Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Classification and organization is ruining the minds of our generation
I said it
That’s why they’re always spraying up in the sky, they had a new design today
But they're on their phone and I'm on a roll
And I do not care cause I am the oldest one
Up in my mind, but not in real time
I'm just a... teenager
But I feel angrier than a swarm of hornets
They call us whores but it's just because
We do just what we want and don't look back once
Is that what it's come to? No, no
My parents are 1 and 2, and I am their child
I am 3, I am the wild
I am free
We are the children that sing the ancient song
And we can sing it very well
But there's still so much to learn
There's still so much to earn
But I yearn

Who am I scared
Who cut us open
Tiyawn

[Verse 2]
Organization and classification is ruining the hearts of our generation
I said it
But actually, True told me that
True made the map
True took us to the forest to the top of the mountain
You might also likeIt's true, it's true, it's true
He told me to get on the mic and spit what's in my lung
I tried to say, I tried to tell him
"Boy, I don't do that, I don't do the things that you do"
But then he looked at me and said, "You do, you do"
[?] got face too, went into my room at night
They tried to talk about who
And I'm like, "Let me sleep"
But they just wake me up
They just try to tell me the things I know already
In my cerebral capacity
But it's locked, why can't I get in?
Maybe I should ask Finn, maybe I should ask Jake
Maybe we go to a lake that I found
Maybe we go right now
And it's snowing but it's warm outside
Write a letter on the beach at night
Go to bed and then I see those lights
I see those lights, I see their eyes
Staring back at me, telling me about the symmetry
Telling me about atomic structure
The way she loves her, the way
The ocean rolls around and 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
And the Taurus goes around and down
And down and down and down and down, it never stops
Never rock
I call it crystal, now you call it rock
I'm in the spot
You don't want to walk around on the hot coals of self-acceptance
Man I get you, MSFTS here to rep yah
We'll do this together
[Outro]
Organization and classification is ruining the souls of our generation
We said it
And the kids know very well
And the kids will dig the well
Deep inside of their third eye and get all the messages inside

If you're looking for a powerful and thought-provoking song that speaks to the struggles of this generation with society's constraints, look no further than Willow Smith's debut album ARDIPITHECUS. The opening track, "Organization & Classification," sets the tone for the entire album with its hauntingly relatable message.

About Organization & Classification

The song expresses the frustration and anger felt by many young people in today's society. Willow tackles the issue of society's obsession with labels and the negative effects it has on individuality and creativity. She hits straight at the root of the problem, suggesting that society's tendency to put people in a box only serves to stifle their potential and ultimately prevents real growth and progress.

Willow's lyrics are incredibly powerful, with lines like "Trying to bring us down, tryna make us watch the throne / But we can't sit there forever, we gotta make our own" and "Don't put me down, don't box me in / I don't wanna be fixed, I'm not broken," that speak directly to the feelings of many young people who feel trapped and misunderstood.

The song features a haunting and atmospheric melody that complements the lyrics perfectly. Willow's ethereal vocals add a sense of urgency and passion to the track, driving home the message and creating an emotional connection with the listener.

One of the most impressive aspects of this song is Willow's ability to take a complex issue and distill it down into a simple, catchy, and memorable tune. The lyrics are easy to sing along to and the melody will stick with you long after the song is over.

Willow's message is clear: she wants to inspire people to break free from the limitations that society tries to impose and to embrace their individuality and creativity. The song is a call-to-arms for those who refuse to be boxed in and who are determined to carve out their own path in life, no matter what obstacles may come their way.

In short, "Organization & Classification" is a truly remarkable song and a testament to Willow Smith's talent and insight. It's a must-listen for anyone who feels weighed down by society's expectations and yearns for a world in which individuality and creativity is celebrated and encouraged.
