CRISIS 2.0
Getting tired, to follow your pompous pride.
Wrap mind like a wire, easy to follow, easy to divide. Social distraction, it’s a digital interjection.
Feeding the people with too much misinformation... Are you ready to fall in line?
check your information check your warning signs.
Tell them that you’re tired, to see another black life get take by police. Tired, create division, teach inequality.
Tired, of misinformation.
Tired, from one to another nation.
Tired, teaching the youth them aggression.
Tired, from one to another nation.
How long can you expect poor people to hold on?
And how long, will the crisis go on?
How long, your gonna give your rights for a wrong?
How long, can you expect some people to hold on? Social distraction, it’s a digital interjection.
Feeding the people with too much misinformation.
Are you ready, to fall in line?
Check your information check your warning signs.
Tell them that you’re tired, of world wide war and corruption.
Tired, of exchange rate for political ambitions.
Tired, actions of in humanity.
That we’re tired , of bad mind mentality.
Tired, of feeding the youth them aggression. How long, do you expect some people to hold on? How long, will this crisis go on?
How long, do you expect some people to hold on? How long, are you going to give your rights for a wrong...

RIGHTS
Rights
Hard to see right when your rights get block.
Hard to see right when your rights get a shock.
Hard to believe that we’re safe from Police, take another life no violence increase.
Bad mind, spreads like disease, keep it away from our community. Freedom, sounds like peace.
True freedom, sounds like peace.
Speak you’re right, correct your wrong,
Lift up your voice in a peaceful song.
Teach youth‘s right and how to carry on.
To the land and water we belong.
Because there will never be an end to human needs.
Let conscience breed and violence decrease.
And if people never get justice There will never no peace.
Reflect respect and human dignity.
Hard to see right when your rates get block. Hard to see right when your rights get shock.
Hard to believe that we’re safe from Police. Take another life now violence increase.
Bad mind spreads like disease.
Keep it away from our community.
And if people never get justice there will never be no peace.
Reflect respect and human dignity.
Hard to see right when your rights get block. Hard to see right when your rights get shock.

NOT A FALL
Every little stumble is not a fall, sometimes help is no place to find at all.
(Repeat) A dream it wakes to find, different reality. Sometimes hope can’t find no peace of mind, the economics of mentality.
It’s not failures in our life but the moments that we rise that will define us.
Every little stumble it’s not a fall, sometimes help is no place to find at all.
(Repeat) inactivity it’s self it is an action.
Insecurity, always seeking another’s opinion.
It’s not failures in our life but the moments that we rise that will define us.
So don’t get left behind, waiting on time.
Don’t get left behind, waiting on time.
Every little stumble is not a fall. Sometimes help is no place to find at all.
(Repeat)

OPINION
Follow bad mind get caught in bad company.
Be careful of the words you believe and the words you choose to speak.
It’s your right to speak, to choose your opinion.
And it’s your right to believe, your own advocation.
Not just words but actions, no explanation.
Free of limitation or unwanted aggression.
Follow bad mind get caught up in bad company. Follow bad mind get caught up in a bad company.
Be careful of the words you speak and the words you believe.
It’s your right to speak.
To choose your opinion. It’s your right to believe, your own advocation.
Not just words but action, no explanation.
Free of limitations or unwanted aggression.
Live by truth and right, right it will take over.
Live improper make your own disorder.
Never live your life by what some people say, choose path wise you have no place to lay your blame.
When you’re right takes a left and leaves you in a corner, in the race where you never got a Headstart.
When you’re right takes a left and leaves you in a corner, in the race where you never got a Headstart.
Speak your mind, watch your release.
Watch how you spread out your word upon the street.
Thought get plant and you know it can take over, choose thought wise if you want to live proper.
And it’s your right to speak, to choose your opinion. It’s your right to believe, your own advocation.
Not just words but actions, free of limitation.
No explanation or unwanted aggression.
Follow bad mind, get caught up in a bad company.
Careful of the words you speak and the words you believe.
Follow bad mind get caught in bad company.
Careful of the words you speak and the words you believe.

