Intro 00:51
Verse: Hello world Michael Machado is the name Merely here to explain What the following contains A perspective of this thing we call life Presented from an unbiased approach Different to that of most Mentalities you’ve had the opportunity To listen to and quote With hope in that your thought would be provoked No longer will your expectations fall to disappointment of a fold When holding of material devoid Of substance Initially created for my daughter Then I thought I ought to have the world take a listen Most of you will agree this is exactly what we’re missing Innovative approach combined with knowledge and the wisdom So sit back and envision how applying what is said can correlate to self building Universal appeal to both the elder and the children Of every nationality within an ear’s listen Giving you what we’re living.

Religion 02:31
1st Verse: What is the purpose of religion when it causes division? Another form of separatism The past defines a time of death and submission Attributed to literature Presented as the source of our existence So which of them are factual? And in this modern day practical So pardon as I ask of you Does it seem a little radical? That people still relate and embrace a religion as fact When in reality it’s strictly of faith Tension now arrives as the people now despise each other And it generates anger and hate But go ahead and smile underneath it’s quite foul Positivity the decoy burying debate A lack of understanding of the seriousness of matter and History begins to gain its own strength 2nd Verse: What is the purpose of religion when it hurts us as society We still don’t know the meaning of life Yet we continue to subject our own beliefs upon each other Disrespecting our entitlement and right To formulate our own opinion with the vision of a lack of persecution By the masses despite The differences in the manner which we choose to revolve our own existence In this thing we call life Lot of opinions But not a sure answer Demanding to push your rhetoric as the standard? Failing to examine the overall affect on the humans Residing on the many different lands and Taking different stands in regards to the teaching they embrace Correlating to their own understanding “We hold the truth” type of thinking will continue To neglect the whole world from a fortified banding 3rd Verse: What is the purpose of religion when we haven’t even mastered What we know to be the truth and exists? Like how the earth remains the vital source of life to organisms A position that we cannot dismiss But yet we look up to the sky for the answers When the surface can enhance our understanding to which We believe in ourselves as human beings not Relying on assuming how we came to exist We need to come together Put it on the table Scratch the notions and the reaching so that possibly we’re able to unite And push the fables out the way Creating stable types of conversation Based upon the world instead of just a nation Operation: Sit down, Let’s talk, Rise Up Strive to find the answers all together regardless of Upbringing Places of birth Revolve our lives around fact Let’s start upon this planet called Earth.

Self Respect 03:32
1st Verse: We should all strive To respect ourselves We have one life Protect your health We need peace of mind Forget the wealth Cause if you can’t Then who should Respect you or your lifestyle Being or your profile Look into a mirror see clearer Crack a big smile Love everything about you Never doubt a thing about the presence that you maintain And everything you are No choices in the matter of your overall physical Biologic reflection of your parents is the minimal Focus on your inner glow Take it to the pinnacle No matter how you live some people always seem to ridicule Could it be they don’t respect themselves? So they try to bring you down as well You have to stand tall defend your belt And tell the negative to get some help Cause nobody can love you like you love yourself Strong frame of mind and positivity the wealth of an individual Deflecting criticism rather miniscule Whether of the mind or physical 2nd Verse: We should all strive To respect ourselves We have one life Protect your health We need peace of mind Forget the wealth Cause if you can’t Then who should Respect your own physical embodiment When many forms of toxins circulate throughout our modern day environment Alcoholic Narcotic No logic required to consume although a caveat remains until this day Substance abuse on the loose Leading to numerous defects While we’re living in mute As we continue to neglect our own health and the truth Of the negative effects upon ourselves and the proof Of the circumstantial handling and managing of drugs within our body structure Intoxication celebrated as a part of culture? Focused on the shallow and the battering of physicals today Without a care of whether not we see tomorrow The sorrow and the cries of the lives we affect Remains a pure indication of a lack of respect In effect To the gratefulness of breathing every breath Unchecked We’re solidifying suffering and death 3rd Verse: We should all strive To respect ourselves We have one life Protect your health We need peace of mind Forget the wealth Cause if you can’t Then who should Respect the position that you maintain When to the top a lot of people pushing trying to gain the same thing Backstabbing Crab within a barrel steady grabbing This is happening throughout the world in many different fashions What will you do to achieve? Play a position where your goal is to trick and deceive? Or be the victim of the wicked while you’re aiming to please? When we should all just play a part that falls somewhere in between Without the need of Manipulating others to acquire higher status Or submissive type behavior with the hope of climbing ladders When the truth is you could carry your position in a manner That’s considered fair and balanced while achieving greater status No compromising Rise above the petty and be ready to embrace the challenges Throughout the world presented steady on a daily basis Careful when you’re chasing and embracing the pursuit Of higher status keeping self respect adjacent We should all strive To respect ourselves We have one life Protect your health We need peace of mind Forget the wealth Cause if you can’t Then who should Respect.

