I Want Us To Be Aware
I mentioned in a song that words can flow as long as the Nile River
 my wording and diction are what make people chipper
 they get excited, like kids on Christmas Eve
 to look on their laptop and see a gift from the King
 from me to you, is what the description reads
 to whoever it may concern or please
 i want you to be apart of my history
 
 I want to be socially aware,
 as the planes fly over head,
 and the bombs through the air
 as the economy grows but the money still slows
 all i can really count on is my flow
 As women are abused and condoms aren't used
 i want to be the loud voice that helps to sooth
 a loud voice is more likely to gets its meaning through
 because isnt a soft voice meaningless to you?
 i've tried a quiet riot but now the time is here
 to make 2010 one awesome year...
 
 I want you to be aware too
 understand the depths of what people do
 an immigrant does not always equal criminal
 but criminals are why we stand like sentinals
 guarding so these people can't get passed
 but everyone's an immigrant, news flash
 Only one people were actually here first
 but now they are but a small population of Earth
 and of the United States, such a grand ol' place
 where people live without water to splash on their face
 no running water if their water runs
 and if they need more supplies,
 well they're done
 
 As Americans we should not try to pretend as if the past didn't happen
 But we cannot dwell as well
 In fact simple acknowledgement is what i seek
 I seek it for those who cannot speak
 loud enough to let their demands be met
 you will remember about the loud voice yet
 
 We are aware now..
