Just Some Words

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.