1st Verse: Yeah anything you want me to do I should do it Regardless if I’m with it or not There’s nothing to it Cause who am I to set up a goal And then pursue it if you clearly hold the key to my life And how to use it Abusing the influence you have When you manipulate the dreams, try to alter the path Of individuals susceptible to anything asked Informing people that their dreams are clearly out of their grasp It won’t last If we cast the deception Outlast the perception That few contain the answer bringing massive oppression Our mind is our weapon and the time is of essence No longer can we afford to try second guessing Our lives and our presence as we strive for acceptance Although some will continue with a lack of discretion Make the choice of what you want to do in life Before somebody else decides leaving a lasting impression 2nd Verse: There we go Put it in the air so we can inhale it Make the choice for everyone to have lung failure Why even have a care in the world Of the health among its citizens regardless of their innocence That’s right We have to die of something Why not of deadly chemical consumption The world revolves around you And the negative effects that you present we need to get through Forget about the people who revolt but suffer needlessly attributed to second hand smoke The choking and displeasure that’s embedded on the face of individuals disgusted as you violate space What a disgrace The decision that you make To negate consideration for the masses replaced With egocentric acts that attack our space and continue to destroy the health of every single race 3rd Verse: Exactly Talk to me anyway you’d like to Despise who You know I’ll still like you No matter what we go through Belittling is nothing if you talk to me insightful Might I recommend approaching me with spiteful Vocabulary with a little hint of trifle Mannerism I can’t imagine living in world where you respect me and you treat me like I’m vital And then we wonder why confrontations occur Rooted from communication negative and absurd Causing relationships to never have a chance to mature Not realizing implication from the power of words While creating situations we would never prefer Which potentially results in ending life in a blur Respect in all our conversations Reduces probability that we result to confrontation.

Money 03:57
1st Verse: Money Won’t make you But could definitely break you You think it’s all good when you pose and front ‘til somebody removes you of the things you flaunt Your mind is on your money as your life goes by Then people in your life begin to leave your side What’s it worth Life comes first and not the Prestige in the name of money Nose in the air Fair-weather type fortunate to be a millionaire Don’t matter if you’re royalty You’re nothing but the heir to acknowledgement of others and we really don’t care Respect is in order regardless of the status of another human being When the principle that matters is your role in society Positive or negative Not the ranking of a person’s surplus or deficit Putting too much emphasis On the money and position that it represents Recognize the differences The love that’s presented to the wealthiest Remains a matter of trust Should question if it’s genuine The sentiment that financial success demands a prevalent position in the world remains a detriment When respect should be presented whether living on the street among the homeless or you’re serving as a president 2nd Verse: Money Won’t make you But could definitely break you You think it’s all good when you pose and front ‘til somebody removes you of the things you flaunt Your mind is on your money as your life goes by Then people in your life begin to leave your side What’s it worth Life comes first and not the Materials acquired in pursuit of self worth Walking the earth Expensive items celebrated first The purchasing of fine things With intention to bring Attention to yourself disregarding who you’re spiting Not aware of all the danger you’re inviting You’re shining while individuals devising And formulating plans to remove you of your glam and your glitz And other valuables defining Your perception of success through possession of goods Wanting acknowledgement of wealth but you’re misunderstood While the unfortunate consider all your acts to be vain With the thought of