Sometimes I sit and wonder,
If Romeo really loved Juliet
Or if she still lived, would she be a capulet
I wonder if Al Pacino never lived,
Would we still have Scarface
Or if drugs didn't exist,
Would there still be a reason to shoot up the place?
I wonder if Obama didn't win the election,
Who would be the face of hope
Or would Americans just find another way to cope
If there was no economic crisis,
what would the dilemma be
Or would we resort back to the fight against poverty?
I wonder if the bum at the corner
begging for pocket change and pennies,
Is gonna use his income for a bottle of henny
I wonder if we still had laws of prohibition,
Would alcoholic men still beat on helpless women
Or would they find a way to continue their sippin,
and all of their other deadly addictions?
I wonder if MJ never died,
Would people still rep him with a sense of pride
Would Tupac still be rappin' if he never got shot
Finding ways to kill with verbal bullets of a glock
I wonder if illimunati really exists,
Or if it's a myth to throw off the 99%
I wonder if Casey Anthony never killed her kid,
Would Nancy Grace still have a reason to throw a fit
Would Geraldo still say it's not about race,
If Trayvon Martin put a bullet in his face
Would the BART officer still be sorry,
If his execution wasn't streamed via 3G
If 9/11 never happened, why would Bush tell us we went to Iraq
Would it be to prevent the US from another terrorist attack
Would Rihanna's diamonds still shine bright
If Chris Brown and her never got in that fight
Would Kendrick Lamar, still spit bars
If he just rapped about money, clothes, and cars?
If Apple never re-hired Steve Jobs,
Would we still have iPhones and iPods
Would Kanye still be hated,
If he took the mic from Bey defending Taylor Swift
Would Lupe still rap about the Gaza strip,
If hip hop would've saved another little kid
Would the Feds still kill John Lennon
If he didn't tell all the people to imagine
Would suicide still be the end of Cobain,
If heroine didn't find its' way through his veins
Would JFK still have been assassinated,
If no one thought him and Marilyn dated
Would the US still be the land of the free,
If the Mayflower didn’t make it across the shining sea?
I wonder a lot of things
What if, would, or could be
What if we used our strengths
And turned our words into our fists
Using our time to make the world
A better place to exist
Taking attention away,
From drama and gossip
Giving our minds all these fillers
In the form of celeb babies and hook ups
The media is busy distracting,
Turning Kardashians' reality into acting
Making Hannah Montana think she’s hip hop,
I’m asking now, Miley, will you ‘please stop?!’
Will you use your attention to have a voice?
Like Sophia Bush advocates equality and choice?
Ellen Degeneres came out and never looked back,
Inspiring people that change,
Can be accomplished with tact
Abraham Lincoln, Ghandi, Mandela and Luther,
They helped give people a better future
Mother Teresa represents the good one person can do,
They are all one person, and guess who else is?
You.
