Rap 3
Another five year old missing, seen it on the news
Makes me take a step back, my mind reels - i'm confused
There's a three second spot about it and then they choose
to run a ten minute news flash on Nike's newest shoes
and how your local convenience store can't sell booze
to some homeless guy who just found out he's getting sued
It's ridiculous, I picture this scene every day
Kids disappearin some one bitchin about take home pay
and everyone says the world's endin, coming up quick
a little evil in us all, its the lesser ones we try to pick
It's sick, I think about families - they used to be thick
and now most wouldn't save blood from a fatal kick
It's like the whole worlds goin under, don't feel the pain
content to go to sleep at night, wake and do it all again
and its the same damn thing, it happens over and over
sittin around just wondering if the apocalypse is closer
Everyones quick to talk shit to me about religion
makes me wonder if God gets even a chuckle, just wishin
people would pay attention more to the lifes at hand
instead of putting fruit loops on trial cause Toucan Sam
used some magic in an ad to make the colors look brighter
when a kid cries herself to sleep at night because her
moms always gone pullin that one last trick, low bid,
and dads passed out at the girlfriends, hes addicted
to the drink, hes in a slump, only qualified to pump
gas at the shell, living in hell, diggin in the local dump
with his friend from way back, dropped out the high school
cant afford a place to stay so sleeps behind the public pool
lookin for a handout, a hand up, something to leave the streets
pan handling down in indy, rejection, everyone he meets
does the same damn thing, it happens over and over
he sits around just wondering if apocalypse is closer