nothing to lose but something to gain All the same You’re hunted and considered the game Strictly based upon the value that you put in a name The flashing of your acquisitions To the unfortunate could put you in a dangerous position 3rd Verse: Money Won’t make you But could definitely break you You think it’s all good when you pose and front ‘til somebody removes you of the things you flaunt Your mind is on your money as your life goes by Then people in your life begin to leave your side What’s it worth Life comes first and not the Mentality revolved around money coming first Putting in work Neglecting all relationships of worth The tunnel vision approach The focusing and hope of acquiring a fortune with the fear of going broke Companionship a joke As you never realize In the eyes of your confidants your mind is on remote Location as you’re steady chasing cash with a passion The last thing you question, are your people going to fold Around you Push them to the side and the pride of the strongest individual will slide and you’ll find That the closest to you looking to confide in another Your life is a clutter and the money is the prize The dollar signs permeate your eyes to the root Despise in the people that you fail to salute Putting money in your life over the people you confide in Is something that you always should refute Money Won’t make you But could definitely break you You think it’s all good when you pose and front ‘til somebody removes you of the things you flaunt Your mind is on your money as your life goes by Then people in your life begin to leave your side What’s it worth Life comes first and not the…

Humans 03:17
1st Verse: Highly evolved organisms Scouring the planet Ripping through everything Bringing much damage Altering the surface Moving through life without a care or a purpose Warnings remain worthless Modifying elements killing the air quality Explore without a limit Contaminating the property Of every single sector of the planet Secluded or inhabited Threatening the natural establishment Punishment Courtesy of natural disasters The faster the growth of the disease the more drastic The planet then reacts then disseminates a thrashing Hurricanes, earthquakes, tidal waves, massive Eradication of the human race Displaced with a false sense of entitlement Living out of place The planet will remain whether humans still exist As we’re digging our graves and there’s nothing else to blame 1st Transition: Observe as the virus suppresses and unnecessarily terminates all other forms of organisms throughout the planet in a vicious and thoughtless manner. 2nd Verse: Predatory behavior We savor the kill Spill blood without a notion Exploring the will To traverse other’s territory Slaughtering and capture the name of the story Dedicated to forcing Our fellow inhabitants Into a state of fear from the terror as a savage Disregarding the life of the wild and the damaging Effects on the ecologic system and the panicking Humans are of the hazardous Proportion Recklessly killing for the game Same food is of abundance So there’s nothing to be gained Disrespecting other’s territory Then we get maimed Now revenge is of the order and the wild is to be blamed? Tranquilizing for capture It’s only but a few Entertainment is the purpose Enslaved for the view The time may arrive when we become the inferior What are we to do when we are no longer superior? 2nd Transition: And if the altering and destruction of Earth and all other forms of organisms is not enough, the virus has now become airborne and threatens the universe as it exists 3rd Verse: Unsatisfied with the place we reside To the sky we decide To rely and defy The precedented laws of gravity In search of What exactly Conquering the galaxy Looking for other life forms? Searching for entities When right among our planet the mystery so plenty Without a sense of exploration Lives they seem empty To pioneer a new way of life is quite tempting But what about the fact that departing of the atmospheric barrier’s reliant on an oxygen craft Constructed from the same elements that we abandon on the planet while we’re occupied with blazing a path Despite of our infatuation To create a nation in the outer space embracing our source of life’s mass No matter what we try On the Earth we’ll rely Disrespecting our superior We might as well die.

