We think of a paradise
And say "we want this;" but regardless,
We dispose of moral values
We stay heartless,
Like grown men want to be kids
But they got kids
That's just nonsense,
"Give a hand
to get a hand,"
We ask; but they demand,
Your voice doesn't make a stand,
Coexistence is not a plan,
This life,
Your told not to stand
Even when you think you can...

Something grand is worth more than a grand
So a dollar with three "O's" is worth less than a man,
And like,
The world is worth less than being lucratively complicit,
Man-made is worth more than naturally exquisite,
This isn't me talking anymore...
Or is it?
Old people, with old school,
Tell new school, they missed it,
Another power of leadership,
Is to take the world and risk it,
Controversy in controversy
and that is just the gist of it.
They say criminals are crooked people,
Took their lives and twisted it,
That's not the whole answer,
That's just to the wrist of it.
So,
Where's the control?
Where's the hand?
I say
"What are you planning?"
Never define anybody,
I got understanding
Along with moral values
So I can know where I'm standing.

All I'm saying is:
Morals answer questions and make decisions,
They're knowledge and life,
Coiled in composition,
They paint the darkest ink,
Staining your definition,
Keep them open wide,
They're eyes to your acquisitions.

Yo Mr. Omniscient,

This is fairly well turned out, and that's nice.