BE OF KNOWLEDGE
Borders get shut while rights they amend, worldwide panic while the numbers extend.
Protect your breath cause your life depend, trouble comes once, gonna come back again.
Better to be humble than to have to pretend, talk it makes a problem when it miss represent, create instigation of hysterical content.
Be wise where you get your information.
Sometimes better just to keep your opinion, then get caught in a reaction.
Be of knowledge and full of strength, good over evil in this Gideon again.
Be careful where you get your information from my friend, cause nuff of them
Will use you or confuse you in the end.
Be of knowledge and full of strength,
we have to fall down to rise up again.
Truth and rights been compromised,
Ain’t gonna take it no more.
Speak your truth let me live in mine, never let ambition make you see and blind.
What do you expect, when you use the Internet to vent and represent your stance. I feel your challenging my intellect.
Do you really think you’ll change the world by sitting on your ass Verbally harassing those who having something to correct. How can you react if you never took the time to check the facts, haffe learn to hold a reasoning, have to learn to hold a chat.
With no ego and no negative emotional attach, while scripture and science will do the math.
Be of knowledge and full of strength, good over evil in this Gideon again.
Be careful where you get your information from my friend, cause nuff of them
Will use you or confuse you in the end.
Be of knowledge and full of strength,
we have to fall down to rise up again.
Forward with a theory that this is not the end, put faith in to the most high to provide and to defend.
Forward with A theory that this is not the end, put faith in to the most high to provide and to defend.
Here comes another distraction, while change of rule and regulation. Creating a world wide reaction from one to another one opinion. Truth be taught, truth be denied. Truth is that most people locked up tight.
By quarantee or financial divide, stuck in an ism or a mental vice. Be wise where you get your information. Sometimes better just to keep your opinion, then get caught in a reaction.
Be of knowledge and full of strength, good over evil in this Gideon again.
Be careful where you get your information from my friend, cause nuff of them
Will use you or confuse you in the end.
Be of knowledge and full of strength,
we have to fall down to rise up again.
Forward with A theory that this is not the end, put faith in to the most high to provide and to defend.

QUESTION
Sometimes the question that you want to ask you never even get to speak.
Talk is cheap until it hits the street and touch the public feet as I would say.
How many times, we’re going to ask the question?
How many times, going to ask a question?
When will conscience and morality, become the public majority? When will toleration, be greater than ambition?
Truth over admiration.
From one to another nation.
Life it is religion.
My life, it is religion. Someday want to know, but they don’t, want to show, no sympathy. No sympathy, hey hey.
Take caution, take accountability.
Take action, choose sensibility.
Sometimes better just to hold your speech.
Sometimes people they’re just out of reach.
Sometimes people you have to check carefully.
Sometimes people get you up upon your feet.
Sometimes people them out of order.
Some never know their roots and culture.
Sometimes the question where are you want to ask, you never even get to speak.
Talk is cheap, until it touch the public feet as I would say.
How many times, we’re going to ask the question?
How many times, we’re going to ask the question?

DISTRACTION
Don’t get caught up in the web of illusion.
Don’t get caught up in the web of confusion.
Addiction to distraction, creative dissipation. Culture of seduction, fed by your attention.
Life it keeps on calling,and calling.
Won’t get far if you keep stalling, and stalling. Reality is calling, and calling.
Life it won’t just keep on waiting, waiting.
Addiction to distraction, fed by your attention.
Life keeps on calling, and calling.
Won’t get far if you keep stalling, and stalling.
Some say time is an allusion, not taking reservations, or yesterday’s instructions.
Culture of distraction, fed by your attention.
Life it keeps on calling, and calling.
Won’t get far if you keep stalling, and stalling.
Reality is calling, and calling.
Life it won’t just keep on waiting and waiting.

LONG TONGUE
It’s better to have caution, then to carry regret.
Greater than admiration, is knowledge and self respect.
Long tongue carry small deeds.
Make your problem increase, while your friends them decrease. Long tongue carry small deeds.
Make your problems them a put upon repeat.
Long tongue short term attention.
Short time mind, long term question. Long tongue of a condition, short time mind, long-term question.
It’s better to have caution, then to carry regret.
Greater than admiration, is knowledge, and self-respect.
Opinion them a come and they go long.
Hold your head up and you keep move along.
It can make you hold your head high, fill up with pride, or eyes open wide.
Opinion it’s not a source of information.
Opinion seems to create a reaction.
It’s better to have caution, then to carry regret.
Greater than admiration, is knowledge and self respect.
Long tongue carry small deeds, make your problem increase, and your friends them decrease.
Long tongue carry small deeds, make your problem them a put upon repeat.
Long tongue short term attention.
Short time mind long-term question. Long tongue of a condition, short time mind, long term question.

STILL LIVING
Time goes by, time goes by. Time goes by, I’m still living. Been behind, keep returning. I still fly, under the sun.
No goodbyes, when your time is done
I still see you, I see you when, I close my eyes. I still see you, I see you when , I close my eyes.