Education 04:42
1st Verse: Brainwashing the youth To fall in line Enslaving the minds of the youth is a crime Families encourage degrees for occupations Passion is abandoned How do we replace it Forcing us to master a trade Rebellion discouraged When forced upon the path which they lay Promotion of a thinker is a must The life of all humanity will suffer if our minds we can’t trust The spirit of the youth rather amazing when examined Creativity abundant when they’re free from all the planning And the slamming of their mentals with excessive programming Defined but from a few regarded educators regulating Subject matter not pertaining every child but rather Their perspective of society and history they glamour As they capture the imaginations Bind them up and gag them Forcing children down a path of institution and illusion While assuming children’s inspiration’s rooted from curriculum Regurgitated teaching no concern of how we’re losing them When all the while the children of the world remain the victim of Biasness created by experience suppressing all the curious inquisitive Naturally inventive presence normally associated With the lives of innocent Children to the point that all the feelings that are naturally instilled in them Are harnessed breaking passion and their willingness to grow 2nd Verse: Brainwashing the youth To fall in line Enslaving the minds of the youth is a crime Families encourage degrees for occupations Passion is abandoned How do we replace it Forcing us to master a trade Rebellion discouraged When forced upon the path which they lay Promotion of a thinker is a must The life of all humanity will suffer if our minds we can’t trust For many of us coming up in life we’ve been persuaded Told acquiring degrees will be the only way we make it That success is guaranteed with the pursuit of education Conventional experience should never be replaced And this is true to an extent If our passion is related Not if pushed in this direction based on family that made it Generations of professionals Family engraving Guilty consciousness established leaving little to debate As they negate our signs of interest They ask us if our passion correlates to any business Even when they’re presented with a plan they will dismiss it As far as they’re concerned our life’s encompassed of a wish list Lacking of any wisdom But what about our vision given all of us are granted only one life to live with Living life in remorse because of outside decisions Influenced by the passion that some have for their position Showing little resistance 3rd Verse: Brainwashing the youth To fall in line Enslaving the minds of the youth is a crime Families encourage degrees for occupations Passion is abandoned How do we replace it Forcing us to master a trade Rebellion discouraged When forced upon the path which they lay Promotion of a thinker is a must The life of all humanity will suffer if our minds we can’t trust Actually we’re naturally susceptible as humans Cruising mentally an entity revolved around assuming If the masses all agree then who are we to try disputing The flow of information when presented in relation To a fact whether intact or if it’s lies we’re all embracing With the challenge overwhelming so much easier to please them So we ease into a state of comfort Run away from reason Confrontation overbearing to the weary with the fear of Retribution from the masses The act of standing tall is more effective than our masking All of the true feelings we have thoroughly examined And know to be of fact rather than speculated grandeur Shouldn’t we take a stand and Demand our privilege Living for what is right and circumventing all the ignorance Given the circumstance of a retaliation imminent Courage under the harshest of conditions never fearing them Stand in a state of diligence Brainwashing the youth To fall in line Enslaving the minds of the youth is a crime Families encourage degrees for occupations Passion is abandoned How do we replace it Forcing us to master a trade Rebellion discouraged When forced upon the path which they lay Promotion of a thinker is a must The life of all humanity will suffer if our minds we can’t trust.

