we’re so caught up in growing, expanding
we’re blinded by lights and the pretty branding
we’ve forgotten the cause  and the reason for being 
there’s so many problems that nobody’s seeing

the place we evolved to survive in, 
is the place we’re unconsciously fighting
the sun’s been exceedingly shining, 
unwillingly trying
to burn us alive, look around we are dying

13 thousand deaths in 2015
children, seniors, and everyone in between
maybe if we took matters into our hands we could something more than just apply sunscreen


Global warming. Everyone knows it
They all oppose it
But we need to do more than just suppose it
Will go away

It's here to stay
If we do nothing, it will not be okay
Things will not get better
It will not  matter

Who’s president, or resident
Who’s relevant , American

We’ll be gone like the elephants

Yeah, 100 of them die each day 
got poachers enjoying their holiday
but since it’s all happening so far away
we forget about it as if it was yesterday

we see it on our social, though
we get emotional
for a second or two,
but then we’re on something new

but giving likes on Facebook doesn’t help the poor 
doesn’t help the kids in Kenya who are looking for more
than a life of farming

you see them on tv, you think they’re sweet and charming
but you don’t find it alarming 

how is that charming?
Don’t you see them starving?

And yet they’re smiling

Cause money can’t buy happiness, you’ve heard that before
We got food and homes and we’re still asking for more
We got people on tv judging what Kanye wore
we forget 22 kids just died because of the war

yeah

Their school in Syria got shot
And here we feeling down because of what our neighbor’s got

Their school in Syria got shot 
And here we feeling down because of what our neighbors got

We’ll complain we missed out on black Friday deals
500 hundred thousand people in the states  without homes and meals,
pushing their homes on wheels , pushing their kids on wheels
How black do you think their life fricking feels?

Speaking of black, there’s so much hate towards black
Racism never left so don’t say that it’s back
Last year,229 murders, white on black
2 thousand 3 hundred 80, black on black

500 murders, black on white,
but more than 25 hundred were white on white
this goes beyond race sometimes, 
it's just not right
this goes beyond race sometimes, 
it's just not right

so much gossip on your timeline
we forgot what it’s like to see real news on primetime
you don’t need to be Einstein
to open your eyes and see that what’s been implied by

tv and the internet 
is nothing but indirect
meant to misdirect 

your attention, hinder your intellect 

do something now before it’s too late
our attention span went from 12 seconds to 8
too much digital use, we need to stimulate

our minds, our bodies
don’t just work, get hobbies
be humans, not zombies
be humans, not zombies

“think outside the box”, I know you’ve heard that before
they say:“Go to college”, that “it will  open new doors”,
but it’ll do nothing for you unless you put in the work
or else you’ll get a diploma, but it’ll be for decor 

speaking of college, 
speaking of knowledge
more of these high school kids
are not going to college

high school graduations have been going up
for the past few years , hope it doesn’t stop
but over 30 percent of them choose not to hop
straight into college, that has to drop

At the end of the day, we do what we do
but once in awhile we should renew
our vision on the world, our point of view
and maybe one day, it will all be good
thank you
