Every day i turn on the TV watching all the violence | |
so many dying, another moment of silence | |
we gotta change this, not rearrange this | |
or wish i’ll forever remain nameless | |
are we brainless, we fly aimless | |
with no direction, no police protection | |
here’s my suggestion: kill the egos | |
then hold the benefits, we can reap those | |
if you have a dream you can easily reach that | |
be who you want, never stop and look back | |
champions win, losers just complain | |
don’t be a spectator you gotta play the game | |
but if you play the game you gotta change the game | |
extraordinary, never remain the same | |
nobody said life was going to be easy | |
but i’m living proof ya’ll please believe me | |
oh i wish there was a place that i could find | |
to shield you from the pain | |
that you will see | |
in this lifetime | |
for now, just close your eyes | |
oh i wish there was a place that i could find | |
to shield you from the pain | |
that you will see | |
in this lifetime | |
for now, just close your eyes | |
it’s like i’m on one knee and asking lord to save us | |
and give thanks for all the things you gave us | |
and turn around and go and rob our neighbor | |
and don’t that sound just so outrageous | |
man we so misdirected | |
having sex unprotected | |
so we spend 24 hours a day on blackberries | |
cuz we feel so disconnected | |
now check it | |
we buy the latest kicks | |
but cant keep our phone on | |
and rock sean johns sleeping on the futon | |
mercedes benz but still living in projects | |
we got toilets but we still piss on our steps | |
man, i can’t begin to explain what types of thoughts running through our brains | |
mercedes getting hard to maintain | |
then we let go and pump poison into our veins, it’s insane | |
i wish there was a place i could fly | |
where the world didnt need to cry | |
so now we just look to the sky | |
hoping now we make it | |
we only get one chance, hoping now we take it | |