1st Verse: So you think it’s okay to assault a female when you’re naturally stronger than her And she should stay ‘til she winds up in a box could’ve avoided any death to occur Children exposed to this violent type behavior when they’re grown these are actions preferred And now the cycle will continue in this manner ‘til we all find it a cause of concern It is a fact that the average strength of men versus women fall in different zones Testosterone levels plus the average muscle mass developed in the process of growth Creates a separation naturally that puts men in position physically to impose Our stronger build over women to avoid a confrontation that could violently blow So why do men default to assaulting of a woman when enraged if it’s easy to go And leave the situation, gain a sense of clarity and realize we’re losing control When will we realize we’ll never be respected in society for fighting with those Of the opposite of sex we need to put ourselves in check and deal with anger not affecting the whole 2nd Verse: So you think it’s okay to assault a female when you’re naturally stronger than her And she should stay ‘til she winds up in a box could’ve avoided any death to occur Children exposed to this violent type behavior when they’re grown these are actions preferred And now the cycle will continue in this manner ‘til we all find it a cause of concern You love him so and you’ll never let him go and you’re with him from beginning to end He never beat you to the point you ever felt he didn’t love you and he wanted to spend An entire life completely dedicated to your health and well being as your lover and friend So when your family and friends inquire how did you acquire all the bruises then you try to pretend It’s the result of overstepping all his boundaries and pushing him right over the edge But anyway he let me know he still adored me and he showed me when we got in the bed Thinking this revelation should distract the minds of all the women in your life you’re misled Cause in the back of all their minds they hope there never comes a time when they will find you and you’re already dead 3rd Verse: So you think it’s okay to assault a female when you’re naturally stronger than her And she should stay ‘til she winds up in a box could’ve avoided any death to occur Children exposed to this violent type behavior when they’re grown these are actions preferred And now the cycle will continue in this manner ‘til we all find it a cause of concern Then there’s the children sitting crying in their rooms terrified by the violence in play Listening to all the fighting and commotion with the hope that it’ll all go away And when it ends they see the blood from confrontation but their thankful everyone is okay This is a common type occurrence witnessed all throughout their life it seems like everyday So now they’re grown raising a family of their own trying hard to make sure love is displayed Then negativity as always finds its way into their life and from love they will stray Reverting back to how their parents dealt with anger thinking violence is the primary way And now the cycle will continue as the children hold positions parents already played So you think it’s okay to assault a female when you’re naturally stronger than her And she should stay ‘til she winds up in a box could’ve avoided any death to occur Children exposed to this violent type behavior when they’re grown these are actions preferred And now the cycle will continue in this manner ‘til we all find it a cause of concern.

Politics 02:38
1st Verse: Politicians Can you tell us what you’re up to? Enough to Convince us that you’re genuine and trustful Concerned about the issues that affect us universally Instead of issues made to benefit a sole entity Corruption at it’s finest Continuing your normal operations while expecting us to turn a blind eye and Pardon your manipulation of the power granted on behalf of the people Oh yes, The People! That asks of nothing more than you to treat us as your equal To implement our plans and stay away from all deceitful Agendas, pretending to embrace our best interests Resistance Is what you will experience If you continue slighting our intelligence Taking us for granted disrespecting our relevance Cause you can be of past rather than future or the present tense Be grateful of appointment of positions that you represent Notice to those of government 2nd Verse: Upper management What’s going through your mind? Why is it time after time you have to cross that thin line? From being a professional Doing what is right To circumventing all procedures showing biasness despite The fact that all your actions are of obvious relations Inappropriate behavior shown to workers that you favor Morale is now affected as the tension in the workplace rather thick Among employees who are feeling disrespected They slave for your entity Give you what they have All they ask is that you treat them fair and honest and the path to progress In the entity address only staff That’s qualified to take on the positions and the tasks that’s Considered as rewards to those who honestly deserve them Not those who only benefit from personal discussions that you have Excluding all accomplishments of past Your biasness is evident It’s negative and surely not to last 3rd Verse: World media Why take a position? Are you scared that if you speak of only truth no one will listen? Persistent in promotion of the entity that draws the most interest And parallel’s your personal conviction Anything considered of the opposite you target to expose You persecute and label opposition Opinions should be strictly entertainment not presented to impose It’s obvious you care of no division The purpose of your occupation should be presentation of the relevant Issues universally we’re facing Instead you choose to speak in the subliminal Borderline of bigotry attracting many people with a hatred For anything discussed that opposes all the values and the trust Established with your followers created That share the same agenda you presented with a bias as a whole Created for protection of your ratings.

