Video Tape It

They say pictures are worth a thousand words. So does that make a video worth a million? Actually living in the moment does that make each word a billion?

Through the 2000s every thing was televised for all
In NYC witnessed Twin Towers fall, a tragedy in the making became big in history

G.W. Bush was head of state when down south N.O. we saw the levies break, Katrina was furious putting her people to death, some even considered refugees because the government couldn't handle what the disatser left

What about in '08 when Barack Obama became in charge of a nation in which he would protect his country put on the stand

Only a year later did we loss Micheal Jackson, King of Pop, that was real music influenced by hip hop

Reality shows in the 2010s were Americas favorite Kourtney, Khloe, and Kim, spotlight center as we saw their whole life all on screen real life

And now days you don't have to be married to be a basketball wife
Just make sure you have the Brazilian hair and silicon booty, promise you'll be good for life

We watched it all unfold as the television read our thougts and depicted our reactions
So in tuned but do we really know what happened?
When the cameras are off is it still considered "reality"?
They say history repeats itself
But in all actuality life wouldn't be the same if the cameras in ya face
So live in the moment there's more pages to be opened
