If It Was Yours

If it was yours
The greedy never cares 
The care he gave 
Can't be without his evil benefit first
So bad he run a community 
Now worst he run the world 
To a doom by his steps of acts
That now is our biggest challenge 
Trying and trying all to make him
More powerful 
So he is out of human

If it was yours  
The greedy never cares 
For another 
In darkness he swing to live
So his soul remain evil 
From the temple of darkness
Right in his heart he raise 
An evil fire that we see 
All over places
So you wonder why I need 
A water as I sing this songs of freedom 

If it was yours
The greedy is so protective
Don't get it twisted 
For a killer man 
Never want to die same way 
He kills
Guess now you know why 
They protect this evil killings 
Everywhere 
they don't want any one 
With the light from nature
It been so for a very long time
It been show on our histories
What a shame it still lives now 
As he continue to pass it on and on

If it was yours 
The greedy are so fearful
He knows he is not in touch 
With nature 
Yet he don't care as he ignores
So now I ask 
How come he is so scared 
Of that right to be
In places the scars of greediness 
Is seen 
the out come like a hell
In places real life's are turn red
Real blood are turn cold white 
Yet the greedy don't care 
Cos all he destroys
All he devalue 
He profit from 
That his believes 
Hmmmmm...what ah illusion
he lack the soul of a human 
That comes natural 
He don't see yes he don't have 
The third eye 

If it was yours 
The greedy feels strong 
On The  cry's of the innocent 
The greedy feels brave 
On the lament of the less privilege 
The greedy don't see no pain of 
Another 
The greedy never worry 
How deadly his acts are 
The greedy don't know no truth
Either he is close to one 
To the greedy i ask as I wonder 
What it will be when all evil
You gave in greed comes back to 
You 
To the greedy I wonder 
All this calamity you create for 
Others 
just take a while 
See through a true heart 
If may be you still can find one
And imagine 
If it was yours
