Looking At the World Through My Rear View Mirror

Looking at the world through my rear view mirror I'm at a different level Alone, all by myself, eyes full of tears Thinking of the friends I had to bury What has this world become? Men liking men and women liking women I know God angry, I can feel his anger Through the lighting that cracks through the sky But nobody cares; the world is so lost a lot of people are confused Don't know what to do, so they follow their instinct and end up in trouble Dear Lord please help us because it’s so many black males dying Before they reach the age of twenty I’m losing peers as if we were on a battlefield I wonder what will it take for us to change To stop the murders and let the kids grow seeing a better side of the world through my rear view mirror smiling because I'm not broke no more Nobody has to struggle no more we're all rich and making money But my dreams will never come true It will always be the opposite won't have peace instead We will still have violence, young fathers dying And don't even have a chance to raise their kids What will it take for the world to be a better place? When children can go outside and play without worrying about getting shot Parents don't have to sweat because they know that their child is safe But I guess life will teach us in a major way I will keep living my life to the fullest For I don't know when is my last day but through It all I'm still standing and proud to say that I'm still alive looking at this crazy world through my rear view mirror
