Victory's On The Other Side

Are you tired of living in the hood?
Looking around only to see this "flawless" generation getting up to no good?
Are you tired of losing?
Have you been betrayed?
Do you have bags under your eyes because you stay up too late?

Well I tell you this, I do,
I have got a lot on my plate just like you,
Do not judge what your eyes perceive,
No one wants to be judged,
Certainly not me,

Because when you look around,
What do you SEE?
Do you see love? A lot of nature? Trees?
OPEN YOUR EYES and your ears,
You need to listen, You need to hear...

I'm simply a messenger,
I am not god,
But this world is turning into an illusion that cannot be solved,
We no longer live in harmony,
That is not what I see when I look around me,

I do not want this earth to die,
She is my mother,
yours too and yet you people don't even try,

All of you lost children out there,
Stop saying "Live fast, Die young",
That is a mask, a disguise,
You're trying to hide this horrible truth,
Covered by the medias lies,

But if you do not face it,
No one else will do it for you!...

Our world is dying,
and while you're having a good time dining,
I sit up at night crying,

Because I remember when people had HOPE!
They didn't -GIVE UP- and they'd simply DEVOTE,

The air is filled with car fuels and man-made chemicals,
The trees are being chopped everyday made into money,
BUT WE LOSE!
Because those trees are our filters,
As important as our lungs,
But all you people care about is your money and your guns!!!

I want children,
And so will mine,
I want them to be able to breathe and be happy,
In a world that is fine,

Nowadays children are robots to the system,
Controlled by the media,
and placed in their positions,
Goggle eye'd to their television,
Stuck in a generation growing up too fast,
Only to find that WE are not going to LAST,

We're breathing in dirt,
Everyday,
The moon is drifting further away,

And YOU government, YES YOU,
have the gut to say,
"Why are so many kids today committing suicide" !!!!
WELL MAYBE it's because,
They believe...
Victory is on the other side.
