Now this here's a story


Now this here's a story all about how Our lives got flipped turned upside down And I'd like to take a second for you all to hear About how it got so messed up through the years First off we started wrong, Adam and Eve Ate from the tree thinking God wouldn't see Little did they know God sees everything Yeah he punished them..but he still let them breathe So many years later But recently in fact We came up with some haters The twin towers were attacked We found out it was Al Qaeda And we thought that it was jacked So we used it as a reason to go invade Iraq Old wars showed taking lives and wasting money So why are we doing this? This questions pretty funny So far so poor There is no glee After every war There's poverty Because of poverty theres homelessness People hungry poor and sick Looking for soup kitchens And all around the world There are financial needs Aren't you too tired of these injustices But this is nothin Compared to Uganda Where the children walk at night And sleep in verandahs Fearing for their lives All day and night Running from the LRA Do you think that this is right? Recently there's been so many things That have been going around our world unseen Society always tries to hide it But doing that man, it wont solve shhh So when its like you're slipping in your thinking And your slacking in your thanking Look up to God and say a prayer about what's happening
