PLEASE RATE AND POST COMMENTS, GOOD OR BAD! THANKS!

This is my first video so bear with me. I took a song that I wrote a while back to a remade 'Flipsyde' beat (ORIGINAL SONG - HAPPY BIRTHDAY). I've had a lot to get off my chest (politically) lately and where's the best place to post just about WHATEVER you want? YouTube, of course. Enjoy:

(verse 1)
I see these things happen everyday around the world;
I seen 18 year-old students (who) lost insurance;
On they birthday 'cause state policy say they unworthy;
I seen dudes get outta jail and put back in the first day;
I heard people say 'what's the worst that can happen?';
When they meet a seductress (get) sucked in by physical attraction;
The next mornin' they got AIDS;
Six months later they mother's signin' papers for organ donation transfers;
Laughter and pain, politicians establish the gain;
Controllin' the loss, upholdin' the costs, while draggin' our names;
Through the acid rain denyin' in speeches;
The reasons that we' at war while our families cryin' for PEACE;
I think the time has been reached for us to rise from our seats;
We must incline our beliefs, if we ever hope to change for the better;
If I had a dime for every problem I had, I'd be a rich man;
So why we pick the pain over pleasure and;

(hook) (x2)
Why do we hate? And why we gotta struggle?;
I been talkin' to GOD and askin' Him to help us through this trouble;
Our father who art in Heaven, why does it hurt to breathe?;
And I been wonderin' if any part of Your plan includes me and;

(verse 2)
Jesus Christ was born from the womb of a virgin mother;
And He was sent to sacrifice Himself so we wouldn't suffer;
But we submerged under the water, we added guns to the armor;
We gave abortions to mothers, we bordered off one another;
Organizations of hatred, treaties they claim are for safety;
Papers get passed everyday with laws for taxation;
The president's gamblin' money's our suffered fate;
And there's kids with perfect SATs who can't afford educations;
So tell me where's the justice in the system they' created;
Tell me where's the love in the sins that they've demonstrated;
Tell me who's above, can you even remember His name?;
Or have you lost as much faith as the people who trusted your cases?;
I don't give a damn who the next president is;
'Cause I know that deep inside me the spirit of Jesus lives;
If I had a dime for every single problem I had, I'd be a rich man;
So why you pickin' pleasure over God's hand?;

(hook) (x2)

  • Jason = rap more about jesus. GOOD STUFF

  • You have succeeded in winning over this agnostic soul. A great video, great message, doesn't matter who believes in God or who doesn't, it is a great video. Your profile was right, this is the music for those who think hip-hop is dead. Not with you around.
