L.I.F.E .......(elevated verse)
Endless bars and endless rhymes after/
Still it`s like nothing else matters/
Besides the bling bling, the girls and the rides/
Behind poor emceein' is where ignorance hides/
Grown men, and women too, talk about how to keep it real/
Yet they keep adding to the ever spinning fraudulant wheel/
It spins going round and round/
Emittin a high pitched sound/
Heard by the children of today/
By it, they`re being led astray/
Why can`t we change their ways?/
Why can`t we contribute to better days?/
It`s weird how Will Smith can make millions when not givin' into the game/
And at the same time, Cash Money makes millions off their shame/
Showing to the world their lack of respect/
Their role in the community they neglect/
Teeth shinnin' in the sun as it hits the "platinum fangs"/
Lil boys rhymin' bout trivial thangs/
Can`t be viewed as men yet when they spew such nonsense/
No wonder why today`s youth are so dense/
The radio and the TV raise these kids/
They rob them of their common sense and their wits/
We must do something to change this trend/
We must be aware of the messages we send/
Copywritten and trademarked for all to hear/
That today`s media is somethin' we must fear/
Poisonin' our minds, our hearts, our souls/
Strippin' the youth of their dignity, their humility, their goals/
Elevating their minds will now be a tedious chore/
For how can you tell them that life`s about much more/
Then the glitter and the gold they see on their favorite star/
How do you teach them that they must raise the bar/
On their standards of who an idol should be/
Oh, what can we do to take away thier blindness and have them see?/
Life is about love, empathy and charity,/
Intrinsic morality, future aspirations and intigrity/
Friendship, good sportsmanship and a respectful attitude/
Elevate your mind to a new latitude.
Read the first letter of the preceeding four lines/
Then you`ll know for what a true man dies/
To yourself be true, and to others be a light/
Understand that deception, and evil always lose the fight!!
PEACE
