Get you thinking (revised rap version)
I just want to get you thinking,
Especially if it's in your head that your shit isn't stinking,
You probably don't realize society is sinking,
So Don't get offended I'm just trying to get you thinking.
Sometimes life brings happiness and Sometimes life brings pain,
But It's not supposed to be a roller coaster or a hurricane,
Just take a moment to appreciate the rain,
So please abstain from calling me a stain,
even though you think I'm stained,
When You Claimed to have a brain even though you've got no thoughts to claim,
I'm not trying to diss your lane,
But being conformist is kinda lame,
So From the height of an airplane,
I'll drop some knowledge on your frame,
You gotta break free from the shackles of society,
If you're going to see what you need to see to be what you want to be,
Or you could be like the rest and just mull around in the pit,
Fermenting in your own dead idealist bullshit,
Cause what's the sense in good intentions if you can't do it?
Why don't we stop talking good and do what we intended?
Social problems don't multiply they actually get extended,
I see a lot of racism,
manipulation,
And Extortion,
Stop waiting for the cataclysm,
End the stipulation,
And get an abortion,
I don't mean kill the babies I mean abort the hate,
And try to wipe clean the slate,
Cause our world is being crushed under OUR weight,
You can say you've got too much on your plate,
But I don't like the fact that politicians decide our fate,
This government makes me want to become my own state,
What ever happened to "of the people, by the people, for the people"?
You're kind of fucking up our planet and you won't get forgiveness from me so you better go to the steeple,
No I don't want anarchy and no I'm not trying to preach,
But I remember what I was taught so I'm just trying to teach,
They say each earns what we get but who is this "each"?
I see the 1 percent and I see the 99,
You've made some money and that's fine,
But who are you to try to take mine?
Money isn't the root of all evil don't you know the line?
1 Timothy 6:10 the LOVE of money is the root of all kinds of evil,
So your gluttonous greed is what leaves our world so sapped and feeble!
Or maybe it's us and our neglect,
And our massive lack of respect,
This is getting out of hand,
this is getting out of check,
My words could get me banned,
But we need to introspect,
Take a look inside yourself cause we all need some change,
So while my words might not have much range,
Hopefully they'll get you thinking which is much needed in this day and age.
I'm just trying to get you thinking,
Especially if it's in your head that your shit isn't stinking,
You probably don't realize society is sinking,
So Don't get offended I'm just trying to get you thinking.
You can't look with just your eyes,
If you're going to Recognize the compromise,
that government uses to Symbolize simple lies,
placating the masses to prevent our rise,
Yeah Our first black president was a milestone,
Supposed to be a symbol of how much we've grown,
But in those two terms not much love was shown,
I mean I didn't expect him to fix our nation but it's not like we made it easy,
now our main options are a liar and a trust fund baby doesn't that seem sleazy?
While racial tensions arent getting better they're actually getting worse,
I just want to know how many more officers guns are going to burst?
How many more innocents need to ride in the Hearst?
Before the people on top learn not to put themselves first?!
How many more cities need to protest?
Before we see lethal force isn't best,
And Why is this war being put on broadcast?
Murder sprees on tv have paranoia growing fast,
I probably won't live to see the day that it says "peace at last!"
But that's no excuse not to learn from our past,
I'm even putting myself on blast,
Cause we can all do better,
Go on and be a go getter,
A metaphysical landlord not a sub-letter,
Open your mind and leave it unfettered,
Cause some of you will say "You can't say that when you're white",
I'm good people you're good people so why fight?
It seems like every new tragedy is our darkest night,
then humanity reaches a new low so the fire can re-ignite,
But When Hate and fear make a fire the intensity isn't slight,
It's a fire but it isn't bright,
It gives off no warmth no light,
makes everyone uptight,
And we start Pointing fingers just to spite,
Yet y'all stay huddled around it like it's all alright,
Fueled by twisted passion not by the Blight,
But If we're to put an end to this plight,
We need to step back cause the end is in sight,
We need to love back with all of our might,
And We need to do it together if we are to do it right.
Especially if it's in your head that your shit isn't stinking,
You probably don't realize society is sinking,
So Don't get offended I'm just trying to get you thinking.
