Yanny Or Laurel

You care about the Kardashian's and what celebrities are dating on Valentines I care about Right and Hoping for the people of Palestine I'm seeing people argue over what name they hear on a recording It doesn't matter if you hear Laurel or Yanny because it's really not important I don't know how to start this verse Seeing the state the world is in, my heart is hurt I'm seeing more heartbreaking things as each day goes by People seem to focus on so many unimportant things and I don't know why The Internet is one of the worst things to happen to this generation Talentless people getting famous for being stupid, what happened to education? Social media has turned most people into selfish souls We no longer care for real life friends or love, acting like our own destiny isn't in our control Someone tell me why Meek Mill got jailed for riding a dirt bike But an old white man got house arrest for raping a 5 Year old, tell me how that crime wasn't worth life? He's still free to attack more kids when he should have his genitals cut off I'm seeing all of this on the news and you wonder why I'm shut off Why would I believe in a system so broken? I'm English so I shouldn't care about America is what they'll say Am I wrong for believing in right and showing emotion? The heart and Love I have, I refuse to let them take away Tell me How can you walk past someone in need and not feel a thing? How can you walk past an angel who's broken and not try to heal their wings? But your on your knees praying to God when you're in need But when everything is going right, you and God don't even speak I'm not even religious, But I'm sick of living in a world of selfish hypocrites I know they'll hate me for saying a lot of this I'm focused on making it through today and anxious about what tomorrow will bring While most of the world is focused with arguing about Yanny or Laurel and important things I don't care about the Kardashian's or what couples have broke up before Valentines I don't care about Jersey Shore, I believe in hoping for the people of Palestine I don't care about arguing over a recording The whole Laurel and Yanny debate really isn't important
