Desensitized lyrics

Yo, remember when our biggest fear was Y2K?
`Cause we were ignorant, blind, and we liked it that way
Overseas conflicts share air time on 60 Minutes
With corporate sponsorships and celebrity who-did-it?
Y`all better flip on the BBC
If you wanna see some reality on TV
Real survivors make hip-hop music with no money
And there`s nothing really real about The Real World, trust me
See, our government subsidizes corn and cattle
Makes corn syrup cheap so you know what cows eat
That`s why fruits and vegetables cost big bucks and candy`s cheap
That`s why our teeth rot and kids are obese
Smoke pot and go to jail but feel free to die of heart disease
Bad for you but it`s good for the economy
My name is Off Top, producer slash emcee
I`m not anti-government, just anti-lobotomy

I see too much man, I`m desensitized
These eyes roll back in my head `cause blank stares are the norm
(All I wanna do is write, record, and perform)

Baby`s girl`s breakdown
She`s only nineteen
She`s a sophomore in college with a freshman`s perspective of what it all means
She makes mountains out of molehills
And the moles are living high on the hog like kings
She knows her daddy wanted a boy
But he`d settle for a beauty queen
She fits neither category
Accepts presents and jewelry as payment for negligence
Invests her emotion in the junk bonds of bling
I want a girl with no gag reflex
Who`s allergic to latex and addicted to sex
Nah, I`m kiddin` man
I really need sweet angel
Who`s strong enough to pick me up when I fail
But I doubt I`m gonna find one, walking through Hell
Where everybody that you meet wears a mask or a veil
And now she sees it for herself in high
