I've seen worst than most,
but I'm not here to complain.
I'm writing to get rid of all the pain.
Because living this liffe is a lesson-
a lesson to not let people drown you.
Full of their drama,
a volcano of issues is ready to spew.
What's wrong with the world?
People dying.
Children crying.
I'm going to make a change.
I promise you that.
I owe it to you;
I owe it to me.
Why can't they open their eyes and see?
They've got money in mind.
Innocent people shouldn't die.
Drive-bys, murders.
Why does everyone want to hurt us?
What's up with that?
They walk around, wanting to bust a cap.
Victims of society-
we're all just waiting to be beat.
It's a matter of time before it's me.
You know it's the truth;
I don't even have to tell you.
But we can change that.
We can make the world a safer place,
where on the sidewalks, children play.
No more running from unseen dangers;
this generation is full of changers.
