CHANGE


We all have the power to make a change,

For ME.....it's the power to change PERCEPTION

I know this seems kind of strange

but this wolr dif full of DECEPTION.

WE are NOT HONEST with one another

WE LIE, CHEAT and STEAL to get OUR WAY.

WE will GO to EXTREMES to hurt our brother

if it means we get paid at the end of the day.

 

I WANT to CHANGE this....

 

Now money, fame and power-it's all there

but in different forms, IT comes to DESTORY.

 How much more can THIS GENERATION bear?

When will we catch DECEPTION'S PLOY?

 

I WANT to CHANGE 2014's perception.

 

 

TEENS STEAL for fortune,

BULLY for fame,

BREAK HEARTS for power.

Is it really worth it?

 

This is what I WANT to CHANGE

 

FORTUNE will be EDUCATION,

FAME will come from DIGNITY,

POWER will be measured by WHAT YOU BE.

 

ENOUGH of these LIES,

MANY have DIED at deception's hand.

TODAY is our day to TAKE a STAND.

 

PEOPLE one and all, big and small

YOU can MAKE this CHANGE.

It's ok to BE STRANGE,

just come TOGETHER.

 

We al have the power to MAKE a CHANGE!
