Mindset
I guess it was the moon
The gravitational pull came too soon
I felt like the world was doomed
Everyone in a chaotic state
The mind state of the apes
Not even then the animal within
Could be tamed
Vices of the charts
Violence off the walls
I stare at people in disbelief
How could you be so naive
How could you be so weak
You do not stand up to anyone
Generations before me stood up to no one
Now we have to run into brick walls
Before we see our country fall
How could we be this way
How were we raised
When your mindset seems to come from dirt
I guess cause that's were we came from , dirt
Money is the anthem but do you even know our anthem?
How could you be proud to be free
When you don't even know how we were freed?
But are we really free because
I see us all on our knees
Bowing in defeat
Because the generations before us couldn't speak
Fear is your poison
Lies always feeds the need
They cunfuse themselves with faith and hope
From the poison they drink
But how could you change the mindset of some one who has been drugged
Makes me burn inside
Because all I see around me is lack of communication
Lack of love
I rather be on the other side
Of the astral plane
Because anything seems better than this reality I claim
I want to see change
So you speak but do no change
Because of the poison called fear
Open your mind, let it be clear
Ignorance is bliss
The mind set of the Kings
