Thinking Twice

I try not to let it phase me/ but The pain is amazing/ See these everyday tragedies are driving me crazy/ Like a baby in Haiti/ Forced to live daily/ With no food or water/ Hows ya steak, is it tasty?/ Hows the picture I'm painting?/ Is it making you think/ Twice, about, how ya life might not stink/ You see, there's people in this world/ Little boys and little girls/ With no shoes on their feet/ While your flaunting wit ya pearls/ And I'm not saying that to hate on anybody who is rich/ I'm just saying that so yall can think twice about the kids/ See all they really want, is a meal on their plate/ Maybe even a toy, put a smile on their face/ After that comes faith, and thats all it really takes/ Its a barrier no earthquake or hurricane could break/ So let it in your heart, let the Lord do the rest/ And I promise you will make it, no matter what the test/ No matter what your facing it'll get you through the day/ From Haiti, to New Orleans, it don't matter where you stay.
