[00:01.65]I realize for something great I was created
[00:05.11]Music's my life and for a long time I have waited
[00:09.84]To break free, and live the life that I can see
[00:14.38]As my dream comes to life, just fighting to be me
[00:18.45]I believe in something greater then self
[00:20.30]I believe, there's more to livin' life then tryin' to get wealth
[00:22.56]More to life, then simply working hard to only get by
[00:24.85]More to death, then what we think when every one of us dies
[00:27.18]There's more around then we can see, not caught by the eye
[00:29.57]See, I might have started walking but I was born to fly
[00:31.77]World it might have clipped my wings, but that don't mean I won't try
[00:34.18]My feet, they may be on the ground, but my heads in the sky
[00:36.40]Gotta dream in my heart, and a gleam in my eye
[00:38.70]Dropping beats from my birth, till the day that I die
[00:41.02]And though life is hard, I always keep my face to the sky
[00:43.27]Looking up to heaven knowing everything will be fine
[00:45.68]I've made up my mind, my life is decided
[00:47.81]I write the words and in me music's simply provided
[00:49.92]I'd like to take the credit but I know that I'm guided
[00:52.30]Now every track blows up, like if two trains have collided
[00:54.42]You know,
[00:55.34]I wasn't simply created, to live a life under-rated
[00:57.04]To trip and fall in the system, to live a life full of hatred
[00:59.06]To blindly agree pay all your dues
[01:01.78]Man you better be careful, cause there's a whole lot to lose
[01:03.37]The world an evil place and man it's easy to use it
[01:05.98]That why half the time I stay low and I keep on my music
[01:08.15]But like everything else, I'm careful not to abuse it
[01:10.55]So that I'm not caught in the hype, give up my love, of worse, lose it, and now
[01:13.76]I realize for something great I was created
[01:18.25]Music's my life and for a long time I have waited
[01:22.87]To break free, and live the life that I can see
[01:27.32]As my dreams come to life, just fighting to be me
[01:31.49]It can be tough but I am always moving on
[01:36.27]And with each step you'll find me moving with my song
[01:41.00]And I know one day I'll open up my eyes
[01:45.60]And then my time will come, you'll see me start rise
[01:49.51]It's time to take music back
[01:50.75]Take it back to when the lyrics had some meaning
[01:53.21]Not continual demeaning
[01:54.08]Time to set it back on track
[01:55.45]But every time I try to rise again I find I'm up under an attack
[01:58.64]People crying out because they want something fresh
[02:00.94]But the music is dead, girls just show flesh
[02:03.45]I want something with meaning so I'll rise and protest
[02:05.59]I fed up living life with all the things I detest
[02:07.83]And now everybody's fake
[02:08.94]Almost no one real
[02:10.19]And I don't even care about a signed record deal
[02:12.15]Livin' lies so large man it's almost unreal
[02:14.43]I tell it like it is, it's just the way I feel
[02:16.96]And now young kids give it up, throw their lives away
[02:19.15]All because they listen to the stupid things we say
[02:21.37]But then they grow up, and they learn, and they pray
[02:23.81]And rehabilitation costs a billion a day
[02:25.83]I'm tired of hearing that I cannot be free
[02:28.08]I'm tired of hearing that I shouldn't even want to be me
[02:30.33]People still are having problems with the colour of my skin
[02:32.69]Hey but I'm OK, I take it on the chin
[02:34.93]Man this is life, some things are messed up
[02:37.31]My glass is half full, some don't even have a cup
[02:39.55]Every day I thank God, as I run through this race
[02:41.86]And do something with my life, before I leave this place, now
[02:45.18]I realize for something great I was created
[02:49.54]Music's my life and for a long time I have waited
[02:53.96]To break free, and live the life that I can see
[02:58.51]As my dreams come to life, just fighting to be me
[03:02.88]It can be tough but I am always moving on
[03:07.77]And with each step you'll find me moving with my song
[03:12.26]And I know one day I'll open up my eyes
[03:16.78]And then my time will come, you'll see me start rise
[03:21.28]Political correctness is the way of the day
[03:23.13]But I'm not afraid, so let me say
[03:25.53]The problem isn't us, the problem is you
[03:27.84]Stop blaming other people and look at the things you do
[03:30.08]Too bad I can't sing about happy days, birds and butterflies
[03:32.28]Cause every 10 seconds someone else in the world dies
[03:34.86]Sufferings everywhere but most of us just close our eyes
[03:37.22]And nothing changes anywhere, man, big surprise
[03:39.37]I've been fed up for way too long to avoid this rant
[03:41.73]It's not that I don't want to cool down, I simply can't
[03:44.02]The end is coming soon, but hardly anyone believes
[03:46.38]Cause half of us don't care, and the other half's deceived
[03:48.22]The key to life is love and that comes from up above
[03:50.54]Wake up sleeping world, cause push has now come to shove
[03:52.76]Not another generation of lazy, complacent whining
[03:55.09]Sitting back relaxing while the state of mans declining
[03:56.82]
