smile slyly think it's great

think I don't know what you're scheming

 in between your words I find your meaning
You might find when I'm pushed to far

Don't mistake my kindness for weakness

You will find when I'm pushed to far¦

Don't mistake my kindness for weakness
Think I don't remember what you say?

Decided to be trust worthy today

Think I don't attend to your actions?

Your philosophy has much lacking.
You will find when I'm pushed too far

Don't mistake my kindness for weakness

You might find when I'm pushed to far

That I strike back until the blood comes out.
Don't mistake my kindness for weakness!

"Erase"
Time doesn't erase the images from the mind

you never forget the violence

Time doesn't erase the damage that's been done

at the hand of your own blood

time doesn't erase the screaming, the bleeding,

The crying in a place called home

time doesn't erase

the feeling

left on the skin

the hatred planted to grow inside a child
Blood isn't thicker than water

Your blood isn't thicker than water

Blood isn't thicker than water

Your blood isn't thicker than water

"Essential Freedoms"
In the future days which we seek to make secure we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms¦

Freedom of Speech

Freedom from Fear

Freedom from Want

Freedom of Worship-                      Franklin Delano Roosevelt, January 1941

Freedom of speech

to analyze, criticize, philosophize, energize, debate, create a positive change

Freedom from fear

from hate, from rape, from war, from violence, police brutality, injustice

freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom
Freedom from want

to have shelter, clothing, health care, food, clean air and water

Freedom of worship

No bigotry, ignorance, homophobia, misogynism, keep the separation of church and state

Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom
Freedom of speech, freedom from fear, freedom from want, freedom of worship

"Strike Down"
Discover what you want to do

Begin to do it now

You're not guaranteed a lifetime

So do what you love now

Doesn't matter how young you are

It doesn't matter how old

There's nothing to fall back on

Don't listen to what you were told
Don't get caught

in a search for security

Pursue all your passions

or die from monotony

Think of what you've got to give

Don't let them pump you with fear

Know what passions drive you,

To thine ownself be true
Strike down your fears

And follow your bliss

Become what you've imagined

That moment begins here
Stop to Think
The pills, the rope, the gun, the razor,

You think each is an option when you have no hope
Consequences, consequences, consequences

You better stop to think about it!
You may have stopped the pain for yourself,

but you started the pain for somebody else

"The Ignorance"
The ignorance, the ignorance, the ignorance it pains me
Take the time to educate the mind/ read a book fill/ your mind with some new ideas/ Take a class/ turn off the t.v./ have a debate/ based upon research/ This is democracy/ you must participate/ make yours/ an educated vote/ You are responsible/ protect your freedoms/ don't let them tear/ our constitution apart
The ignorance, the ignorance, the ignorance it pains me
..^..

"Si, Se Puede"
Si, se puede

Si, si se puede

Si, se puede

Si, si se pued

 We can do it!

We can do it!

We can do it now!
Empieza el cambio

Lo necesitamos hacer horita

Start the change

We need to do it no

 Todos somos humanos

Tenemos responsibilidades por todo

We are all human beings

We have responsibilities to each other

Piensa antes de hablar

Piensa antes de gastar

Think before you speak

Think before you spend

Cuando eres cultura popular

No eres amenanza

Once you are popular culture

You are not a threat
Si, se puede,

si, si se puede
We can do it!

We can do it!

We can do it now!
..^..

"Inspired"
You take it

You leave it

You come back to retrieve it

through all of my sorrow

forged my success tomorrow

You think that I forget

all the words that were said

I buried them deep down 

to push, force and drive me
I'm passing through

Passing through this pain and you

I'm passing through

Passing through this pain and you
Inspiration is the only emotion

that I have left when I think of you

Inspired me to make better choice

 than I did by choosing you
I'm passing through

Passing through this pain and you

I'm passing through

Passing through this pain and you
Disconnect myself, use rational mind

think of how I saved potential wasted time

given time it's always easy to see

I came with everything to give

you had suffering to offer me
I'm passing through

Passing through this pain and you

I'm passing through

Passing through this pain and you

"Lead, Follow or Get Out of the Way"
A lack of action is your own submission

Lead, follow or get out of the way

Your complaints and apathy aren't changing anything

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

Sedating yourself will not help

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

Leave this world a better place than you found it
Lead, follow, or get out of the way
Educate yourself to arm yourself

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

Commit, persist, empower, sacrifice

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

Be the next Mead, Gandhi, Anthony

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

Be the next Chavez, Mandela, or King
Lead, follow, or get out of the way
Lead, follow, or get out of the way
..^..
