Mental Slavery Lyrics by D. Ciano

Falling Forward

2015

[Chorus: Delayne Nicole]
Where are you going?
Where are you going?
Don’t leave Me
Don’t leave Me
Where are you going?
Where are you going?
Don’t leave me
Their love is misleading
[Verse 1: D. Ciano]
Look I can tell, things haven’t been alright for you
But we can’t attend every argument we’re invited to
They want you uncomfortable walking apprehensively
So they made you confuse violence with masculinity
Acting aggressive, attacking our brethren
Clapping a weapon’s effecting our essence, dare to correct it
Not here to question, just here to show we share a reflection
So far past our oppression yet we still lacking direction
Let’s find your passion, a dream you can achieve on your own
Cause they don’t want your future brighter than the screen on your phone
Speaking of phone, see how we rank each other’s importance?
With material things, electronics, color of Jordans
Our culture is hectic, pursuing social acceptance
And it seems praying will only send the vultures a message 
We should be growing investments not holding a necklace
These trends I’m hoping the next is, folgers for breakfast
There’s no fight to win our future, material worth our soul
When lives get evicted, paying attention’s what we owe
The sky is the limit, don’t get complacent in what you know
Cause complacency kills, and death isn’t a way to grow
[Hook: D. Ciano & Delayne Nicole]
I’ve been thinking, I’ve been thinking bout you and me
And exactly who we were before they told us who to be
I’ve been thinking I’ve been thinking bout being free
Ever since we’ve been enchained in this mental slavery
[Chorus]
[Verse 2: D. Ciano]
You’re such a flower, I hate you blossomed unusually
The florists enjoying you not growing beautifully
They want the absence of your class without truancy 
So they’ll make you confuse sexiness with nudity
See on TV they define what’s fine
To make you blind cause the definition’s already your design
But take your time, prevail through mud
Cause they’ll make you hate yourself so they could sell you love
The implants, the weaves, the make up, the dream
They sell you all these things by implying it’s what you need
And you'll fall for it, But I’m just hoping you’d fall forward
Now enhancing your inner beauty, I’m all for it
This world’s incompetent, with most lacking in common sense
Grew up fatherless, now her likes weigh more than compliments
Astonishing, rarely wives, just sides, baby mamas and
They strive to be called bad while Inviting drama in
There’s no filter for our future, no selfie for our soul
Our minds have been imprisoned but our hearts are on parole
The sky has been the limit share your art with all the globe
And I’m hoping you will listen cause there’s time for us to grow
[Hook]
[Bridge: D. Ciano & Delayne Nicole]
Someday come back for me
Someday someday come back for me
Someday come back for me
Someday someday come back for me baby
Someday come back for me
Someday someday come back for me
Someday come back for me
Someday someday come back for me baby
[Chorus]