Marriage 04:08
1st Verse: Why is there a level of fantasy? That revolves around a marriage like it’s meant to be A natural attraction to many A total contradiction to the term of matrimony The laws that are in place provide a level of convenience Exclusive rights are granted to the full assets You thought you knew them well before the wedding And now you find yourself in a position you’re regretting So you’re thinking of committing to the one you love Cause everything is perfect and you can’t think of Another person worthy of the honor To spend their life united with you holding to the promise That you will love each other while agreeing to exclusiveness Attraction to another would be foolish when The state of being married should erase it Forget about your natural observation in relation To humans and behavior correlating to the way we think Suppressing of emotions told to be discreet So why is it a wonder when we choose to cheat When held to standards challenging our prime instinct If marriage is a path we choose to travel down Then honesty’s the key in which the truth is found That even though we choose to be together Attraction to variety is natural forever 2nd Verse: Why is there a level of fantasy? That revolves around a marriage like it’s meant to be A natural attraction to many A total contradiction to the term of matrimony The laws that are in place provide a level of convenience Exclusive rights are granted to the full assets You thought you knew them well before the wedding And now you find yourself in a position you’re regretting No admiration for the mental or the physical Attraction solely focused on the principal Success attributed to finances The thought of sharing property is simply outstanding So now you’re on a mission to align yourself and stake a claim With motives clearly centered on financial gain It’s time to put the proper plan in motion Seducing them entirely with fraudulent emotion And now it is a hook, line, and sinker as you’ve made your catch Convincing them you all would be a perfect match So why don’t we just make it all official Within a court of law so it will never be an issue And once this is accomplished then you gradually begin to change They notice that your presentation’s not the same So now they wonder who is it to blame When in reality they are the victim of a game 3rd Verse: Why is there a level of fantasy? That revolves around a marriage like it’s meant to be A natural attraction to many A total contradiction to the term of matrimony The laws that are in place provide a level of convenience Exclusive rights are granted to the full assets You thought you knew them well before the wedding And now you find yourself in a position you’re regretting So they were everything you wanted when you first met them They fully qualified as both a lover and friend A confidant in which you could depend A person you could see embracing to the very end And now that you are married in a sudden they begin to change The person once desired clearly not the same And what you once envisioned of a spouse You start to realize that this is not what they’re about But even if they were it wouldn’t guarantee a life of joy When naturally we change and we cannot avoid The change in how we feel for one another And this is why they say marriage is work unlike no other So now you must decide if you’ll continue, try to work it out As long as you acknowledge what it’s all about We’re naturally subjected to change So is it worth your sanity for you to maintain Why is there a level of fantasy? That revolves around a marriage like it’s meant to be A natural attraction to many A total contradiction to the term of matrimony The laws that are in place provide a level of convenience Exclusive rights are granted to the full assets You thought you knew them well before the wedding And now you find yourself in a position you’re regretting.

Family 04:30
1st Verse: Cause it’s a family affair don’t mean you always should care Especially when they’re negative leaving you in despair Parents competing with children acting like one of their peers Simply rejecting the fact that they’re the reason they’re here And when the parents are old demand their children to share All of their time and their money because they’re thinking it’s fair As they provided you life it’s only right you should care Regardless whether or not they raised you and they were there So we’re related by blood so by default we should love Taught from the very beginning to never place one above The structure rooted from birth placing your family first Embrace the good and the bad never to question the worth Because regardless the matter or situation occurred Family will always be there your problems never deferred And when it’s all said and done family is solely the one That will protect you from all encounters surely to come But is this always the truth? Does family always come through? And if your answer is yes you need to show us the proof You see it time after time portray to be by your side You put in all of your trust they stab you right in the spine Whether you’re blood or you’re not people will naturally plot And if it’s family it’s worse considered all that you got You tend to put up with more absorb their negative ways When this is counterproductive and we continue to pay 2nd Verse: Cause it’s a family affair don’t mean you always should care Especially when they’re negative leaving you in despair Parents competing with children acting like one of their peers Simply rejecting the fact that they’re the reason they’re here And when the parents are old demand their children to share All of their time and their money because they’re thinking it’s fair As they provided you life it’s only right you should care Regardless whether or not they raised you and they were there We bring a child in the world whether we meant it to be Children in need of our nurture dependent naturally And this remains through their youth attentiveness is the key We as their parents provide but you continue to see Parents competing with children over affection and love Expecting children to give to go beyond and above To make them feel of importance demand emotion and praise But when the effort is short parents confused and enraged Why are we losing perspective of the relations we have Children did not make the choice to be alive or to ask For their particular parents ones who will love