Another song off my upcoming 2nd mixtape "One Great Journey"

Lyrics:

Listen up -- I need ya'll to open your eyes
For just a sec to see these evil snakes in disguise
Perpetually lyin' - to keep the masses in fear
So please everyone we need to open our ears
There's so much wrong with too little done to fix it
That's why the whole damn system's become so fuckin twisted
Impossible to fix? Don't buy that shit for a minute
Cause once we all wise up these dirty politics are finished
But until then, things will only get worse
And they'll keep us held down right from our childbirth
Until we're in the hearse and it'll always stay the same
'Cause the one thing that they fear is any kind of change
Except the change they get at the expense of the poor
The cash they make every time they start a new war
Dollars for tears, bribes for fear and bombs
This god-damned madness been around for too long
And so we need to stop it -- no matter what it costs us
Think of what we'll gain as well as all it's lost us
Mini-holocausts caused by nothing else but greed
At the expense of the betterment of you and me
Our whole society -- that means everybody else
They need to focus on us instead of just themselves
But that never seems to happen, it's why I'm up hear me rappin
And I wont give it up so you'll never see me tappin'
Despite laws they pass n' enact to halt the cause
Gotta keep fightin' back can't stop, wont pause
Instead move along to all the changes that we seek
Like uncorrupt elections and attempted world peace
With no dirty police, only servin' one purpose
Not protect and serve But to hold us back n' hurt us
The capitols a circus filled with gimmicks and fakes
Who exploit and rape the system to protect their place
holdin us down n' divide to halt the progress
But once we all unite ain't no way that they can stop us
From kickin' them from office I mean every single one
Their reign is almost over, better days R soon to come
Repairin' what they've done, it'll be a hard feat
But it's already begun -- we occupyin' Wall Street!
So use ya heartbeat for somethin' greater than yourselves
Like tryin' to stop unequal distribution of wealth
And givin healthcare to the ones who can't afford it
N' takin' our country back from the bastards that hoard it!
And if we're all for it than they don't even stand a chance
Our numbers'd be too great for them to halt the advance
Of the overwhelming mass that only want what is owed:
A chance to get ahead, some non-crumbling roads
To believe what we're told by our leaders when they say it
A media who'll calls em on their shit when they spray it
No more time we can't delay it -- that's why you hear me
Give my all to "D.C. State of Mind, part three"
Openin my mouth with the hope to help you see
That our leaders don't care about either you or me
Completely filled with greed; all they care about is cash
Both of the parties: Republicans and' Democrats
Two sides one coin -- both rats, both snakes
Draggin our country down both a fuckin' disgrace
Can't erase the past but can damn sure use the present
So they can't abuse their power, fix mistakes and prevent
Them from playin' their games, cause our futures not a joke
Gotta take an active role, no more talkin' no more hope
I don't mean with soap but it's time we clean the house
I mean kicking every goddamn career politician out
Proven past a doubt with more time there's more corruption
And I think it's about time we had a government that functions
So it's more than a hunch when I say we need some change
But not the type Obama says when he campaigns
Warpin' his supporters just so he could try to earn
His first four years, repeat it for a new term
But what's really changed, nothin much that's a fact
Jobless rates still high, economy still collapsed
Corporate cats still too fat cuz they feastin' off our plate
Stealin' what is ours, we don't even get a taste
They've already had their fill so the Dream goes to waste
And the cycle just continues -- the fuckin' rat race
But that'll be the past; a bright new day is getting here
The paths all too clear; cause their end is getting' near
And this'll all take time, so don't play me as a fool
But think of all that's possible if we change the rules
Of how the game is played, I mean how it's all been run
Replace greed with honor be amazed at what's to come
