Whatever It Takes

Lord forgive me of my sins 
It just feels like i always lose, never win 
Satin weighing in on my shoulders again and again 
Day after day, what the hell do I have to do to fit in 
Life and love over money, not according to them 
Mind full of hate and greed, the devil filling me up with his syringe 
I need your help, my sistrens and brethrens 
Well, today is where all hatred and jealousy and worries in the world ends 
Lord, you need fellow messengers for the world for all the messages that you send 
So we as poets listen and give our peers the lessons that you seek 
But please listen to me as i speak 
We can't do this alone, we are the last of our dying breed 
So please, give us the message to others to say out loud how they feel and what they need 
Because at this rate, we as the people are starting to give up, we're forcing our selves to bleed 
What I'm saying is, poetry is unexplainable, these words and expressions give us lesson and a sign of relief 
Poetry gives us a voice and the power to speak 
So when they tell me to raise your weapons high, I raise mines even higher 
Because my words are my weapons, spit poetry like bullets, so I look,aim,and fire 
So lord, at the end of my life, I can't wait for you to open the gates 
I just want what's best for my fellow people, put it all at stake 
So when i say poetry is a savior, hear me as i say 
When you have that motive as a poet, you'll do whatever it takes
