Unanswered Questions

My passion has changed 
I remember basing my life solely off of 
The so called Christ 
Oh how I was hoodwinked into thinking 
God was the one who sanctioned 
my people's extinction 
New to the conscious movement 
My passion is to move my people 
The way they are subconsciously moved 
By the agenda of the elite, it's bittersweet 
We have passion but we're about the wrong things 
We have no idea that we can raise ourselves 
Outta this war we're in 
We're the lions in the den 
We want it to end but the question 
I asked myself is do we know Where to begin 
We treat our friends like foes 
While our foes are wolves in sheep's clothes 

My passion lies in the unity of my people 
But it seems so far away 
like I'm looking outta peep hole 
We realize how deadly the poison is
And some of us knowingly has 
passed that on to our kids 
We've got so use to dying daily 
I wonder do we even care to live
