no peaceful solution anymore<br />Whole countries are destroyed by war.<br />Like the conflicts in the Middle East<br />Bullets and Rockets made whole families deceased.<br />All we know is how to attack<br />We label terrorist on the country that reacts.<br />Its not fair that day after day<br />People are tortured in Guantanimo Bay<br /><br />All people care about is that they get paid<br />When people in Africa are dying of AIDS.<br />Stop whinin and try to find a cure<br />Meanwhile clear up the genocide in Darfur.<br />Look how our country fell<br />Cuz of 8 years of Presidental hell.<br />Most of us are full of anger and hate<br />Unaware of the choas we create.<br />Why can't world just chill<br />Peace is an option of free

Tupac : Before Death Row (Beautiful Verses)Keep Ya Head Up<br /><br />Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice<br />I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots<br />I give a holler to my sisters on welfare<br />Tupac cares, and don't nobody else care<br />And uhh, I know they like to beat ya down a lot<br />When you come around the block brothas clown a lot<br />But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up<br />Forgive but don't forget, girl keep your head up<br />And when he tells you you ain't nuttin don't believe him<br />And if he can't learn to love you you should leave him<br />Cause sista you don't need him<br />And I ain't tryin to gas ya up, I just call em how I see em<br />You know it makes me unhappy (what's that)<br />When brothas make babies, and leave a young mother to be a pappy<br />And since we all came from a woman<br />Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman<br />I wonder why we take from our women<br />Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?<br />I think it's time to kill for our women<br />Time to heal our women, be real to our women<br />And if we don't we'll have a race of babies<br />That will hate the ladies, that make the babies<br />And since a man can't make one<br />He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one<br />So will the real men get up<br />I know you're fed up ladies, but keep your head up<br /><br />"Changes"<br /><br />[1]<br />Come on come on<br />I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself<br />is life worth living should I blast myself?<br />I'm

makin' changes<br />learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers<br />and that's how it's supposed to be<br />How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?<br />I'd love to go back to when we played as kids<br />but things changed, and that's the way it is<br /><br />[Bridge w/ changing ad libs]<br />Come on come on<br />That's just the way it is<br />Things'll never be the

L. Vijalanti)(Prophet)<br />I hate holdin' dollar bills<br />Becoming fearful and gettin' chills.<br />Seems more money people acquire<br />Amplifies desires and turns people into killers and liars.<br />Dependence can cause stealin' <br />Holdin' heat and drug dealin'.<br />Addiction causes envy and hate<br />Causes suicidal thoughts people contemplate.<br /><br />(L. Vijalanti)<br />People fiend for riches like addicts need they fixes. They plant the route of evil, watch it grow in the youth. Lie's seem more appealing they never show you the truth. Lack of funding feeds my stress. No amount of money in the world could reverse the grim reapers dept. Cause blood money has it's own price, in the city of sin, scumbags and lowlifes. Ask me... ya'll sold your soul for a low price. Hunger pains twist persona's from potential scholars to heat holders. Got millions in your account, but your morally bankrupt, go from mansions to handcuffs, handcuffs to prison yards shanked up. Exchanging souls for dividends keeps funeral homes in business. Deep inside you, feel the hate grow, dreams crushed and shredded like play doe... War and misery kept Mr. Bush on the payroll. Blackwater mercenaries, hired to murder for fun. Life is cheap, death is always has a market if you're willing to serve up the funds.<br />Take lives for a fast mill... robbed and murdered ask any victim if cash kills.<br /><br />(Prophet)<br />Cash kills everything except my mind<br />It will bring us to the apocalypse of all mankind.<br />Money brings us into a depression<br />The reason where in a recession.<br />Money destroyed the USA <br />So listen to what i say.<br />Money kills<br />Take a lighter and burn your bills.Shiorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12525630009564563686noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061500547549701124.post-20363553578959629692009-02-07T17:51:00.000-08:002009-03-27T21:32:32.728-07:00December Of Sorrow ft.
