Society Raising

Eyes of the world, seeing is believing 
Change in society raising, new gen...
Raised between two homes, morals same 
One side, race exist to plague 
Other, living among the mist 
Two different worlds, same beings 
We grow from a child's experience 
What we taught is lead by example 
Be true to yourself as well your heart 

We learn not everything is as believed 
Love thou neighbor as you love yourself 
But yet world holds us in slavery 
Fingers pointing south but not their own 
Their own self fallen Egyptian control 
Even black man sell his own to survive 
A society raising, where rich still controls 
The people a slave to their greed 
We fight battles of evil, mankind's heart 
Like Japanese combat, to imbalance the strong 

We grow in ourselves for better or worse 
Our choice, lead by example or falling society 
Where morals and respect are just words 
Man no longer stand but against another 
We fight divided, a side to pick 
I pick my own, society raising out of control 
A world gone mad, everybody hating another 
What is mankind but society raising 
Your own fault, guess you wasn't taught no better
