A better man than me
If I could
I would burn it all down
With a truth that sparks a flame
That burns the world to the ground
Let that flame burn with a heat
Of a word so relentless
We don't respect a damn thing
Yet we expect to be respected
This place is infected
With champagne wishes and caviar dreams
Shorty's who want to be thugs
And give no thought to being kings or queens
And it's obscene
I mean
Even if they manage to silence your scream
It shouldn't stop a militant mind
Willing to die for a dream
We should stand up on our feet
And pump our fist to the sky
And scream " bring all that you can bring"
"We were never scared to die"
Our souls should burn with revolution
You should see it in our eyes
It should help us see past the hypocrisy and the lies
But I realize
That we ain't dreaming
We running through this world
Without a damn thing to believe in
Then I take a look at the images we're receiving
Is it really any wonder that our kids are not achieving
What do you believe in
I've seen the dreams of great men
And feel we share the same vision
To open up eyes
And free minds that are Imprisoned
To not conform to the norm
And forever challenge the system
And not just accept what the f**k
You've been given
So how you living
I'm trying to live my life to the best of me
So I can never stop fighting
Until I fulfill my fathers destiny
Never lose faith in my God
For I know he's only testing me
Forged through the fires of this world
Is how he brings about the best in me
It's all a lesson see
So I keep my self together
And don't lose sight of the plan
And never lose focus
On exactly who I am
Keep an open mind
And try to understand
So I can show my son
How to be a better man
Or at least a better man
Then I am
