|
| I don’t care if you living in a high-rise
|
| You’re no different from a man in a hut
|
| Every single life is sacred in God’s eyes
|
| You ain’t worth more cause you got more stuff
|
| I don’t care what the color of your skin is
|
| I don’t care 'bout your fortune and fame
|
| I just want for us to have more perspective
|
| And understand that everybody’s pain is the same
|
| Perspective
|
| Bird’s eye view
|
| It’s beautiful up here
|
| Understand that the empathy for all others
|
| Appreciation as a have or a have-not
|
| Recognize that people’s worth is decided
|
| By the content of character, and not what they got
|
| I get upset cause it seem so hard for us
|
| When we lie to ourselves we sound so crazy
|
| We tell ourselves that they don’t work as hard as us
|
| They could be like us if they just weren’t lazy
|
| I think it’s just an excuse
|
| That allow us to treat them as less human
|
| Cause once we begin to take it as the truth
|
| It justifies all the evil things that we do to them
|
| Some people work hard and barely stray by
|
| Others work hard and end up rich
|
| It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t celebrate success
|
| But understand the systematic hurdles that exist
|

|
| It’s beautiful up here, might shed a tear

|
| Boston get’s hit by a dirty bomb
|
| Hundred people injured, three people died
|
| Rare for us but for many that’s the norm
|
| The daily threat of an attack is part of their lives
|
| I ain’t sayin' what we feel ain’t real
|
| But understand just what it means to be privileged
|
| That’s when you ignore the circumstances of those
|
| Less fortunate then you, that you don’t have to live in
