::: Pay Attention :::

I want to innovate minds with my rhymes; I wan to dig deep within
At times I don't know where to begin.
So many different circumstances and faces make me want to reach out on so many levels. It's like a need to explain why some turn in to rebels.
A lot of us didn’t get the discipline we're supposed to
So we give in to certain life styles like we are force to.
But then we lack the will and faith to act when we feel a need for a change
The outsiders don't understand so they look to us as we strange.

My peers have come to me for motivation and advice
But I did nothing more than have the will to pay the price...
For a better living... which is hard to maintain
Because it seems like all that hard work is in vain.
But the scriptures tell me all we do in his name wont be, so I keep moving...
With out looking back, but it's hard to let the past go when the wound is still fresh
It's hard to ignore the pain when it's still deep in the chest.

I'm tired of people complaining they can't make ends meet
Yet you had enough money to go to the club last week.
Why do we keep trying to teach our kids to do right but we always doing wrong
We want our sons to respect women, but mommy and daddy don't even get along.
How can you want your man to treat you like royalty when you far from a queen?
And how can a man run a kingdom when he's far from a king?
In order to be treated and viewed as such, we must first become a certain type of people, and keep making adjustments, until the view is equal.