them to death But we expect this of children illogic thought at its best All we can do as a parent give children all that we have And if it’s love they return we should be grateful and glad But even if they reject it never acknowledge our effort Know that we gave it our best to make their life for the better 3rd Verse: Cause it’s a family affair don’t mean you always should care Especially when they’re negative leaving you in despair Parents competing with children acting like one of their peers Simply rejecting the fact that they’re the reason they’re here And when the parents are old demand their children to share All of their time and their money because they’re thinking it’s fair As they provided you life it’s only right you should care Regardless whether or not they raised you and they were there Parents are elder in age living the rest of their days Reflecting life and the moments that will define them in ways In which entitlement surfaces and reality strays Thinking the world is indebted children specific should pay Make sure they’re living in comfort no matter what it will take Whether distributing money or the providing of space Presenting children with problems in which they never should face Parents took care of the children so there should be no debate But hold up, wait just a second why don’t we cut to the chase Parents suppose to provide for all the children they make So why expect in return for children somehow to take Their time and money exclusively and devote to their sake Especially if they’re children who act as parents as well They’re now responsible for children so why should they fail If children show no support to parents elder in age They have the right to this choice no matter what people say Cause it’s a family affair don’t mean you always should care Especially when they’re negative leaving you in despair Parents competing with children acting like one of their peers Simply rejecting the fact that they’re the reason they’re here And when the parents are old demand their children to share All of their time and their money because they’re thinking it’s fair As they provided you life it’s only right you should care Regardless whether or not they raised you and they were there

1st Verse: As adults we are responsible for everything we do Acknowledgement of choices surely helps to get through The positive and negative All that we experience How is it the idea of fate is even relevant? Everything that happens for a reason isn’t fate Experience is rooted from the choices we make And even the examples clearly challenging this thought We can attribute those in fact to probability and luck Why is it that some of us resort to pass blame Embracing of excuses as a way to explain How we’re not accountable Victimized and ridiculed The world is out to get us and there’s nothing we could ever do Looking for a sympathetic ear to take note Convincing them we’re helpless and devoid of any hope Just starving for some empathy Clearly someone has to see We’re living life as positive as anyone could ever be Even if we’re positive we simply can’t ignore The choices that we make in our lives and furthermore The consequence and repercussion Placing this in all discussion Helping us with solving our problems and then overcoming Trials and tribulations that we all succumb to Embrace accountability for everything we do So even in the negative Clarity is evident Dealing with our problems as they are is for the betterment 2nd Verse: As adults we are responsible for everything we do Acknowledgement of choices surely helps to get through The positive and negative All that we experience How is it the idea of fate is even relevant? Everything that happens for a reason isn’t fate Experience is rooted from the choices we make And even the examples clearly challenging this thought We can attribute those in fact to probability and luck How is it we’re all a part of predetermined lives? With all of our experiences earlier compiled Devised by unknown entities Everything is meant to be Regardless of our actions can’t divert from our destiny Practically we’re never in control of what we do Just living for the moment with the hopes of getting through Cause anything is worth believing Mentally default to thinking Everything that happens to us happens to us for a reason Is the reason fate when no criteria exist? To measure what it’s worth and we can easily dismiss The things that aren’t factual Here and of the actual Mentally we’re reaching to avoid being accountable All the while the reason has to do with our choice Results of all our actions we initiate devoid Of passive lives and ways of thinking Always leads to us believing Fate and not our choices are the root of everything of reason 3rd Verse: As adults we are responsible for everything we do Acknowledgement of choices surely helps to get through The positive and negative All that we experience How is it the idea of fate is even relevant? Everything that happens for a reason isn’t fate Experience is rooted from the choices we make And even the examples clearly challenging this thought We can attribute those in fact to probability and luck You’re not a firm believer in the choices we make There’s no way our choices clearly override our fate How is this explainable if choices aren’t available? Without a choice there’s nothing that our fate could be related to Very few occasions you would have a valid point But even those occasions are attributed to luck From choices that are made from others Having an effect upon us Now we must examine the results and how to overcome them Putting us directly back to choice and what it’s worth Regardless if we make them they could help or they could hurt Decisions as we all can see Increase our probability To counter any unforeseen events occurring suddenly Still we are entirely consumed with having fate And never take the time to realize or to relate The choices that we normally make Easily could correlate Explaining why the idea of fate we should eliminate As adults we are responsible for everything we do Acknowledgement of choices surely helps to get through The positive and negative All that we experience How is it the idea of fate is even relevant? Everything that happens for a reason isn’t fate Experience is rooted from the choices we make And even the examples clearly challenging this thought We can attribute those in fact to probability and luck.

