I wake up in the morning
And I’m scared to leave my home
Scared to face the hatred out on these streets
Scared of the way people react when the look at me
I pray for the day when we can all live as one
So many men out dealing or stealing in these streets
Women are selling their bodies just to get food to eat
Children are growing up to live this life in repeat
We kill each other for stupid and simple things
Treating life like it’s a worthless thing
We only have ourselves to blame for all the sufferings
We’re hating on each other because of what we look like
Thinking we’re better because of our education
We look down on each other because our jobs are better
But how dirty would the world be without those street cleaners
Why can’t we just stop all the hating and just accept and love each other
We blame everything wrong in our lives on god or society
Never willing to open our eyes to the world’s beauty
We refused to accept that the fault is our own
We refused to see that the world is crumbling because of us
Why can’t we stop all the bloodshed and live in unity
We claim that we are free from slavery
But are we really free?
We’re all still living in slavery
We are slaves of the government and of ourselves
We all need to wake up and open our eyes
To all that is happening around us
We need to stop the hating and live in unity and love
