Perspective |
Ten girls stapped on a collage campus |
Twenty school-kids gunned down in Sandy Hook |
A black teenager is murdered over skin color |
It feel like the chaos is everywhere you look |
Thirty afghans killed at a family wedding |
Sixty Iraki killed trying to vote |
A woman gets gang-raped down in India |
Five kids' lifes get ended by a drone |
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 |
Perspective |
Bird’s eye view |
It’s beautiful up here, might shed a tear |
A man with no shoes stands on a corner |
Sad about his circumstance of being on the street |
Then realize it weren’t that bad |
When he was joined by another man that had no feet |
A woman makes a post on facebook |
About how she and her brother got beef |
Unaware it was read by a friend of hers |
Who’s own brother passed away just last week |
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 |
Perspective |
Bird’s eye view |
It’s beautiful up here, might shed a tear |
