Desperate Cry For Help
Desperate Cry for Help
New cars, New houses, New Clothes Spending tons of money with the bros
Living life like a show
Living the life of luxury
Thinking all about the money
But what’s funny is that we never ask Why some of us were born rich in the USA
While others were born in impoverished countries like Zimbabwe
Where many people there struggle to earn $2 a day
While we care about the appearance of our hair
People all around the world struggle to keep their bodies from being bare
On vacations and weekends we always complain about where to go
While people are in deserts digging for fresh H2O
Some of us struggle to reach fame and obtain power
While it’s been years since someone had a fresh shower
While we go get pedicures to make our feat nice and neat
There are people killing each other just to eat

And neither did we

Did we get lucky?

And to help the needy
To give impoverished people the same opportunity
To live a life of comfort and unity
To put clothes on others backs And help them with all the areas they lack
Everyone is created equal
But our living conditions are not
Everyone deserves all the pleasures, luxuries, and opportunities that we’ve got
I hope that now you can see
That billions of people don’t have even the bare necessities
of life, a home or place to live
So it’s up to us to widen our scope, take our blinders off
and give
