[Verse 1]
I always thought that we grew up
Relatively the same
Same block, same schools, same teachers, same rules
Some even shared the same name
[Verse 2]
And when it came to the bad guys
We knew the wrong from the right
In the movies, on the street, a bully politician cheat
We knew them all on sight
[Bridge]
The funny thing is, we all say to ourselves
I'm not the one who changed
I'm not dyed blue, dyed red, brainwashed, spoon-fed
Morally rearranged
[Verse 3]
Once upon a time the truth was black and white
As far as we all knew
But now the truth ain't black and white
It's black and blue
