Bottom Thoughts

(Verse 1) The streets are in shambles Here's an example Life isn't always sunny In the land of milk & honey There's people dying the streets Rappers dying over beefs And I'm dying just to reach A comfortable status in life Can't take all of the strife Corrupt politicians got everybody wishin' For a spell from a magician To fix all the wrongs in the world Yesterday a man touched a little girl She was only 11 She always prays to Heaven Maybe God will listen since no one else seems to Not her classmates or her mother that's a fiend who Is never in the state of mind to even take care of herself She doesn't know how to make it like everyone else She had a messed up past too She lived with her mom and she had a dad who Was never there for her She always had dreams of airports Some sort of escape But the escape that she chose left her with nothing on her plate Except the cocaine that she scrapes While her daughter is being raped While my classmates debate About rates from 1 to 10 I just look inside my pen And write to mend The mind that bends The restrictions placed before me No more contradictions, I've erased the forgery (Verse 2) The world is in shambles Here's an example I was sitting at my desk and Paying no attention To the teacher's lesson Because I'm stressin' About a situation Within another nation There's kids with guns That kill for fun Or perhaps they were asked to Or they had to Adolescents with weapons .44s & 47s That's Ninety one dog tags Under the shining sun, body bags A smiling son with a frag Can't hear the cries from his dad Nor his mother or his brother Not even from his sister Because a sinister mister Distanced her from him And him from her Her dreams deferred They're screams unheard He cocks and aims But feels no pain (Verse 3) This country's in shambles Here's an example Land of the free & the home of the brave But why can't you see that it's all just fake Justice my ass Can't puff on my grass Casey Anthony is free Troy Davis is dead This shit makes no sense to me I mean it boggles my head Lady Liberty needs glasses This country's filled with fascists I say we rally the masses I'll only pledge allegiance To leaders that lead us to true freedom Protests on Wall Street I say that we all meet Obama said "Yes WE Can" So that means WE stand One man can't make all the change You're looking at me strange But supporting just a campaign Isn't enough People say Obama and slander the man's name Man isn't he tough I mean isn't life rough But we can make it better Right here, right now If we stand together And fix this sick a twisted system forever
