Life's a running mile so we chase it on a road leading nowhere
sometimes protected,.. Most times bare
we crave to be better than the best, flyer than the rest
but in reality,... We just push ourselves to the test
minds pacing on nights we do drive byes'
some just do it to be cool but aint bold enough to tell ah lie
this world is spinning so fast that noone stops to think about that baby that was just born
or that woman who was just scorned
like burned,... Not by disease but by fire
cause her man came in the house pissed and tired
or that woman that was just beaten in the alley of that corner store market
or that man by showing he was gay became the streets target
everyone so full of themselves they cant see the truth
pride so high,..... Its about to top the roof
I bleed speed pulling triggas of love to spread to the world
but sometimes,.... I feel smaller than a squirrel
poisons drain from my body call it oxygen
evil thoughts acted out call em mocks of sin
poor little child sitting alone in her room
feeling nothing but doom
2 year old child just fell from a window
while her mothers drugged up and passed out on a pillow
cover on the infants face, suffering, crying for help but no ones around
parents left for a second just to watch that man get beat down
those famous people look so happy but no one bothers to ask them how they really feel
so they express their pain through poetry and music
but the fans choose to take it in and use it
mostly in the way they compute it
but die trying to use it on something stupid
some just listen cause they like that beat
others choose to play it when they feel nothing but defeat
so many faces walk the crowd they all want to be leaders
propane tanks on a broken ship that will lead to eather
weapons i wear to protect myself
but how did we get this way? We really need help
starving children and people all over this earth
and we have all this material s*** but what is it really worth
cause when we die,... We dont keep it. We cant wear it
we just rock the same old s*** we woke up in
so naked so bare so near so there
amidst this lake lyes broken bones and shedded tears
i believe i can fly? No i believe we can try
to put in that effort to be the worlds piece of divide
so that one day when our spirits collide
we can all rest in peace knowing through each and every person we survived!!!!!!
