"People see what they want to see"

When a person gives ear to only one side of an issue
They are not concerned about the truth
Justice is not their interest at all
It doesn’t matter if there is solid proof

People are going to believe what they want to believe
And there’s nothing no one can do to change that
Certain ones are guilty even before a trial
Bias is never concerned about the facts

We know good and well that Mike Tyson didn’t rape that girl
She certainly didn’t think he wanted to watch cartoons
Not at 2 o’clock in the morning at least
If you believe that then maybe you need some counseling yourself

Perhaps the woman wanted to play Tic-Tac-Toe
It’s possible that Tyson has supreme game-boarding skills
I guess she didn’t want to play anymore when she started to lose
When people heard the verdict they were like: “Get real!!!”

Is taking that child out of my class good for the boy
If it is then I’m all for the idea
There are better teachers around with more experience
I understand that fact completely

But if you believe what he says without talking to me
Then you are not concerned at all about the truth
That is going to hurt him in the long run
I feel justified in all that I’ve done

Get all the facts before you come to any conclusion
Doing so might save you a lot of embarrassment
There is enough injustice in the world around us
Don’t be another person who contributes
To the many inequities that take place on a daily basis
