It's Your Choice
How can we live
in this world full of hate?
I got people in my ear sayin’
“It’s just our fate”
People on the street corners
starvin’ and dyin’
Children in their rooms
hurtin’ and cryin’
How can we let life
go on like it is
And turn around and ask,
“Where’re my frienz?”
They prob’ly got drunk
at a party and drove
They prob’ly got high
and overdosed
Remember when they said,
“Oh, this is the shhh—“
Then they smoked a blunt,
or drunk, drove, and got hit?
How can we live
in this world full of hate?
It’s your choice that makes the difference,
not our fate!!
So, Make a Difference,
Live Above the Influence
