Give Me Faith

25,000 people starve to death a day
 But we somehow just push it away
 And racism still runs rampant, and I'm just saying facts
 Like in South Africa farm murders whites slaughtered by blacks
 I'm sorry if mentioning violence against whites makes you mad
 And I'm sorry if you felt attacked
 But on second thought, I take that back
 Only a racist would have felt attacked by that
 Because it's wrong regardless of skin color or where it's at
 Some people hate the fact that I spit these facts
 Don't let them divide us, they're all fakes in disguise
 I've seen behind the scenes of the enemy's lines
 And now I need laundry detergent for both of my eyes
 Every word, every line, I have a surgical mind
 Putting gloves on, but not for Corona, it's surgery time
 Known to be peaceful, but I'll murder these lines
 I'm a white man, hugging my leg was a black kid
 I looked down, and he had the biggest smile you could imagine
 A beautiful soul trapped in a frail bony body slowly fading while starving
 America's waste is so great we could feed the whole human race
 You want a picture of greed? Take a look at its face
 I'm ashamed I've ever complained
 But we're so focused on our own hurt we forget other people's pain
 I don't judge anyone, who decides what's sane?
 You can have a beautiful face but a terrible brain
 If you've never felt their wounds, you'll never dress their pain
 Let alone ever know how to address their pain
 Rest in peace to the unknown names who were quarantine-killed
 Mental illness can kill, I know it well
 Bipolar, depressed, given labels and pills
 Suicides are on the swell if you couldn't tell
 And the night gets the darkest for the mentally ill
 I know because I'm one of them
 And now I'm fed up
 And I'm not talking about food, I'm fed up with you
 But speaking about food, no money means no food to eat
 You should just try farming things
 Put on some John Deere and pretend that it's Halloween
 Wander into your backyard and just start farming things
 School taught us the history of famines but never harvesting
 And why did we never learn a single thing about gardening?
 At least we can do Algebra and move the "x" while starving
 They say school is there to grow us morally and even productively, too
 Then start teaching kids how to do taxes and how to grow food
 And money management, too
 I never learned either when I was in school
 I just memorized textbook texts for testing
 Shoutout to the real teachers who cared, it's refreshing
 But teaching kids they're here on accident isn't the best thing
 I know because the suicidal constantly text me
 Rumors become tumors if left to live in your head
 Spiders live online, that's why they call it the web
 Kindness brought me back, a simple hug and a text
 Connect before correct like Rich Wilkerson said
 I stopped reading words unless written in red
 Because if Jesus didn't say it, I don't care who did
 All I give you are these ashes
 Need my faith to be more than a caption
 Yeah, we talk but got to put it to action
 I need that one-on-one real-life interaction
 I need that intimacy where I'm giving my passion
 Redirect my focus, eliminating distractions
 Satisfaction, I can only imagine
 Giving up this life for You in small fractions
 One day, I'm gon' spend eternity in Your presence, it's everlasting
 Try and mimic the feeling but nothing ever matches
 I don't rap just to get a reaction
 I want to see 'em saved and hate turned to compassion
 So dependent on where you at
 Just because you're down it doesn't mean that you're trapped
 Under attack so now you wanna retract
 Give it up to God, it's time to bounce back
 Take me higher
 Make me a survivor
 Redirect my focus
 'Til You're my heart's desire
 I took all I can take, and now I'm really under fire
 Give me faith, Lord, to do more than required
