Since when did we decide to reject our senses
0:05
Believe the senseless when they gave their two senses, thinking there are no consequences, that is senseless
0:17
Since when did we decide that it's a vibe if we are derogatory towards women, singing about sex, drugs, and violence, yeah, we win'in. senseless
0:29
since when did we decide that it's the wave to hide behind lies
0:35
claim we want to save lives but then go wrap about gats, guns and knives
0:40
yeah we win it senseless since when did we decide that if a man cries masculinity dies
0:52
that if one tear falls from his eyes he feminine and somehow lesser than not a real man who is this helping Can someone please tell me how this could help bring anything positive
1:08
I know it's not helping me, and I know it's not helping he who has to hide behind a tough exterior
1:15
keeping tears locked away to show that he's superior. Who is this helping
1:21
I know it's not me, and I know it's not she who has to
1:25
question whether she's inferior to men who rap about her as though she has no interior
1:31
Who is this helping? I know it's not me, and I know it's not the children who think it's cool to be violent, be delinquent
1:42
but then when it comes time when courage and respect is needed, silence
1:50
What you say, what you do, and what you wear matters. It can inspire an uplift or be a disaster And unfortunately some people just don care as long as that bank account is getting fatter
2:07
They're only worried about getting a check-in if it's at the expense of the well-being of others to them
2:14
Doesn't matter. So if that's you, listen up closely because your beliefs I'm coming after
2:25
encouraging cyclical patterns, sick little patterns, , give me your platform, watch what I make
2:30
happen. All of our actions have an effect on the society, culture, and political aspects
2:39
Each one of us has a ripple effect. On the impressionable culture that looks up to us to perfect it
2:47
On the impressionable youth that look up to us to direct it. On the governing body
2:55
who looks up to us to elect it It 2019 guys Come on It time to get it right Let have the consensus be to stand with our senses
3:09
So when they come to take away women's rights, stiff arm the mic penses, that's good defenses
3:16
When they rep about gets, guns, and fights take away their platforms
3:21
That's consequences. And when a man cries, he embraces his emotions. Let's applaud and support him because that's a sensation
3:32
Let's have bright intentions, good inventions, honesty, respect, and integrity. Those are just honorable mentions
3:40
But most of all, let's reject the senseless and inject our senses with love
3:48
It's 2019. At this point, we owe it to ourselves. to be far above
