what it means to be respected?

Or is the answer none of the above?

[Verse 2]

It's so easy to hate your brother

It should be hard

It's so easy to hate your friends

Why ain't it hard?

Love and hate come in the deck together

Play your card

Love or hate can rule your life forever

[Chorus 1]

Can ya tell me how it feels to be hated?

Can ya tell me how it feels to be loved?

Can you show me what it means to be respected?

Or is the answer none of the above?

[Verse 3]

Hating, fighting, lying, and I can't take

Bitching, screwing, crying, and I just hate

Taking, cheating, spying, and I can't take

Hating, fighting, dissing, fighting, fighting

Fighting

And I can't take no

[Chorus 2]

Schism

Schism, sch, sch, sch, schism

A house divided can't stand

Schism, sch, sch, sch, schism

A house divided can't stand

[Verse 4]

Prejudice is unnatural thought

When we were kids

It's not inherited, it's taught

When we were kids

If we were blind and had no choice

Differences hid

Would we hate each other by the tone of our voice?

[Chorus]

Can ya tell me how it feels to be hated?

Can ya tell me how it feels to be loved?

Can you show me what it means to be respected?

Or is the answer none of the above?

[Verse 3]

Hating, fighting, lying, and I can't take

Bitching, screwing, crying, and I just hate

Taking, cheating, spying, and I can't take

Hating, fighting, dissing, fighting, fighting

Fighting

And I can't take no

[Chorus 2]

Schism

Schism, sch, sch, sch, schism

A house divided can't stand

Schism, sch, sch, sch, schism

A house divided can't stand

[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude]

And I can't take no!

[Chorus 2]

Schism

Schism, sch, sch, sch, schism

A house divided can't stand

Schism, sch, sch, sch, schism

A house divided can't stand
