facts of life.. the tv show was less than the graphic depiction of living situations
never showing the realtion between real life and real things people are facing
depression is something that life throws in to confuse
but the drugs we distribute to beat the blues they begin to abuse
is it the world cant get enough of happiness and they've found it in perscriptions
the number one killer is aids but does the runner up even get a mention
never heard cause the majoritys words are stuck on verbs, words trends and curves
big T*****s can get you a job quickly..
but skill with a criminal record and they pass up many

babies having babies and men killing ladies
its crazy but this is the report heard daily
the world went from a loving community to survival of the fitest
cliche crews and cliques .. everyone obsessed with whos the illest
the ways of the world have changed since 87
words were weapond back then...
now gun shells put beef to an end
back and forth the world changes for sport
name brands and foreign imports
the economy is on life suppoort
im almost afraid to let my children enter a public places
cause terroriset arent just arabic.. hey come with similar and familiar faces
disgruntled americans who cant stand there living arangements
"go home fed up and return to the scene with something stainless
totally brainless
to kill kids and innocent bystanders who dont knwo your business
but still u spray bullets relentless
senseless <-- if your talking about change
hard times have people going to stores with life to cop an exchange

the home of the brave where we pave the way for foreign trades,
reaching for the stars to some means immitating rappers with escalades
getting the most out of life to some leads to greed
i justtry to gain enough to feed my seed..
while the rest stack and store just to feed there spending needs
we live life inside of a photograph sedative
making nonnessential things relative
and styles becoem repetitive
television seems to have everyones visin impaired
good advice my moms told me not to stand close or to stare
or i too would have been trapped in the evils of the cable industry
clothes money and sexual shows is all these youngsters know
no basics <-- some hardly read anymore
text was the basis for all these audio metaphors people so adore
giving the people what there askng for
supply and demand
but whos buying this B.S. in pretty containers
live and learn to find the hidden dangers

The truth is always there but it's not always easy to accept.There are man hurts in this world, but many good ones also.If we learn lessons and make something good out of it.Then it's lessons that can be taught to those who are willing to see.Well penned here.
