(poems go here)

I write to inform you as the world comforms you

they flaunt the flashy cars and diamond rings

but they dont tell you what they do to get these things

used to sell the American Dream

Now they sellin the fast life

Live Fast Die Young and find value in materialism

henny in the red cup and herbs in the wrap

Go on pour up Drank since thats all you hear

but  its not your fault

Because the T.V's mold you

as the media controls you

from what you wear to what you believe

I write to heal, bless, and prosper

I write to inform you as the world confroms you
