Yea listen... I was just sitting here feeling sorry for myself and helpless Then I realized that I was just being selfish I'm a soldier, my self-centred brain is my helmet But when reality hit me I felt sick We run from our problems - there's many that are paralyzed We take life for granted - these simply never had a life We've heard it all before - some people are deaf That tramp lives in a box while I sleep in my bed Inside I'm a tortured man who hates living. But there's people being tortured in Abu Ghraib prison There's youths right now that are dying from Malaria So we can have clean running water in our area That shit there, has got me feeling ashamed If you've been through it, tell me what's the meaning of pain You went court, and they locked you away when you we're acting wild There's people in Guantanamo Bay that never had a trial Weve seen a lot - there's some that were born blind In some places hip hop can't be performed live You whopped bare chicks, you think you a heavyweight? In Africa 6000 people die from AIDS everyday And the babies there get it from their mothers, So think about that next time you fuck without a rubber It hurts but no one said the truth would be fair The world's a messed up place man, but who really cares?