1st Verse: Racism Homophobia Ageism In control of us All a detriment to society So many of us won’t see equality Settled in our ignorant ways With no accountability What’s the probability? Worldwide that we’ll ever see the day That humanity’s united in a positive way I can’t stand you Rather despise you You’re incapable of everything that I do The mentality of people when they’re lied to When the ignorant preceding us decide to Manipulate and classify a people While expressing they will never be of equal And treat them as inferior The world is better off with the creation of a barrier So what about the knowledge and the proof? Of the ability for all to reproduce No matter our ethnicity Genetically we’re equal and can procreate collectively Nothing wrong with an attraction of the same kind You’re entitled to this choice but at the same time With ourselves we should be honest Define whether or not we have a preference or a bias 2nd Verse: Racism Homophobia Ageism In control of us All a detriment to society So many of us won’t see equality Settled in our ignorant ways With no accountability What’s the probability? Worldwide that we’ll ever see the day That humanity’s united in a positive way So you’re the expert Of all relations You determine what is love and where to place it Only opposite of sex should be embraced and Nothing else could be of natural engagement Subliminal promotion of a hatred Of homosexuals without a strong basis Regurgitating ignorant statements While ignoring disrespect within the placement Cause everyone loves to be ridiculed Tormented, mistreated, outcast, called a fool All the while subjected to the evil and the most rude Individuals with a conscious that is so cruel Can’t relate when you are standing in your own shoes Defining of a love as if it’s one rule Now imagine if it’s you Subjected to the ignorance they have to go through 3rd Verse: Racism Homophobia Ageism In control of us All a detriment to society So many of us won’t see equality Settled in our ignorant ways With no accountability What’s the probability? Worldwide that we’ll ever see the day That humanity’s united in a positive way The young and the old A struggle untold Of different generations in a need of control Ignoring the perspective of the other one’s role Consumed within the lives in which we stand to uphold We fail to realize in all the benefit we have Regards to one another cause we never care to ask We choose to pass judgment Never showing love when Little do we know we are of wealth to our involvement Elders need to realize Learn to compromise and understand the youth today they have to live their own lives The youth must understand that they can benefit Strictly from experience The elders in their life have compiled Until there is a mutual respect for what we represent There’ll always be a reason to divide The gap in generation will extend Our values will descend Relations as we know are compromised Racism Homophobia Ageism In control of us All a detriment to society So many of us won’t see equality Settled in our ignorant ways With no accountability What’s the probability? Worldwide that we’ll ever see the day That humanity’s united in a positive way.

Verse: Understand these are the thoughts of one man And every individual creates their own plan in effect Up to you whether you choose to accept Or find it of no value and you naturally neglect What was said on this album When honestly it’s solely your decision to acknowledge And you clearly have the power To look at what it’s worth And determine if it helps or if it hurts Your current state of living for the hour Was never to offend But to mend the confusion that we have Of the issues that appear in life’s path To challenge and to motivate Inspire and educate Bringing a perspective something new we can evaluate Only trying to demonstrate how striving in your life to be unbiased is a benefit to happiness and unity Hopefully we all can see Challenging our mental being Can make the world a better place for everyone entirely.
