Sometimes I get angry
Frustrated looking out
So I decide to look in just to find my soul again
I know it ain't easy
but if it was
Then best believe there's something wrong, cause best believe without the wrong the right wouldn't be as bright

So despite my issues and troubles
I still speak...for the troublesome
Troubled ones...
Who would sometimes not speak and hold their tongs if they weren't hungry
But they gotta eat so fuck shame
Fuck names
Never told
Never asked
Well why tell its just time wasted

Cause when your starving nothing else matters
Its food over matter no matter what
I speak for those who can't afford to dream even in sleep because their half awake in case someone strolls along with a reason to give
Their reason to live
Hope

We are only blessed to be a blessing I'm not tryna preach just live by example but even with that said I'm not perfect far from it
I pray my wrongs teach right and my right speaks bright but the shade is always near and its something we have all stepped in
Some more then others
I can only hope to every time step out with a stranger
A stranger by face
Friend by soul
Different goals
Different path
Same destination

Heaven

So for heavens sake don't get angry at the ones who have what you want cause what we need is to not take for granted what we got and give
Not money but words Not money but time Your time speaks words
But be swift to hear and slow to speak
Listen to their words
Feel their situations
Speak their words to foreign ears living here
To citizens living abroad
to bring change

So that one day

You care to ask

their names...
