Reading the early morning paper
A young lady, got killed
Trying to protect, her family
What a tragedy
We've all been told, death is the enemy
It's hopeless, living in this world
Of brutality
Nothing will ever get better
Society is imperfect, so we kill each other
They told me, patience is the key
I'm tired of waiting
I'm just gonna kick the door in
How can we make a change
If no one is moving
This world we live in, is not improving
I'm a person, who likes to use my brain and
Think for myself
You don't have to follow, and agree
With Something, just because
Everyone else does
What's on the news, poor countries
Need better education
Violence, is a nemesis, to our generation
This world don't love me
I'm looking for protection
I've been, searching for more opportunities
Fame is not my friend, I've got my own Responsibilities
What's on the news
An innocent girl, got rape and killed
Rest in peace, Aiia Maasarwe
How can one man, be so heartless
So much pain and suffering, the struggles
Of life got me wondering
Millennials blinded, by technology
So many people living in poverty
Reading the early morning paper
A 16 year old kid, just got shot
Walking home, after school
Minding his business
3pm, one afternoon, not much witness
Gun down by a bullet, that wasn't
Meant for him, this world is so insane
I have to live my life, everyday looking over My shoulders
Most people, don't know, what it's like to be
Sober
What's on the news
Domestic violence, a man, beat his wife
With a shovel
14 year old girl, stab her 11 year old sister
30 times, back in 2014
Reading the early morning paper
People in poor countries
Don't have clean water
Too many dieing, from sickness and disease
With no opportunities, it's difficult to Succeed
You should be thankful, if you're still alive
And breathing, your life hasn't been taken
Thank you lord, i am not forsaken
This world is broken, I'm surrounded
By despicable people, they will do anything For power and attention
Hiding behind, their sins and addictions
Pain will never end, there's no conclusion
The Youth don't know anything
Lack of education
Too many mistakes, lies and broken Promises, I am not anonymous
People will crucify you for your Accomplishments
Not everyone, can be prime ministers and Presidents
Reading the early morning paper
People dieing, from suicide and cancer
Life can be depressing
Whenever you lose a love one
Teenagers, killing each other
With handguns
Young girls, having abortions
The trials and tribulations
What will you do, in a life or death
Situation
A child, got molested
A teacher got arrested, for sleeping with a Student, on Tuesday
Why do all famous people die
In the same way
What's on the news
War and terrorism
Discrimination and racism
We live in a world of judgement and Criticism
Reading the early morning paper
A women, shot by a police officer
Let's face reality
Nobody is protecting us
Even are friends and families
Keep killing us
What's on the news
This man, had 7 kids, with his own daughter
He Locked Her, for 24 Years
In the basement
Years of resentment
Fake news and advertisement
College admissions, scandal
Famous parents, paying lot's of money
For their kids
To get in to a great university
Society is selfish
I wanna overcome adversity
Reading the early morning paper
So many homeless people
Dieing on the streets
I don't wanna sit down, and take a seat
This world is stressing me out, i can't sleep
Wanna be Christians and false prophets
This world, will never be perfect
Sometimes, change can be worth it
I'm looking for my purpose
We can all die tomorrow
That's why I'm so nervous
Acceptance, closed the door on me
But rejection let me in
Now I'm trapped in a house, of resentment Emptiness and sin
Nothing stays the same, that's the reality People killing each other, in their own Communities, I hate living in this Imperfect Society
Rest in power, Aiia Maasarwe
Rest in power, Aiia Maasarwe
Everyone, has the right to get home
Safely
This world, hasn't been kind lately
Everyone, has the right to get home
Safely
This world, hasn't been kind lately
I've been, reading the early morning paper
Reading the early morning paper
I'm just, reading the early morning paper
