Old World

They say "things are getting crazy out here" 


Nah bruh. Things been crazy out here

Since the cavemen days people been killing and stealing
The only things that changed are society's feelings
Also some laws and societal rules
Like today you can't just challenge a man to a dual
But back then that was cool

Back then whole continents of people were killed off
Ask the Native Americans about it

And slavery was a way of life before people realized it wasn't right
Ask my great grandmother about it 

The strange fruit hanging from the tress 
The blood dripping from the leaves
The whip marks on the backs of little babies
Nah bruh. Things been crazy

There's nothing new under the sun
So all the crazy things you hear these days have already been done
Including the things that were never brought in the light about those days
So there's also nothing new in the shade

We just have better communication 
We hear about the evil people all over the nation
In 'those' days there were no video surveillance
No live reporting on tv stations

Basically all word of mouth
So you know it has to be a bunch of crazy ish that no one ever heard about 

But these days we hear about everything
Gossip like we're 17 
And talk like experts about events we never seen
We're in love with violence, just look at that blood diamond on your wedding ring

We all think the world is coming to an ending
But the world been crazy from the beginning 
Its not "getting crazy"
You're just finally realizing whats in it
