All those who won't get to see tomorrow
Things are so out of control that we don't even feel sorrow!
TV turned on, witnessing the evil that men do
I look at Africa treated like a child, being told he wasn't welcome anymore
Beaten and bastardized that's how my continent is portrayed
How can we just stand and watch as another mother loses a son
I keep writing about pain and suffering but do these words still mean anything
Screaming my heart out while this page remains inanimate like a dead body
Regardless of my intentions to bring these lines to life with emotions
A moment of defiance to reclaim what seems to be innocence
Do not speak of nonsense when you know that this verse moved your soul!
Your mind body and soul in exchange for the light that I provide
Yet you still envy what my people own and make
Or worse you despise yourself and those around you
Not knowing you would be given all you desire and much more
If only you understood the concept of respect!
Unable to distinguish what's right from what's wrong
You claim to have a clear vision of things
Idiot! The lens through which you see the world is inappropriate
It will never allow you to see and appreciate the truth
Close your eyes and open your mind to this lyrical gospel
So that all of God's creatures may manifest their true beauty
And for once you'll be able to see the world as it is instead of how it might be...
