Dare - Saul Williams

I dare you to love me just the way I am

And I’ll surrender to the charge that we were always guilty

Guilty of our innocense

Never the same since our self-interest turned us against our neighbors

For no better reason than our ignorance

Manipulated by the power-hungry hoarders of exploitation

The machine of fear

The disparities between the careless and those who care

You dip your hands in this

You pay your tithes to the industry

Pay your tithes to the industry

You pay your tithes to the industry

And we adhere to your ministry

You buy a different name

We are the corporate matter-in-fact of our existence

It is plain to see that we’ll determine the course of this industry

Habits are choices made repeatedly

I dare you, I dare you to see it differently

I dare you

I dare you to love me just the way I am

And I’ll surrender to the fact that we were always guilty

Guilty of our innocense

Never the same since our self-interest turned us against our neighbors

For no better reason than our ignorance
