Life

Life as we know it has always been corrupt, unjust
but life as we know it has always gave us some sense of security
young boys die and the world goes into to totally riot
he was killed by a man of another color
but when we kill ourselves it okay
I'm not taking his side I'm just saying
Life as we Know it has been corrupted and dead
Riot after Riot they never understand
nothing ever gets solved someone just winds up dead
Life as I Knew it was gone long before me
but once I climb that later to College it will just change just watch you'll see
I'm going to make a change starting with this post you see
I'm going to make a change like Obama did for me
I'm going make a change for Martin Luther King Jr.
just watch you'll see
