Rumors Of War

Yeah, read the headlines, it's another dramatic episode
 That's what we face daily living on this reckless globe
 My pen explodes just writing about these present days
 Losing optimism, thinking things'll never change
 And the streets on fire, always in an endless blaze
 From gun for gun combat where plenty lead exchange
 Soon as the metal sprays innocents get sent to graves
 Based on any cause, from money to a jealous rage
 Or maybe orders a presidential directive gave
 To put a head out on enemies forming a domestic
 A world consumed in violence and always infested
 By men blood-shed, it's just another norm accepted
 Nation overseas war-torn and neglected
 While people mourning on the loss those the coroners inspected
 Call the president, for what, it's all evident
 He'd rather promote war stead of resolving (?)
 I got a future on my mind, as I'm staring at the atlas
 Who knows what tomorrow brings, I'm searching for the answers
 The good days are gone now, it's obvious and quite clear
 That the American dream is now a nightmare
 And nothing is sure, but at the end I will win
 And as regardless to the factor that the projection is grand
 The revolution won't be heard if the records don't spin
 So tell the DJ play it over, again and again
 Ayo, reality is harsh enough to make you want to take the bottom
 And pour the liquor out to wash away the pain and sorrow
 Fighting with time 'cause it seems to be my greatest rival
 But by the looks of things who knows what I'mma face tomorrow
 Judging of the direction the world is spinning in
 Living on a land has been cursed since the beginning when
 Eve bit the fruit from the serpent that was slithering
 We went from purposeful living, attending church to the terrors from sinning
 Now we all about chasing papes, worshipping fur and Timbalands
 Young teens is only concerned with earning Benjamins
 Instead of being intellect, swell-learned and disciplined
 Brainwashed by media through co-worker conditioning
 Politicians work behind the scenes, I heard 'em whispering
 Jotting up plans to put the world in imprisonment
 No time to sleep, you better stay alert to how the system is
 And end up as a casualty
 Yo, people buried alive from financial collapses
 Purposely designed just to deprive the masses
 The rich eat good while we starve for the rashes
 Work hard, while they commit frauds and live lavish
 Casualties of wall street from stock market crashes
 The wicked prosper while we suffer, it's all backwards
 Young troops fighting abroad, taking chances
 Putting they lives to risk and being blown to ashes
 All they wanted was scholarships to pay for classes
 But in return they got sent back home in caskets
 Wrapped in American flags, it's type tragic
 Lives shattered over many lives crafted
 But politicians want to see their dollars expanding
 Corruption running wild they ramping on the hostile planet
 So I prepare for the worst with the time I've been granted
 Shedding light on those who wasn't wise enough to grasp it
