Rebuild the world

Live for today
As we hope for tomorrow
We are truly living on borrowed times
A world full of blood shed and pain
It all just makes you want to take two shots to the brain
I phone in to God, hoping he will reach my connection
The world is so out of touch with you lord
It is truly a signal that the spirits that dwell this Earth have a bad disconnection

Kids don't even want to grab a basketball anymore
Instead they rather shoot a gun and let bullets pour
Speaking of the poor let's pour in some resources to help them get on their feet
Life is like an arrow on a bow
Once you launch it, you never know where it can go
Some people treat mental illness as if it's a joke, but sweetie this isn't some giggles or prerecorded laugh tracks
Let's be strong and come together, as if we are the cement that covers up cracks

This world don't got love for nobody at all
Kids should be able to grow up and not have the carpet that is called life pulled away from them
People should not have to go without food and wonder where the next meal will come from
Love hmmmph does that word even hold weight
I could imagine how abundant it once was, it must have weighed in pounds
Now it all seems so scarce, coming in by measly ounces

You can't even leave your house without worrying if there is a chance that you won't return
Fear that the world and everything around you could just crash and burn
The elders are not treated as the wise and precious jewels that they are
We have people who still hold people above other just off skin tone alone
The type of shit in this world is what I don't condone

Why can't we all just help each other and not hurt one another?
Why can't the sun shine everyday?
Why does the rain have to bring in a gloomy day?
Questions that seek answers are often sometimes left without them
Were we all not born here to be on our Tom Cruise and complete missions that maybe deemed impossible
The world is like a 1,000 piece puzzle
It will definitely take time to rebuild it from the lashes of the past
It starts with you and me
Let's build a world that would be great for future generations to see
