(poems go herHook: Come one come all, conversate about the society Problems in my reality, alters with my morality And honestly, this is key, that it’s fucking with my sanity All these people need to open their eyes and see My words paint an image that will shed on you some clarity Traveling around town, seeing shit everyday You know what they say, same shit different day Living life the wrong way like that shit is okay Buying and selling drugs, no matter the price to pay Tryin to justify it to help put your mind at bay But you were led astray by this game that you play Thought you were the predator, you were always the prey Drugs and alcohol are your elders and its right that you obey You can never change this life on display, unless you change it today But you can’t, your mind is too far gone Can’t correct your wrongs as the sun sets to dawn And that shit is truth Some people just don’t have a fucking clue So they smoke a little bit to get away from what they knew To escape the problems of the world Run away to something new Only thing they know to do To get away from what they’ve been through Is to smoke and drink and that skews their view Crime sprees running deep No stop to the shit that corrupts the innocent and clean But it seems That so much shit is taking place around me Changing little kids for the worse They can’t be all that they can be Judgment and decision making fucked from drinks and weed Problems becoming me, the deeper it seeps This is the world that we livin in, not fit for the weak I’m just inking down thinking about problems in the society All of these thoughts just draining away my energy Problems overlooked like everything is alright Every single thing left in the dark of night But that shit aint right It just aint right Why aint it right I’ll make it right Hook: Come one come all, conversate about the society Problems in my reality, alters with my morality And honestly, this is key, that it’s fucking with my sanity All these people need to open their eyes and see My words paint an image that will shed on you some clarity Poverty, how you are getting out of hand Taking place in places inside and outside our home land Sometimes the ones that supposed to help us won’t even give a helping hand Help someone out, and that’s a damn demand War, oh how you had me for a sec Countries attacking each other to keep one another in check Sisters killin brothers Fathers killin sons Mothers killin daughters And its all said and done Everything sacrificed, the end justifies the means Nothing else matters except the enemy on their knees Blinded by victory cause that’s the only thing they see Guided by religion and other things they may need Killin one another won’t lead us to the answers that we seek So many problems are faced by our society So many things being faced by you and me You and me You and me We need to fix these problems in order to set ourselves free From these chains that are set on us by our society Hook: Come one come all, conversate about the society Problems in my reality, alters with my morality And honestly, this is key, that it’s fucking with my sanity All these people need to open their eyes and see My words paint an image that will shed on you some clarity e)
