The world today
Generations killing generations
with all this discrimation and hateration
I wonder whats going on like Marvin Gaye
and see how people kill each other everyday
Martin Luther King Jr said, "I had a dream"
now, it's not what it seems
Malcolm X said "by any means nesscary"
And a chip on your shoulder is what you carry
Rosa Parks stayed on the bus
and now we yell and cuss
so where do we go from now?
Mother killing brother instead of guiding them in life
or mothers turning to drugs and leaving children to fend for their lives
and whose suppose to care?
oh, but i forgot that word is so rare
because everyone is for themselves , all for one and none for all, and thats how it seems to today
but whose to say
government taking from the poor and giving to the rich
all we need now is a hit and miss
sending outr young men out to war
just so they wont ne in their hair anymore
girls, so into boys that they let them control their hair and their clothes
telling them whats hot and whats not
telling them whats sane and whats lame
so whose in control?
seems like no one anymore
and there is so much segraegation instead of intergration
which is something we need
but now all people worry about is being in the streets
gun toting, weed smoking, head busting is what they say
but when are we all going to realize that it shouldnt be that way
but if the ones cared stay and try to correct their ways
someone will always have something to say
test set up just so you can fail and there is no way of getting out so you cant bail
because of these test schools greatly fall
and there is no one to stand up for them at all
and if its the test that makes us fail
it seems as no one can tell
they take the smart from the underachieved
thinking they sloved the problem they seen'
but what problem have they solved if the eye is so keen
schools failing and no one is taking a stand
but your suppose to stand up for your land
but whose going to take the stand
not the ones who tough, not the thugs
not the ones walking around with the mean mugs
and you have nerve to call me crazy
everyone is
it just take others longer than the real ones who is
so dont walk around acting stank
and do think
for one second you're better than me
because you got it bad just as everyone around here you see
and if for once you go the distance
youll go somewhere
why you stare
and talk about everyone else and what less they have than you
im thinking thats not cool
because if it was you wouldnt fuss
youll help instead of trying to step on everybody
making yourself look like somebody when in reality you look like nobody
all in the same but you call me insane
but i have a brain
and im using it
playing music, writing poetry, telling stories of where i been and where im coming from
and maybe you can get some of the knowledge and think about it
and make it fit into your mind filled with nonsense you still dont understand
and plan what your next move is instead of solving problems with your fist
and listen and if you didnt you missed out
and if you did take my words with no doubt
take em use em but dont abuse em
and stop killing this generation of discrimination, hateration and contamination
of words you think is right
and stand up for the right things and fight
fight for the rights and not the wrongs
think about what i said but dont take these words to the head
I think you for listening
remember say what you feel and always remember the concept of be real
