A Better Future


 

..A Better Future..

A better future to me

Is to change the things in life that people don't see.

Like poor people standing on the corner

Beggin for change with no shoes on their feet.

Or infants getting killed without the chance to see

The chance to speak

Or even seeing how their lives would be.

See I'm a changer so watch me as I change some things

Arrange some things

Organize back and reframe some things.

It’s lots of things on this earth that need to be changed

So me talking about one thing would be a shame.

Gang baggin on the streets

Political parties changing seats

Police gunned down in the street

Prostitutes walking the streets

See change is not a must but it’s up to you and me

If people don't change what changes would we see

Kidnappers and child molesters  

Get these people off the streets

Also robbers and thieves

killers on killing sprees

Drug dealers sellin D

If they don't change what changes would we see

See me I know change can happen

All these people tryna follow

Need to be the captains

See change is the game and we can make it happen

So get amped up and make some changes happen.
