Living The Lyrics

Why must TRUE music be pushed aside
so that Boy Bands might be heard
Why must i realize that by shaving your head
ANYONE can get attention
Why must an entire generation be lost
so that the next on can shoot down and
fuck up
EVERYTHING that the last one salvaged
Why cant i ask you "21 Question"
to find out why your such a LIAR
why can't you "Pop, Lock, and Drop" to tell ME why
i cant snitch
to save someones life
to save someones health
To stop ANOTHER family from being torn apart
Why cant you "Superman That Hoe" into empowerment
or are you too busy butchering childhood heroes into cheap tired repetitive dances, so that an already procrastinating race has another
Distraction from Enlightenment
How does it feel to know that you promote drugs over education,
That you inspire violence in your nation
That lil RayRay got shot because someone was too busy
Living the Lyrics
to realize what the were actually doing
That Courtney's sad and heartbroken because apparently
apparently she was just a "bobblehead"
is it cool that you promote every statistic that society so fears
that brings your generation down
why can anyone go back to "Standing Up 4 Love"
Why is everyone "Runnin' To Live"
Yet dying to fight
why is the carnage caused by living the lyrics being overlooked while people are dancing to belligerent bullshit such as "Chicken Noodle Soup" and worrying about how they're "Lipgloss" is poppin
while my best friends uncle is in jail because he wanted to be a "Duffel Bag Boy"
Lil mamma what DO YOU know about me
You should know that i miss having sunshine in my cloudy day
I miss when it was a bad thing that "Papa Was A Rolling Stone"
and not a sign of manhood
I miss not being to proud to beg
"Because You Know I Love You"
I miss "Rollin on the River" not worrying i i have money because the people on the river are happy to give
I miss trying a little tenderness
i miss "Sittin On The Dock of the Bay" thinking about the
"Stormy Blues"
i miss being "Hopeful" for today
Why cant we go back to having "The Victory" or
wanting to go to "Heaven" or watching "His Eye is on The Sparrow"
Oh it will be a "Happy Day" when the current trend of violence, procrastination, and prejudice is out of stly and we can go back to "Lookin at the Man in the Mirror"
"It Doesn't Matter If You Black Or White"
You still "Ain't Nothing But a Hound Dog" until you realize the cycle of bipolar emotions and tormented pain that you go through.
"It's Too Late To Apologize"
you have to "Wake Up And Pay Attention"
"Listen" to what your Listening to
Follow what your Heart says
